conference specific areas which
were assigned Professionally to
Russia and Poland, subject to the
final decisions of the peace con-
Terence"
He said that at the time the
areas were being held by Polish
and Soviet armies, Germans were
fleeing in large numbers and
that the c%onferees were told that
it would be difficult to reorganize
the economic life of those areas
if they were not administered by
the Soviet Union and Poland.
He emphasized that it was
agreed at Potsdam to support at
the peace settlement a Russian
proposal for the ultimate trans
fer to the Soviet Union of the city
of Koenigsberg Capital of East
Prussia) and areas adjacent to
it,"
Byrnes said that unless the
Soviet government changes its
views on the subject we will stand
oy u agreement" then added:
with regard to Sile STA and other
Eastern German areas, the assign
ment to Poland by Russia Tor ad-
ministrative purposes had taken
place before the Potsdam meeting.
The heads of the government
agreed that, pending the final
determination of Poland's western
frontiers, Silesia and other east
ern German areas should not be
considered as a part of the Soviet
zone Of occupation in Germany.
However, as the protocol of
the Potsdam conference makes
clear, the heads of government did
not agree to support at the peace
settlement the cession Of any par.
ticular area"
To Support Revision
Byrnes declared that under the
Yalta agreement poland coded
to the Soviet Union territory east
OF the Curzon line. Because of this,
Poland asked for revision of her
northern and western frontiers.
The United States will support re-
vision Of these frontiers in Po-
lands favor. However. the extent
OF the area to be coded Poland
must be determined when the final

Turning to French claims
Byrnes asserted that the United
States docs not feel that it can
deny to France, which has been
invaded three times by Germany
in 70 years, its claim to the Saar
territory, whose economy has
long been closely linked with
France. OF course, if the Saar ter
rltory is integrated with France,
She should readjust her repara-
tons claim against Germany.
Except as here voiced the
United States will not support en-
croachment on territory which is
indisputably Germany or any di-
vision of Germany which is not
genuinely desired by the people
concerned. So far as the United
States is aware, the people of the
Huhr and the Rhinland desire to
remain united with the rest of
Germany. And the United States
will not oppose their desire"
Byrnes added that the resources
of the Ruhr never again" must
be used for destructive purposes,
and that the United States will
favor such control over the
whole of Germany. including the
Ruhr and R%hineland, as may be
necessary for security purposes.
1t will help to enforce those con-
trolls. But it will not favor any con-
trolls that would subject the Ruhr
and the Rhineland to the political
domination or manipulation of out
side powers"

Deletes Reference
Byrnes deleted from his original
text a reference to a United
States of Germany" in speaking
of a National council which should
draft a German federal constitu-
ton.
Before an audience that includ-
ed German leaders, American and
British occupation officers, French
and British representatives and
three Russian newspapermen but
no official Soviet representative
Byrnes made these principal
points:
/. The United States wants
early establishment of a provision
al government for Germany mot
hand-picked" by other govern
ments and charged with drafting
a federal constitution to be sub
mitted to the German people for
ratification.
In some aspects the speech was
a reply to the July 10 statement Of
Soviet Foreign Minister v. M.
Molotov, who called for a central
German regime but said a federal
government or any dismember-
ent of GERMANY should be project
ed only after a later plebiscite
showed the peoples sentiment.
2. The United States will sup
port revision of Germany's eastern
borders III Poland's favor but 1.-The
extent Of the area to be coded
must be determined when the final
settlement is agreed upon"
3. France should not be denied
the Saar but so far as the United
States is aware the people of the
Ruhr and the Rhineland desire to
remain united with the rest of Ger
many. And the United States will
not oppose their desire"
Peace Terms
4. Tn Allies should make clear
to the Germans Immediately the
essential terms Of the peace settle
ment they expect the Germans to
accept and observe.
5. The United States will continue
to work for complete economic
unitication Of Germany, with zonal
barriers completely obliterated
so far as the economic life and &C
tivity in Germany are concerned"
Byrnes asserted sit is not in the
interest of the German people or
in the interest OF world peace that
Germany should become a pawn
or partner in a military struggle
for power between the East and
West" He said, too, that Europe's
recovery would be endangered if
Germany was made "a poor
house,.
The speech was broadcast in Ger
man over all stations in the Ameri-
can, British and French zones Of
occupation. No arrangements were
competed 10 Send 1t over Russian
stations.
At the conclusion Byrnes threw a
smart salute to the audience, and
raised a clenched fist as the ap-
continued. He left later in
the day for a two-day holiday in
Bavaria, and will return to Paris
Sunday.
