PRODUCTION IN EAST GERMANY
AMOUNT TAKEN BY RUSSIA LONDON, (March 15. The Berlin correspondent of the Associated Press says that Allied economists estimate that Russia makes a profit of about £178,500,000 a year from the cold war in Germany. Untrammeled by four-Power restrictions she takes the profit in the form of current production from industries in the Eastern zone, which is labelled as reparations.

In addition the Kremlin physically owns 30 per cent, of East German factories as Soviet stock com* panies.
