Proposal by the British Delegation 1

[Extract2]

A Tentative Suggestion for Amendments to the Proposals on Reparations of the Government of the United States

. . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Note: The Soviet Government might be asked to enter into an undertaking as regards valuable foodstuffs and coal in the Russian Zone of Germany as it existed in 1937 being made available to the rest of Germany in accordance with detailed terms to be drawn up by the Control Council after full enquiry into the effects. This agreement might run for 12 months and be subject to reconsideration thereafter.
