276 Vida István precludes Hungary from making an agreement at this time. Although US Govt does not make conclusion such an agreement a condition to return of displaced Hungarian property and gold it nevertheless attaches great importance to conclusion such an agreement. 4. Surplus Property. US Govt is prepared to consider sympathetically request of Hungarian Govt for increase in existing credit to Hungary for purchase of surplus property. However before pursuing matter further it is necessary to determine whether in view recently concluded bulk sales surplus property in Europe there would in fact be sufficient surplus still available to utilize an increase in credit. Appropriate authorities US Govt arc proceeding promptly with necessary investigation and will communicate further with Hungarian Govt when results become known. 5. Information Concerning Economic Conditions in Hungary. US Govt has repeatedly asked Hungarian Govt to furnish comprehensive information concerning all aspects Hungarian economic conditions and commercial relations. Hungarian Govt states regulations of Allied Control Commission prevent its compliance with US request for such information. US Govt wishes emphasize again that access to information this character would facilitate consideration by US Govt of Hungarian request for substance. End Summary Memorandum.

n W. A. Harriman londoni amerikai nagykövet távirata Acheson ügyvezető amerikai külügyminiszternek Nagy Ferenc miniszterelnök. Gyöngyösi János külügyminiszter és Bedé István követ látogatásáról a londoni amerikai nagykövetségen. SECRET (Received June 22-9:56 a.m.) 6229. Hungarian Prime Minister Nagy, accompanied by Foreign Minister Gyöngyösi and M. Steven Bedc, Hungarian political representative in London, called on me at the Embassy this morning. Nagy expressed satisfaction over his visit to Washington and admiration for what he had seen in the United State. In response to a question from me the Prime Minister particularly emphasized the freedom enjoyed by the people of the United States which he said he regarded as the basis of our strength. He had very much in his mind the question of the settlement of Hungarian boundaries, and said he hoped to have an opportunity to discuss this subject with the Foreign Ministers when he reaches Paris. In answer to his question I told Nagy that I thought his idea of calling on M. Molotov first was right and assured him that Mr. Byrnes would not think it amiss even though he had just been his guest in the United States. The Prime Minister stayed for over an hour and talked very frankly about his problems and the dictatorial conditions in Rumania. Nagy expressed the hope that the United States would continue to take an interest in the Open Door Policy in the Danube Basin and in the political and economic reconstruction of that area. Prime Minister and his party are leaving for Paris this afternoon. Repeated to Paris for the Secretary as No. 474. HARRIMAN NA. Dept. of State, Decimal File, 71164 j62246.
