FATE OF GERMANY
,TERMS OF SURRENDER COMPLETE DEMOBILISATION (Rec. 10 p.m.) WASHINGTON, June 12. “With the in.vasion .well under way Allied .diplomats are drawing up surrender and occupation terms, which are believed to call for the complete industrial demobilisation of Germany,” says the Associated Press. “ The present plans envisage two .contingencies, first, surrender by a military or Government command capable of halting resistance on all fronts; secondly, a piecemeal breakdown by losing territories and armies ifi a prolonged retreat.
“ Full Allied military control will apply to Germany for a certain time after surrender, with the British, American, and Russian commands each occupying approximately cne-third of Germany' and subject to directives from a joint military commission established in Berlin, which will be jointly occupied. The occupation authorities will root cut Nazi adherents from all positions of power and influence and strip the country of its industrial resources capable of armament manufacture, but factories capable of conversion to peace-time production will probably be converted to this objective.”
