Editorial Note
On August 13, the American Legation addressed a note to the Hungarian Foreign Ministry protesting the Hungarian Government’s denial of responsibility in regard to restitution of American-owned property illegally transferred by it to the Soviet Government as “German assets”. The Hungarian disclaimer of responsibility had been contained in a note verbale of July 24 to the American Legation. The texts of these communications were transmitted to the Department as enclosures to despatch 317, April 8, 1948, from Budapest, none printed (364.115/4–848).
