RUSSIAN POLICY
TAKING GERMAN MACHINES
LONDON, September 4. A message from Berlin says that commissions from Moscow are still removing machinery from German factories to replace shattered. Russian machinery in spite of efforts by local administrative officers to oppose .them. There seems little chance of rebuilding- German industry in the east until Moscow orders all such' appropriations to cease. The Russians have established 11 centralised departments, or ghcst Ministries, in Berlin through which the whole of the Russian occupied zone in Germany is to •be governed. The headquarters will be in Goering's former huge ' Ministry at the corner of the Wilhelmstrasse and Leipsigerstrasse. Marshal Zhukov has appointed the members of the new "shadow Government," the Cabinet of which has so far only met informally. The Government is strongly Communistic and Socialistic, but it is noticeable that none of the really big political leaders, such as the Communist chiefs Wilhelm Pieck and Hans Ulbricht, are included.
