Germans To Rule
Germany Under
Allied Supervision
LONDON, May 16—<>tR)— Win
ston Churchill declared in general
It is the Allied intention “the Ger
mans should administer their
country in obedience to Allied di
rection.” T.»e Allies “have no in
tention of undertaking the burden
of administering Germany them
selves.”
He appeared before Commons
against a background of demands
voiced from many quarters for
the Allies to disclose the exact
role of the regime of Doenitz, but
Churchill would make no direct
mention of Doenitz.
Weighing his words carefully,
Churchill said he wanted time to
cast the form of his reply before
answering one member’s question
as to what “authority there was
which the purported broadcast
from Flensburg in the name of
a government alleged to be led by
Doenitz?’’
■ ■ ■
“I|m not sure whether any ma- j
| chinery of government, whether
.central or regional, can be said to
{exist at present in Germany. In
'any case I prefer in replying to
1 this question to speak of admin
istration rather than govern
ment”
Just before going to Commons
Churchill conferred with Generals
Eisenhower, Montgomery and
Bradley and some of the British
press, who wrote that the meeting
related directly to administering
Germany and dealing with war
criminals and the handling of dis
i placed persons.

Approximately eight hundred

these proceedings are served on
