McNarney Blasts France Over Treating Germany as One Economy
Gen Joseph T. McNarney, U.S. military governor in Germany, says it is nearly impossible to restore a fully sustaining German economy while France resists treating Germany as a single economic unit. He notes progress in de-Hazification and reparations, but warns that zonal boundaries hinder trade and administration. Despite easing unrest, he cites localized incidents and says food imports are essential to maintain a 1500 calorie daily diet. Industrial recovery remains slow due to coal and power shortages, with about one third of plants authorized to resume production by Dec 1.
