Molotov Makes Savage Attack 0n Western Powers

By Wee Gallagher

Moscow, March r1 _-(A1>>__ Foreign Minister Molotov of Russia. in a savage attack on the western powers, denmnded to. night that, the foreign ministers devise R 30-year plan under which Germany would pgy p10,. 000.000.1100 1n reparations to Russia.

Molotovb demands, which ex- ceeded by far the expectations of even the most pessimistic western observers, included s proposal that reparations be paid from current German pro- duction. '

Taking sharp issue with the Russian diplomat, State Secre- tary Marshall of the United Stat- es informed him that Germany must be made self-sufficient be- fore reparations are skimmed from production.

"We cannot accept a unified Germany. under a procedure which would in effect mean that the American people would pay

separations to an ally." said Marshall. Molotov’: charges that the

western powers htad violated re- puatedly economic agreements reached at Potsdam and Yalta also dzrcwe sharp rebuke from Marshall.

Mdlcvtov‘: Deuunds

Molotovls sweeping dctrrvattds. delivered as the four-power con- ference went into lts second week. included: ‘

1.. Reparations ‘from cur- rent German production, by the removal of capital goods sulfa as factories. and by a division of foreign German assets.

2. Immediate cancellation of the economic merger of the British and United States zones of Germany.

3. Four-power control of the industrially-rich Rtuhr. now in the British lone.

4. Raising of the German level of industry to 11,000,000 tons of steel a year, so that the output could be used for reparations.

5. Creation of central agencies in Germany to ad- minister the reparations pro- gram.

5, Measures to increase German exports. improve her financial and currency 'con- ditlons, and place control of cartels and trusts under the state.
