Moscow. he said.
There still was no official indica-
ton of what the communique would
contain, but dispatches from Brit
ish 21st Army group headquarters
in Germany quoted a British staff
officer as saying the Germans
would receive an unpleasant
shock from the control plan for
Germany drawn up at Potsdam.
Some decisions OF the confer
ence were said to have reached
21st Army group headquarters al
ready and the dispatch said the
scheme prepared at Potsdam was
likely to provide for movement Of
surplus German labor to any part
Of the world where it was urgent
ly needed.
The dispatch said It was expect
ed that another important decision
was to lift the ban on German anti
Maxi political activity in both the
British and American zones.
