British Journal Opposes
Dismembermenf Of Reich
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, Oct. THE influential
British weekly, Economist, warned
yesterday that even partial dis
memberment of defeated Germany
would disrupt its economy and peril
postwar peace.
Observing that precise indications
of Allied plans still were obscure,
the usually well-informed journal
said the probabilities were for new
eastern border following the Neisse-
Oder line from Zittau to Stettin and
western frontier on the Rhine. In
addition, it said, there are indica-
tions that the Rhine-Ruhr indus
trial area whose major part is east
of the Rhine will be formed into a
large industrial bridgehead under
Allied or international sovereignty.
Co. Such action, the Economist pre-
dicted, would leave Germany with
some 3 per cent of its prewar coal
Sc per cent of its prewar pigiron
and l6 per cent. of prewar steel ca
pacity. Hydraulic electric power
would be cut SO per cent and an
other 36 per cent of its power would
depend on getting enough coal to
run steam-driven dynamos.
