Next to facilitating the American
Army's redeployment the most i'm
portant Job to which German
prisoners will be turned probably
will be farming-trying to raise
enough food to win what obviously
will be close race with starvation
in Middle Europe next winter.
There is still another job awaiting
them-the task of rebuilding ruined
Europe.
Russia and Britain already are
using war prisoners for reconstruc-
ton. France has put in her bid
for tens of thousands for this pur-
pose.
1t seems likely the Germans may
have to work out much of their rep
arations in sheer sweat, perhaps for
years to come. 1t. Gen. Lucius D..

the occupation of Germany, has said
that when the Reich is combed for
this labor job the most active Nazis
will be placed on top of the list.
Little Information Given.
Supreme headquarters is giving
out little information on the exact
stage which has been reached in the
vast task of rounding up and dis
arming the surrendered Germany
Army. The best available unofficial
information, however, is that the dis
arming is complete and that Nazi
troops inside Germany are all
rounded up.
1t still is not clear what has been
done about getting the Germans out
of Norway and Denmark. To all
specific questions on this subject, Of
ficials at advanced supreme head
quarters at Reims have indicated
that no answer will be forthcomine
for week or more.
