gamble for a change. They rushed
to the standard of the late Frank

Unification Of the British and
zones of Germany, based
on a plan prepared for Secretary OF
State Byrnes by a group OF his
advisers, puts Russia on the spot
and leaves it up to her to decide
whether it shall be economic war or
peace between the eastern and
western Allies.
Mr.. Byrnes and British Foreign
Secretary Bevin on December 3 an
nounced the agreement for eco
nomic fusion of the two zones, and
its provisions are now being put into
effect. Russia and France have
been invited to associate themselves
with the merger, bringing their
zones into the unified area, but so
far have failed to do SO.
The position of the Russians is
simply one of refusal to 60 along
with economic unification until po-
litical unification is accomplished,
too. They also resent cessation OF
reparations removals from the
American zone-of which they are
entitled to 25 per cent-and want,
of course, Soviet-type economy es-
tablished in Germany as whole.
France, too, opposes economic uni
fication If it is going to lead to po-
litical unification and resurrection
of a strong centralized Germany,
and in any event refuses to join in
the movement for fusion until her
demands for internationalization OF
the Ruhr and Rhineland and an
nexation' of the Saar to France are
satisfied.
Ministers to Meet March 10.
The whole question will receive a
thorough airing when the Big Four
Foreign Ministers meet March 10 in
Moscow, and probably will be given
considerable preliminary treatment
by the special deputies-Lt. Gen.
Lucius D. Clay has been named to
act for Mr.. Byrnes-when they be-
gin their work in January.
If Russia refuses to come into the
merger she will be making what
amounts to a declaration of eco
nomic war against the western
powers. If she accepts she will be
accepting defeat in the policy which
she has followed assiduously since
her occupation in Germany began.
Meanwhile, the United States and
Britain are filling the vacuum which
the total defeat of the Nazis left in
the political and economic life OF
Europe. The two countries are
sharing equally-a distinct Amer
ican victory-in the burden Of put
ting a large part of Germany back
on it's feet again.
The British, fearful that the plan
would deplete British dollar credits,
originally proposed that the two

countries share the cost of economic
unification on a basis of 80 per cent
to be paid by the United States and
20 per cent by the British. They
abandoned this insistence and
yielded to a $3.50 agreement.
The fusion plan brings to a sharp
focus the essential conflict between
the free economy of the western
Allies and the closed economy of
Soviet Russia, and out OF this
struggle the fate of Germany-and
ultimately of all Europe-will be de-
cided. With the British and Ameri-
can zones unified, Central and
Western Germany are tied tightly
to democratic economy. An effective
barrier is erected to further expan-
sion of Soviet economy and ideology.
Two Basic Requirements
The plan is designed to fill two
basic requirements for Germany's
economic recovery: Food and raw
materials. The United States and
Britain undertake to support both
occupation zones with food during
economic rehabilitation. This is a
Joint obligation. Further, Britain
will pool the greater industrial re-
sources of her zone with the smaller
resources of the American zone tc
establish a new peacetime German
industry. 1t is hoped this new Ger
man economic system will become
self supporting by 1949.
The implementation of the plan
will depend for some time on i'm
portations, and the agreement de-
fines two categories of goods which
will be shipped to Germany. Cate
CORY A comprises the food and med
Iicines required for sustained health,
and under this category it is hoped
that the food ration for Germans
will be raised from its present 1850
calories to 1900, which is still less
than the 1000 usually considered a
minimum.
Although most of the food i'm
ported will come from the United
States, the cost of this category will
be borne equally by the two govern
ments. Reimbursement by the Ger
mans is provided for, when and if
German economy returns to favor
able balance of trade, but the
chances of actual reimbursement
are slight.
The ability of the Americans and
British to carry out successfully this
portion of the plan will determine
to large extent the fate of the
entire fusion program, for if by
fusion a considerable increase in the
German standard of living is pos
sible a potent argument will exist
