SOVIET DRAFT OF
FOR GERMANY
London, Apr. 15.
The Soviet draft for a treaty for the de-militarisa- tion of Germany and the prevention of Ger- man aggression in future, proposed by the Soviet delegation to the Council of Foreign Ministers, was broadcast by Moscow Radio tonight.
The preamble to the draft treaty said that in 1945 the Governments of the United States, Russia, Britain and France declared their intention to carry out complete disarmament and de-mili- tarisation of Germany, and that this has al- ready been done in a significant degree. "Nothing can prevent or hold up the comple-. tion of this matter."
The preamble continued: "It is rather than amended by the S mperative that Germany shouldviet Foreign Omce. ever again threaten her neigh- bours."
proposals, the Among other Soviet draft suggests:
1. The German General Staff and Headquarters of all military and semi-military organisations be disbanded and cease to exist and their re-establishment in any
rm will not be permitted. 2. No military or semi-military form or in organisations in any
Esquire will be permitted to exist a Germany.
Article 1 of the draft treaty. which deals with the de-militari- Antion of Germany is substantial. ly the same in both the Soviet and United States versions.
3.
Articles 2, 3, 4 and 5 of the Soviet draft are, however, com- plete additions to the treaty as proposed by the United States. In the Soviet draft, Article 2 pro- vides for the destruction of Cer.. man military equipment and the prevention of the use of factories and laboratories_fer warlike pur-
