Allies Get
Slice Of Germany
PARIS, {JP) — The French for
eign office announced Saturday
that 12 square miles will be sliced
off of Germany and switched to1
France, Belgium, the Netherlands |
and Luxembourg.
In all, 31 localities having 13,500
persons are involved in the border
realignment. The change is being
made on a provisional basis.
! Permanence of the change will
depend on an eventual peace
treaty with Germany. The allies
signed peace treaties with Bul
garia, Romania, Yugoslavia, Italy
and Finland in 1946. The east and
west have failed to agree on terms
for Germany, Austria and Japan.
Germans reacted bitterly. The
state cabinet of North Rhine
Westphalia said the decision vio
lated the Atlantic Charter and in
i ternational law.
“No force can tear apart the
union” between Germans in the
affected border areas and the
other German people, the cabinet
said in Frankfurt. The action
brought forth some of the most
violent German denunciations of
the western allies since the war.
Germans in the sections being
switched to French, Belgian, Dutch
or Luxembougr control have been
offered the opportunity of moving
their families and belongings to
points which will remain inside
Germany,
The French communique said:
“The German frontier problem
will be taken up again and de
cided definitely and decided in its
entirety when final peace is con
cluded. . . .
I “The territories subject to ad
justment will be placed under
the Territorial jurisdiction of the
: neighboring countries of Ger
many. These adjustments can be
confirmed or modified by the
terms of the final German peace
! treaty.”
