COMMENT ON GERMAN CHARGES LONDON, Aug. 19. “German leaders for political reasons have distorted the facts about the justice and injustices of dismantling German properties,” says the ‘‘Manchester Guardian.” “Britain lias been no more than an executive agent for her allies in carrying out many dismantling jobs. Just because most of Germany’s heavy industries lie in the British zone the British Military Government has been obliged to do more dismantling on behalf of the Allies than any other occupying Power. “The Allies, nevertheless, ought. to consider whether Western Germany would not be a more contented and diligent partner if the dismantling programme were revised.”
