LONDON, Nov. 22.-Allied con-
sideration of postwar political and
economic structure for Germany Is
expected to be speeded up as a re-
suit of the meeting of President
Roosevelt, Prime Minister Church.
Ill and Premier Stain which, ac-
cording to reports from America, is
believed to be imminent.
Following preliminary exchange
OF views by the three chiefs of state,
this problem, involving peace en-
forcement and control of German
industry, is likely to be submitted
to the new European Advisory Com
mission in London for joint study.
The problem is likely to be referred
to the commission as too complex
for snap Judgment.
The partition of Germany into
several states with decentralized in
dustries has been proposed in vari-
Gus quarters, but this solution ap-
pears to have gained little support
among advisers of the three govern
ments.
Consequently, the London COM
mission Is expected to search for
substitute measures.
Various Possibilities Studied.
Root OF the problem is the Allied
intention to disarm Germany and
prevent the use of her industries
for the manufacture of warplanes,
tanks and guns in the future With
some system of control implied in
any such project, the American,
British and presumably the Soviet
governments have been studying
various possibilities which they are
guarding against premature dis
closure until they can settle on one
No decision in favor of any single
plan has been reached by any of the
three governments as far as can be
learned. Hence 1t is probable that
the commission will undertake the
study of data prepared in the various
capitals and will be asked to recon-
mend plan.
The three governments are be-
lieved to be anxious to have a work.

possible in the event Germany is
forced to capitulate sooner than
now seems likely. Nevertheless, they
are moving cautiously.
''Whatever we do" one British
offcial said, I'VE must be sure to do
the right thing this time politically
and economically, to prevent a re-
currence of German aggression"
A Reuters dispatch from Wash
ington Saturday night said an an
nouncement was expected soon in
Washington on meeting of Mr.
Roosevelt, Prime Minister Churchill
and Premier Stain.
U. S. Action Expected.
The United States was expected
today to make an early announce
ment of its delegate to the Commits
sion, following the appointment yes
terday of the British and Russian
representatives.
William Strang, undersecretary of
state in the Foreign Office, was
named as Britain's delegate, and
Feodor Tarsovich Gusev, Soviet Am
bassador to Britain, was appointed
to represent Russia on the commits
sion, which will advise the three
governments on European problems
as the war progresses.
There has been unofficial specula-
ton in London that the United
States representative will be AM
bassador John G.. Winant.
An expert on Central European
and Russian affairs, Mr.. Strang was
Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden's
assistant at the Moscow conference.
Gusev, 80, came to London as am
bassador on October 2, succeeding
Ivan M. Maisky. He was Soviet am
bassador to Canada in 1942-43. His
appointment was announced in a
communique broadcast from Mos
cow.

Mr.. Gusev served in the Lenin-
grad State Office from 193l-35 and
IN 1889 was appointed chief of the
second European department in the
commissariat. Mr.. Strang, so, en-
tered the Foreign Office in 1919 at
Belgrade. From 1930-33 he was
counselor of the Moscow Embassy
and in 1899 he went to Moscow as
British representative to the French
British-Russian conference which
unsuccessfully attempted to nego-
tlate mutual assistance pact.
Will Of People Stressed.
AS the commission took shape, a
Moscow dispatch quoted the trade
union journal, War and the Work
ing Glass, as stressing the an
nounced Soviet policy of leaving the
future organization Of Europe to the
free wills of the people.
