The justice of the demand that Germans help to rebuild what they have

years would help to counteract the results of the biological warfare
practised by the Germans since 1939.  Acquiescence in such decisions

General
All details of the treatment of Germany should be based on decisions by
the United Nations, not by any one country or group.  The restoration
of political autonomy to Germany should begin with small units-
villages, towns, cities, sections - and should proceed gradually toward
the final objective of centralized authority in a state. The tempo of
procession toward that final objective and the duration of the regime
of Allied Military Government should be determined solely by the course
of events, both as regards the development of democratic forces among
Germans and as regards the establishment of a world organization
competent to preserve the peace against the threat of aggression from
any quarter.
