4 Report no. 17 (14 Jan 1946), in: Cantril, H.; Strunk, M., l.c., p. 269. See also
report no. 19 of that day according to which 59 per cent thought that a central
government should be set up for all four zones of Germany and survey results
no. 24 and 25 (25 July 1946) which revealed that most respondents in the
American zone (31 per cent) favoured a strong central government directing
the zone from Berlin; cf. Ibid., pp. 269 f. Indeed, these responses must be
seen in connection with the general wish for German political unification;
however, the priority was given to economic unity (63 per cent); cf. report no.
