GERMANS' CONDUCT
ABOVE EXPECTATIONS FOOD RATIONS STABLE BERLIN, Jan. 29. The Germans are becoming more outspoken in their criticism of Allied policies but the behaviour thus far this winter is better than expected, said the commander of the American zone, General McNarney, in his monthly report. Ho believed that the ability of the authorities to maintain basic food rations at an adequate minimum level was at least, in part, responsible for the continued absence of unrest. Moreover, the exceptionally mild weather had enabled the authorities to check epidemics. The Germans, after five months’ occupation, were making progress in grasping the ideals of democracy. General McNarney recommended urgent inter-governmental action to take 250,000 Stateless displaced persons off American hands. Nearly 600,000 of the grand total of 900,000 displaced persons, who were in the British. American and French zones at the end of 1945, were Poles, many of whom were disinclined to return to Poland, as they were assured of adequate care and food in the camps for displaced persons.
