payment of reparations to the countries that suffered
German occupation. As a result of the Anglo-American
postwar policy, the British and American zones of occu-
pation in Germany have been merged into a jointly admin-
istered bizonal territory, which has come to be known in
the press as "Bizonia," in order that an Anglo-American
policy may be pursued there unilaterally, and independ-
ently of the Control Council, on which all the four oc-
cupying Powers are represented. Virtually speaking, our
representatives in Germany now deal solely with the So-
viet zone. A situation has arisen which cannot but cause
uneasiness to the German people as well, since as a result
of the Anglo-American policy there is ''Bizonia" and there
are other zones, but there is no Germany as an integral
German State. The Soviet Union considers that the deci-
sions of the Yalta and Potsdam conferences on the German
question, which envisage the restoration of Germany as an
integral, democratic state, must be put into effect. It is
fully realized in the Soviet Union that "Bizonia'9 is not
Germany, and that the German people have a right to
their own state, which must, of course, be democratic,
and must not create a threat of new aggression to other,
peaceable states. There is today an Anglo-American plan
to pacify the population of the Anglo-American zone of
Germany by throwing them a few sops, to rely upon the
former German capitalists who but so recently were sup-
porting Hitler, and with their help to utilize "Bizonia,"
with its Ruhr industrial region, as a threat to those coun-
tries which do not display slavish subsenience to the Anglo-
American plan to dominate Europe. But these adventurous
plans regarding Germany can lead to no good, and will
of course be rejected by democratic Europe,
This example of Germany shows how far the present
principles of Britain and America diverge from those of
