The Taval Attache stated it was po~sible to get the infantry for some 30 divisions from German manpower, that we could support them with artillery¢ '!here seems to be little agreement bet.ween British and French There is also agreement that the Germans will fight com·runism and they do r ot wish a police state. They are interec::ted in lmoving if they will be armed, and when this decision is made, who will supply their arms. Becau e of their heavy industry> this is a most important ue tion.

"The Council again took note of the fact that the new Denazification Law had not yet been reported out of the Legal Directorate and decided that the High Commissioners would exert pressure on their subordinates with the view to a~)suring consideration of the law by the Council at its next meeting on 29 IJovember . In response to a statewent by the French High Commissioner, the Council took action to have both the Austrian Government and the Internal ffairs Directorate study measures designed to correct current deficiencies in the issuance of passports and visas to Austrians desiring to travel beyond the Austrian frontier;. u. letter from the Fed Chancellor in ·nhich was set out the estj_mated Aus trade balance for 1947 was referred to the Econo~ic Directorate for more detailed study, with the understanding that any High Commissioner who so desired would inform his Govt of this estimate of us needs . 11 The new 1550 calorie food ration and the general food problem were discussed et length as a result of the c.. uestion being raised by the Sov member .

General Clark sent the following message to Joint Clliefs cf pass to State De partment , s-"C P.ET, P- 6174: taff , t1S,inc e my return here it has become increasingly evident that the Soviets do not intend to allow indigenous food products to 1 ove from their Zone to other parts of -vstria witho11t compensating imports from the other �( zones, nor is there any indication that the Soviets intend to allow the Austrian Goverl'1...r1ent to have any control of the distribution of foodstuffs grovm on lands which the Soviets have seized under their interpretatic n of the otsdam Agreement . u:1J.ore than a month ago the .Austrian Government sent a letter to the Soviet Commander asking if the Government would be given control over crops raised on seized land . To date no reply to this inquiry has been received and the Government has been unable to take any action toward distribution on f ood harvested on these lands . "On 4 Oct the Sov Command issued an order to the La~d Governors of Lower .Austria and Burgenland which contains the following: 0 Any exportation of agricu=-. tural and :i.r.dustrial products, raw materials, and other materials will only __,e carried out with ye ur knowledge· and if authorized by the Sov Commander- in- Chief through the Economics Division of the Sov Element of the lied Commission for ustria . · "'This rdnance applies above all to foodstuffs but also to.all kinds of raw r.iaterials and finished products of your land . 1 "On 4 Nov the Sov Command issued a second order concerning the movement of potatoes into Vienna . This order directed that potatoes moved into the city from the 8-ov Zone be distributed only .in the Sov Bezirke . It remains to be seen if this order is to be implemented . "On 5 fov and 15 l:Tov I had a talk with the Sov Commander on this subject . It was clear from this discussion that the Sovs do not intend to authorize any shipments of indigenous food to the other zones if such shipments will lower the ration in the Sov Zone. If any food is shipped to the other zones they insist u1-;on compensating importts of other food items. The reason for this action is to protect the living standard of the peoplo. in the i-JOV Zone . It was brought 01t in our discussion that the ovs do not intend to import any food from Rtmsia . It was claimed that Russia does not have enough food for its own people . "I am confident that Cov control over indigenous food in their Zone will become rwre and nore rigid as the winter progresses , and that they intend to ignore any ustr · an Govt food distribution plan vJhich requires otitshipments to other zones without compensating imports . The effect of this will be to require direct negotiations between the Sovs and the other Zone Commanders on a barter basis, with the us Govt . bypassed . The Sov Commander frankly stated that they were taking this course of action to protect against the situation which prevailed last winter, when the three Western Zones were better fed than the S.ov Zone . 11 "GLRR food st-;.pplies are still being distributed in the Sov Zone . It is tco late to take any action to cut off the Sov Zone from the benefits of mm.RA supplies for the current ration period which ends on 8 December , as available supplies have been distributed to all zones . Furthermore , U1? relief ends en 31 December . 1 ' Since the addl 60 , OOO tons of nat pr ocured by Ul1R1 was ob-tained only because the ,;ar Lept reduced its bill for supplies furnished from ;ulitary ctock.s , it, is recommended thrtt this wheat not repeat not be shipped as an UNRR supply , but instead be shipped to me as a military supply in addition to the supi~·lies I will need for my zone . If this is done I pl~n to use this as a weapon against tne ovs to force them to break down zonal control and to put more food into Vienna . This wheat is needed in the S-ov Zone to come anyv here near feeding the new 1550 ration scale . O ( �[ "It is obvious that the Sovs are using food as a political weapcn . supplies only aid them in this reg""rd . Our position will be stronger if we retain control of the 60 , 000 tons addl wheat ,, Early consideration of this proposal is requested . HRelated subject . In my zone it is estimated t hat about 800 calories daily per person is available from indigenous production . I am watchine: the situation to see thc:it as a result of the recent Sov controls over indigenous food in their zone, the us Govt does not make excessive shipments out of ny zone into the Brit and French zones to meet deficits. Principle shortages in my zone to provide the current 1550 ration scale are wheat , pulses and sugar . If Ul 1 supplies contim.:e to arrive thru 31 Dec I can get by· until then . ter that date I must rely upon CA/, JG stocks which have been called forward for Jan and Feb . It is therefore urgent that my military pipline be reestablished before 31 Dec.

