Mr. McNeil:

After the Crimea Conference a communiqué was issued summarising the results of the discussions. The communiqué included a short statement that Germany should be obliged to make compensation for damage caused to the Allied nations in the war. A protocol was agreed to amplify this decision. I am now arranging for a copy of the whole agreement reached at the Crimea Conference, including this protocol, to be published as a White Paper. I am also arranging for the publication as a White Paper of the complete text of the agreement reached at the Potsdam Conference.
