DIVISION OF GERMANY
AUTONOMOUS STATES PRINCIPLE
BRITISH AND U.S. ATTITUDE (N.Z. Frees Association—Copyright) (Rec. 9.45 pm.) NEW YORK. June 8. “Britain and America have agreed in principle to encourage the division of Germany into 11 or 12 loosely joined, but virtually autonomous States, as Originally proposed by America at Potsdam last year." says the Washington correspondent of the .“New York Times." (The proposal to extend the plan to the eastern zone will be submitted to Russia and France at the Big Four meetings in Paris next week. “It is not intended that Germany should be dismembered, but that the authority of the provincial German Governments should be built up during the occupation in order that they should have a vested interest in retaining their autonomy and opposing a strong central German Government. Belgium, Holland and Luxemburg are reported to be in general agreement.”
