U S Plans Rehabilitating Germany After War Indemnities
Washington reports two developments in the postwar plan to prevent another World War III. Officials pursue a civilian Allied commission to run Germany’s economy and set reparations to sustain a functioning state, not to cripple it. Leon Henderson warns that severing Germany into three zones would fail economically, urging unified management, while a Soviet emphasis on reparations in kind risks wrecking the plan.