' ( General Clark sent the following message to Joint Chiefs of Staff, pass to State Department, S~RET, P•63ll: ".At its meeting on 29 November 1946 the Allied Council for Austria considered aid rejected appeals lodged by the Aus Ministry of Justice on behalf of two Aus judges who had been members of Nazi organizations during the German occupation; noted a statement by the chairman on the progress of the Aus Denazification Law in the quadripartite Legal D-irectorate; and approved action taken by the Exec Committee since the last AC meeting, incl uding extension of authority to the Aus Gov to issue diplomatic and transit viaas to certain categories of individuals, approval of a number of non-constitutional laws, am recommendations to the Jlus Gov as to the steps that should be taken to decrease the Fed Budget during the remainder of the present fiscal year and for the fiscal year 1947. "At the begiDning of the meeting the Political Representative of the Republic of Chile, Signor Martin Figueroa, was presented to the Council. "The most important question under consideration at this meeting was that of the food situation in Austria. Because of the fact that the solution to this problem had not been resolved in the several formal quadripartite meetings held on this subject, it was decided to adjourn the Council meeting and hold an informal meeting of the four Al- . lied Commanders-in-Chief. At this inf'ormal session, I presented a resolution calling for the establishment of an advisory food board, consisting of reps of each of the occupying powers, UNRRA and the Aus Gov. This board, in cooperation with the Federal Food Ministry, would prepare the monthly food plan which would be submitted to the �53 for approval prior to the period covered therebyJ insure proper utilization of indigenous food in accordance with the food plan; and _recommend to the Allied C,ouncil any changes in the .ilus ration between now and the next harvest. My resolution also called for agreements that all indigenous and all ilnported food will be pooled and made available for use throughout all of Austria on a monthly basis and that each Al• lied occupying power will allow the Aus Gov to move foodstocks without restrictions, all in accordance with the approved monthly food plans. "As pointed out in previous messages from me, Sov interferences with the free movement of food products by the J!us Gov has been the greatest obstacle to the successful eareying out of a satisfactory food program. On the other hand, the Sovs excuse this action on their part on the grounds that their zone is being discriminated against in the matter of food imports from other zones, which is not· correct. My resolution was designed to settle these controversial questions once and for all~ The Brit atrl French High Commanders generally agreed to my proposals. The Sov acting High Commissioner, after considerable argument, agreed that the Council should meet at an extraordinary session on 3 December in an effort to settle food question. I hope that the pres• sure which I }lave been applying on the Sovs may induce tnem to get in line with the other occupying powers and may result in a general improve• ment in the food si tuation, both currently and in the post-UNRRA Period. "It i s therefore essential that my mil pipeline be filled up as planned by the War Dept and also that the 6o,OOO tons of wheat purchased with War Dept funds by UNRRA for the Aus account be redirected into my control. I have already recomme:r.rled this last measure. Only by having a large reserve can I force the Sovs into s haring the burden of feeding Vien~a. I feel that I can do this, even if I have to barter directly with the Sovs, and thus «\Vert a serious situation in Vienna am avoid t he terrific embarrassment wh1ch will come to both the US Element and the A.us Gov if we cannot continue to feed the population.

