Kritik eines US-Sozialisten –
Gegen Churchills Bluffpolitik
Genf, 14. April –
Der Führer der Sozialisten in USA, Norman Thomas, hat, wie Daily Telegraph meldet, ein neues Buch geschrieben, in dem er die englische Arbeiterpartei und Winston Churchill scharf angreift. Thomas bezeichnet die englischen Versprechen, den Indern die Selbstverwaltung zu gewähren, sobald sich die indischen Parteien einigten, als Bluff, wenn nicht als glatte Heuchelei. Er wendet sich gegen Churchill wegen dessen offensichtlicher Politik, „das herrschende Empire zu retten, gleichgültig wie viele alliierten Länder dabei draufgehen.“ England, so sagt er in dem Buch, das den Titel trägt: Was ist unser Schicksal? habe zwar manche Erfahrungen in der Verwaltung des Empire, aber nach dem Kriege werde es in allen wesentlichen Fragen weit hinter den USA zurückstehen.

U.S. to occupy Southwest –
Spheres of control in post-war Germany drafted by ‘Big Three’
Eisenhower gets unprecedented authority over Europe in allied armistice plan
By John A. Parris, United Press staff writer
London, England –
Allied Advisory Commission plans for governing Germany under the post-war armistice were understood today to call for U.S. occupation of Bavaria, Wurttemberg and Saxony, comprising most of the Southwest Reich.
The framework of a strict Anglo-American-Russian military government for Germany after the defeat of the Nazis were understood to be almost complete after each of the Big Three had submitted proposals calculated to give Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower unprecedented authority over Europe.
Under the proposed plans, it was understood, Russia would occupy Germany up to the Oder, running through Silesia and to the North Sea at Stettin, while Britain would take over Northwest Germany.
All three Allied powers would participate in the occupation of Berlin, reliable reports of the planning by the Advisory Commission said.
The Rhineland would be under joint occupation by the United States and Britain.
The British proposals were understood to have suggested that the Americans occupy Austria, but Russia was said to have favored a three-way occupation.
The first suggestions to the Advisory Committee from Russia, Britain and the United States were submitted a month ago.
The first drafts of the British and Russian suggestions were understood to have been made, followed within a few days by those from the United States.
