The Secretary of State to the Hungarian Chargé ( Pelényi )
Sir: I have the honor to refer to your note of June 26, 1928, in relation to your desire to obtain further information in regard to the construction placed by the Alien Property Custodian upon Subsection (d) of Section 25 of the “Settlement of War Claims Act of 1928” and with regard to certain other matters and to inform you that the Alien Property Custodian has advised the Department that property held by his office to the credit of Hungarian citizens will not be credited to the German Government and that there is no time limit in which to file a claim for a Hungarian citizen.
With reference to the other questions raised, the Alien Property Custodian informs the Department that he will be glad to furnish to the Hungarian Government a list of persons for whom his office holds assets and the amounts thereof when the release of Hungarian property is begun, but at the present time his office does not have a sufficient force to give the matter appropriate attention.
Accept [etc.]
