POST-WAR GERMANY

ALLIED SPLIT OVER PLAN

Rec. 12.30 p.m. WASHINGTON, Sep 26. Asked to comment on the Associated Press statement that President Roosevelt's Cabinet had split over Mr. Morgenthau's proposal 'that Germany be transformed into an agricultural nation, the Secretary of State, Mr. Corjdell Hull, indicated io a Press conference that Britain and America had not yet reached^ a mutual understanding on the method of controlling Germany after the war. Mr. Hull said that it would serve no purpose to say more at present, except that he hoped the higher officials of the Governments concerned, would reach an understanding at an early stage. Mr. Hull added a word. of caution that it was very necessary to wait until it was known what conclusions had been reached by the British and Russian Governments. The Associated Press points out that Mr. Hull studiously avoided any denial of the reported Cabinet split. The United Press correspondent says that Mr. Hxill's attitude appeared to verify earlier reports that the United States Government was still somewhat in the dark regarding the Russians' ideas of controlling Germany.
