The Ambassador in the United Kingdom (Winant) to the Secretary of State
[Received 9:34 p.m.]
719. This is Delsec 144 from Dunn1 for Matthews2 Radius3 and Collado.4 US draft directives on satellite treaties submitted at September CFM (Conference of Foreign Ministers) meeting proposed that international agreements for control of the Danube should be confirmed by the peace treaties. Reinstein5 informs me no specific proposals have been developed in the Dept because of uncertainty as to whether waterways question was discussed at Moscow conference.6 I understand the matter was not discussed. I should appreciate receiving as soon as possible Dept suggestions as to specific proposal which delegation should put forward on the Danube in the treaty discussions. We will also need to have specific suggestion regarding free port facilities for Bulgaria on the Aegean (see Reinstein’s memo of December 29 to Radius7). [Dunn.]
