Germany plan in chaos prompt civilian run of economy
Hard boiled Leon Henderson told President Roosevelt the Allied civilian commission should govern Germany’s civilian economy after the armistice. He criticized the army state department and tripartite commission for sloppy planning and urged that the military take orders from a civilian high commission. Henderson warned the three power split would fail and urged a single civilian authority to run Germany, with U.S. forces following its lead. He declined to return to Germany and plans to study price controls in China. The note warns the chaos could push Germans toward another Kaiser or Hitler.
