He declared "Germany's war-making potential must be eliminated, many of her plants and factories shifted east and west to friendly countries, all other heavy industries destroyed, the Junkers estates broken up, her exports and imports strictly controlled, German assets and business organizations all over the world rooted out." Baruch denied that his program would mean destruction of the German people. He conceded that they would have a comparatively low standard of living for a time but said it wcuId .not.be as low as Germany imposed on occupied countries or much lower than they assumed under Hitler. Baruch said he believed his proposed settlement of the German question could be used as the basis of a comprehensive, all-embracing agreement with Russia on the major peace problems "because it would solve the Russian question of securty against Germany." r 1

1ST ARMY GROUP HEADQUARTERS, June 22. (UP)tThe Allies plan to stamp out the German general staff for all time by splitting its members into small groups and exiling them in detention camps outside Germany. Gen. Sir Bernard L.

It was these Prussian militarists who plotted World War I and, after their defeat in 1918, immediately began preparing for World War II. The men will be detained in camps along "British lines of communication to the English channel and North Sea coast, but outside Germany," Montgomery said. Thus the camps presumably would be in Holland, Belgium France and Denmark.
