the procedures to be followed in such trials, and they should
be cleared with the British, Russians, and French as quickly
as possible, so that they can be communicated to the appropriate
occupying authorities without delay.
 
 
 All laws discriminating against persons on grounds
of race, color, creed, political activity or opinion, should
be annulled."
 
 
To Paragraph (e) should be added the following:
 
 
 "The territories of Germany which are to be ceded
to other countries are understood to be all or most of East
Prussia and some parts of Silesia. The question of the Rhine-
land and the Saar is closely connected with the treatment of
the Ruhr. We recommend as the present view of the United States
that a strong control over the products of this area must be
maintained by means of some form of international trusteeship
of its products and resources. It should not be obliterated
as an industrial productive center, but it must be actively
managed by others than Germans and otherwise completely taken
from German domination.
 
 
 On the other hand no efforts shall be made to
rebuild any of the destroyed plants in Germany until permission
is given by appropriate Allied or United Nations authority."
