Snags Ahead Department

WONDER whether in all the vast labyrinth of Whitehall there is anything like a "Snaga Ahead Department."

What I am thinking of is a small, brains trust of officials to whom nothing in the whole of our Govern- ment machinery, whother open or secret, would be Inaccessible.

The Prime Minister, tipped off by his "Snags Ahead" team, could, for instance, turn to a surprised and perhaps Indignant Mr. Bevin and say: "Ernie, my boy, are your chaps in Germany all set for the new Govern- ment? Have they got everything ready to deal with the new situation this will create ?"

Such a question would be very much to the point. On August 14, the Western zones of Germany will bo holding a General Election. Shortly after that m West German Government will be constituted. To that Government will pass the authority on internal German legislation and administration now still held by the Allied occupiers.

From September, at the latest, the Allies in West Germany will have nothing more than veto powers. They will not want to use these if they can help it. It is essential, therefore, that any legislation to which the Western Allies attach vital importance should be put through immediately.
