West Allies Approve
Reich Constitution
with Reservations
BY the Associated Press

FRANKFURT. Germany May
t3.-The Western Allies approved
with reservations last night ths
new West German federal re-
public's draft constitution.
Thus they gave themselves q
high trump card for use in the
May 20 Paris peace talks with
Russia seeking a solution to the
entire German problem.
They are shooting for an ul-
innate agreement uniting ths
Soviet zone of Germany with ths
republic. and hope the constitu.
tion, which gurantees a free gov
ernment of the people. will bt
the basis for settlement.
Interim. Treaty Ordered.
The Americans. British and
French also ordered an "occupa-
ton statute" or interim peace
treaty for the Western occupation
zones $4,000. 900 Germans. to
come into force the day the West
German government takes Office.
It's terms had been announced
earlier this year.
Gen. Lucius D. Clay. for the
United States, Gen. Sir Brian
Robertson for Britain and 1t. Gen.
Pierre Koenig for France signed
the constitution. Their action cut
away the last obstacle to forma-
tion Of the first German civil gov
ernment since the war.
The draft constitution now goes
to the IL state parliaments in
Western Germany for ratification
which, may be, completed before
the end of May.
The military governors signed
with reservations designed to make
sure that no "jokers" in the con-
stitution's wording would permit
the Germans to do these things:
/. Violate the occupation statute
which limits German government
In the fields Of armament.

eigi relations and trade. q
Q. Form a strong central police
force under any pretext without
The occupation authorities con-
sent.
s. Give West Berlin representa-
tives at this time voting rights In
4 future government. West Berlin
Is excluded from the proposed re-
public.
4. Change state borders until
the peace treaty"
S. Use any device to achieve
excessive concentration of au-
in the central govern
ment.
Arms Making Controlled.
An article in the constitution
says specifically that weapons
designed for warfare may be
manufactured, transported or
marketed only with permission Of
the federal government Gen.
Clay said this is not q "joker"
because international and mill
tary government laws. which are
paramount. forbid the Germans to
manufacture war goods.
Rather, Gen. Clay said. the pro-
vision is intended to put weapons
manufacture under government
control. instead Of In private
hands, and that he considers it a
good thing"
Approval Of the draft constitu-
ton was announced in a letter to
DR.. Konrad Adenauer. president
Of the Bonn Constituent Assembly
which drafted 1t. Adenauer and
other German leaders expressed
no surprise over the servations.
