The Chargé in Yugoslavia (Cabot) to the Secretary of State

727. Embassy received today following note in translation No. 411556 June 27 from Foreign Office:

“Govt FPRY has been informed organs of Anglo-American Military Administration for zone A, have begun work of delimiting frontier between FPRY and FTT and likewise of establishing frontier lines.

FPRY protests this unilateral procedure which is in complete contradiction with peace treaty with Italy and with the agreement for the provisional delimitation frontiers between FPRY and FTT, an agreement the initiative for which came precisely from the US, Great Britain and France.

In disapproving this unilateral measure the govt FPRY asks that the work touching upon this arbitrary delimitation of frontier be immediately stopped and declares it will take no account of any work which has been done without its participation.”

Sent Dept as 727, repeated Rome 69.
