The six powers promised that western allied troops would remain in Germany "until the peace of Europe is secured" and agreed on internationalization of the industrial Ruhr and steps preclude Germany ever aVain becoming an aggressive nation. The scheme was attacked immediately by the French pre3 and moderate Germans. French Aroused Reaction against the agreement was so strong in France, where both left-wingers and the right-wing forces of Gen. Charles de Gaulle opposed it, that many observers believe it might result in the fall of Premier Robert Schuman's Centerist government.

I. governors sent copies of the communique to The agreement, still to formal approval of the six governments, recommended a rigid system of inspection of German military activities and predicted the new federated Germany would play an important part in the Marshall Plan for Western European recovery. It called for the six powers and Germany to control the Ruhr a departure from the previous stand of France and th Benelux countries that the Ruhr he separated, from Germany. Rather than break up Germany, the joint communique said, the six-power agreement "should facilitate eventual four-power agreement" with Russia on Germany's unification. However, the Soviet government was expected to protest and Communists and some moderates in both France and Germany immediately registered disapproval.

Red Area Reaction The first reaction from behind the iron curtain came from the "German People's Council'' in the Soviet sector of Berlin. It said the six-power agreement was "the last step in Germany's dismemberment." The Council, composed of top German Communists, attacked the western powers for failing to give German leaders or the German people any say in derisions so vital to their future. This argument was winning increasing support from Germany's nationalist-minded millions who fear their country might be divided. De Gaulle Protest The U.S. and British governments, it was understood here, have already given tacit approval to the agreement and the Benelux nations were expected to go along, France, however, remained a question mark.
