5. The new provisions in the War Criminals Contract necessitate a slight addition to the Convention on General Relations. This is required because the continuance of our responsibility for the custody of war criminals after the conclusion of the contract must derive from our supreme authority. It is therefore proposed to insert into the Agreement on General Relations the passage attached as Annex B. This draft speaks of a "transitional period". As such, it should not meet with objection. The Article of the Agreement on General Relations, which defines the extent of the supreme authority which the Three Powers will retain, thus remains unaltered.
