COURIER NEWS PAGE THREE THE NATION TODAY 47,000,000 in Germany Given Chance by Western Powers to Set Up Their Own Government By James Marlow WASHINGTON, April 11. (A)-Here's 813 ABC on the agreement to sel up a new German government, which will split Germany in half. The agreement, announced last week. was made by the United Slates, Britain and France. This! is how it came about: When Germany collapsed In 1945, the U.

Britain, France and Russia agreed to divide Germany into four parts, or zones, Each of the four powers would occupy one zone with its troops. And each of the four would run its own zone absolutely. The four were supposed to together to get Germany back on its three Western don't want the allies feet economically and politically. done. But, generally, the idea is to This is how: let the Germans run themselves as By getting trade, business and jobs much as possible.

Instead of There are 47,000,000 Germans in the working together economically, the three Western zones, 17,000,000 in zones were working separately, with trade barriers between But this couldn't go on if Germany wAs ever to get back to anything like normal. The US.

and Britain decided to treat their two zones as one, economically. France finally joined them. Russia wouldn't take part al all. But the political bust-up was worse, for Russia and the three Western powers couldn't agree on 'the kind of government Germany should have. Reds Wanted to Set Stage The Russians wanted a strong.

highly centralized government. Such a government could hold all Germany in a tight grip, controlling education and information and even have a secret police. Under that kind of government the Communists one day might be able to grab control of the whole country. The Western powers wanted a not-too-centralized goverminent for! all Germany, made up of 16 separate states, each with its own legislature and keeping strong powers, although there's to be one congress, on parliament, for all. That kind of government would be something like the United States'.

Communists would have a tougher time getting control of that. The Russians and the Western powers couldn't agree. So early last year the Western powers set in motion the machinery for creating -in their zones of Germany--the kind of government they wanted. They let the Germans in their zones clect representatives to a constituent assembly. It's the job of that assembly to draw up a constitutior.

for government covering the three Western zones. But there were a number of details on which the U.S., Britain and France couldn't agree. They've been trying to reach agreement for many months. week they've agreed. They'll let the new Germany government be created.

Each of the three, for in its own zone of Germany. some time, at least, will keep troops They'll be able to stop the new government from doing anything the Russian zone. Since the Western Allies are setting up a government run by Germans in their part of Germany, the Russians probably will set up A11- other government ruti by other Germans in their part of Germany. Thus Germany would be split in two, with the Russians making sure they dominated the Germans 111 their zone of Germany, the Western allies making sure their Germans were tiea in with them.
