three powers deem esential.  A Control Council, composed
of representatives in equal numbers from each of the three
Allied Governments, would be established by the Supreme
Allied Authority and will coordinate the administration of
military government throughout Germany, including detailed 
planning for the execution of directives received from the 
three governments.  We expect to have a recommended plan
on this from the European Advisory Commission in the near
future.
 
 
2.  Important Problems For Which
 
    High Policy Decisions Must Be Worked
 
    Out by the Three Governments.
 
 
 The fundamental question to be decided is what kind 
of a Germany we want and what policy should be put into
effect during occupation to attain our objectives.  The 
most important of these problems are set forth below with
an explanation of the State Department's views.  It should 
be emphasized, however, that these objectives will have to 
be worked out with our principle Allies if they are to be
applied throughout the German Reich.
 
 
 (a)  Demilitarization of Germany.  The complete dissolu-
tion of all German armed forces and all Nazi military, 
paramilitary and police orginizations, and the destruction or
scrapping of all arms, ammunition, and implements of war
should be effected.  Further manufacture in Germany of arms, 
ammunition and implements of war should be prohibited.
 
 
 (b)  Dissolution of the Nazi Party and all affiliated
orginizations.  The Nazi Party should be immediately dissolved.  Large groups of particular objectionable elements,
especially the SS and the Gestapo, should be arrested and
interned and war criminals should be tried and, if found
guilty, executed.  Active party members should be excluded 
from political or civil activity and subject to a number of
restrictions.  All laws discriminating against persons on 
grounds of race, color, creed or political opinion should
be annulled
 
 
 (c)  Extensive controls should be maintained over 
communications, press and propoganda for the purpose of 
eliminating Nazi doctrines or similar teachings.
 
 
 (d)  Extensive controls over German educational system 
should be established for the purpose of eliminating all 
Nazi influence and propoganda.
