Paris Peace Conf. 181.9202/224: Telegram

General Bandholtz to the Commission to Negotiate Peace

187. It is requested that the following telegram be forwarded to the Supreme Council:

Peace Conference, Paris. Number 775, double priority. This Mission is aware that a telegram has been received in Budapest from Paris covering three points.68 First the Friedrich Cabinet, second the immediate Roumanian evacuation and third the occupation of Hungary by two divisions under Interallied officers, one division of Czechoslovaks and one division of Jugoslavs. Against this third proposition the Interallied Military Mission unanimous[ly] and urgently protests. Such procedure it is believed would stir Hungary into revolution and would destroy all prospects for an early solution of the Hungarian question. It is further urged that the Roumanians, the Jugoslavs and the Czechoslovaks be all required to retire at once behind their respective lines of demarcation. (Signed) Interallied Military Mission.
