§ 102. Mr. T. Reidasked the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if, in view of the fact that provisions for U.S. and British forces in Germany are paid for and imported into Germany by the U.S. and British Governments, he will press for an arrangement whereby this burden on the two Governments could be greatly decreased by all occupation forces being similarly provided for, leaving local food supplies available for the German people.
§ Mr. J. HyndI should welcome such an arrangement; but unless it were accompanied by an agreement to pool the food resources of Germany as a whole, the cost of occupation of the British and United States zones would not be reduced.
