Plan to Strip German War Plants
Paris AP A reparations program to remove Germany's war plants and avoid past mistakes would destroy Germany's war potential. Ambassador Edwin W Pauley, Truman's rep on the reparations commission, says the goal is to industrialize Germany's reconstruction while eliminating war capability. He notes US will seek a claim but emphasizes damaged property costs over punitive monetary repayment. The plan includes possibly using the Merkers salt mine gold hoard as restitution and aims to Moscow talks with a clear program, though Russia and Britain may differ.