During the afternoon he ~eviewed official documents in his office at the vil la and in the evening had dinner with hiS family. General Clark sent the following message to Joint Chiefs of Staff pass to State Department, SIOORET, P-6342: ( "At an extraordinary session of the .1.Allied C.o uncil 3 December, two subjects were discussed: (1) Occupation costs and (2) Austri~n food supply. "Allied Council agreed on occupation costs for current quarter ending 31 December and for f'irst quarter 1947. For current quarter agreed on 25% of A.ustrian civil budget (187.5 million Schillings) with Sovs receiving 112.5 million and each other element receiving 25 million Schillings. Larger proportion given to Sov Element because of contemplated redeployment substantial S.ov Forces in near future. F'ar be it from me to interfere with the withdrawal of Sov Troops from Aus. For first quarter 1947 occupation costs to be 15% of Aus budget (131.3 million Schillings) with Sov Element reeeiving 4U million and each other element receiving 30.4 million. In connection with discussions in Al.lied Council this subject see my message P-634,0. "The food situation in Austria has been critical for some time as reported in my several messages sent during the past month. Most of the time con~umed in the extraordinary meeting was devoted to a full discussion of this subject. · · "It has been my desire from the outset to treat Austria as a unit, particularly with reference to food. With UNRRA injected into the picture, with only partial means of providing the pr esent 1550 ealorie ration scale, and with the only other resource being indigenous food, it is essential that al l cormnanders permit the Aus Gov cQmplete freedom in moving indigenous supplies . from one zone to another in order to carry out food plans drawn up by the Gov in conjunction with UNRRA. The Sovs in the .AC have repeatedly gone on record in agreeing to allow the Austrians to move indigenous supplies other t han oil and foodstuffs on land which the Sovs have requisitioned or claimed to be Sov property under Potsdam.Thi s they agreed to as late as the 25th of Oct 1946. However, for the past month the Sovs have imposed increasing restrictions on the movement of indigenous food out of their zone, even though t he food to be moved had been set up in the Aus Gov food plan. "Prior to the regular meeting of the £. on 29 Nov and the extra• �ordinary meeting on 3 Dec, I had several conferences with the other commanders on the subject of the food situation. The Sov Commander admitted to me that he could not permit the Aus Gov to move indigenous food p1~0ducts out of the Sov Zone without restriction. He stated that there was starvation in the Sov Zone last winter and he could not permit this to happen again because of diversion of indigenous food to other zones. He realizes that UNR.R.A is going out of the picture and that he can no longer look to that source for addl supplies to his zone. On the other hand, . he admitted that the Sov Union was j.mporting no food into Aus and that because of food shortages in the Sov Union no imports from that source would be forthcoming in the future. The Brit and French Commanders are greatly concerned over the situation because they have no assurance as yet from their Govs that they can import any food when UNRR.A aid expires. Both the Brit arrl French -zones have very limited indigenous food supplies. These two zones face the most critical condition if Sov restrictions continue to be applied and the Brit and French are unable tu import from outside sources. 0 At the extraordinary meeting on 3 Dec this subj ect was thoroughly aired. The Sovs submitted resolution which embodied many of my proposals made at the regular .AC meeting on 29 Nov but contained a provision to censure the Aus Gov for raising the ration from 1200 calories to 1550 oalo:des. The Sovs. held out strongly for censuring the Aus Gov. Brit, Amer and French elements were as strong in t heir apposition to such a proposal . as it was obvious the Sovs wanted t censure the Gov only for political reasons. The other point of difference in the Sov resolution was not reconciled and .further discussion of the whole matter was deferred until the next regular meeting of the .AC on 13 December. It was agreed, however, that for the next ration period , 9 Dec to 3 Jan each commander would allow the Aus Gov to move indigenous food supplies freely without interference by occupational forces. It remains to be seen how effectively the Sovs will carry out their part of this agreement . The situation after 3 Jan remains to be settled. "In tne discussion which took place at the extraordinary meeting, it became qu:i te clear to me that the Sovs intend to use food as a pol i tical weapon in Aus. The Russian blockade of food shipments has led to serious local accumulati ons and only the mild weather has prevented serious losses frqm frost and exposure. In some districts the storage houses are completely filled and peasants arriving at collection points with grain and potatoes have been sent home with their produce unloaded and mldelivered. This practice must inevitably result in waste and loss of indigenous food. The local Sov and Communist Press continually denounce the Chancellor for rais j_ng the ration and they are quick to publish articles stressing the lack of food in certain areas 'because of government d~stribution inefficiency. So far the Sovs have not interfered with any movements1 of UNRRA supplies. "At the extraordinary meeting I took a strong stand against Sov practice and pointed out to the Sov commander the violation of his many agreements, including t he UNRRA agreement, and that reluctantly I was prepared to undertake Zonal feeding unless the Sovs came into line on a reasonable policy for feeding Aus. The Sov commander knows that I will obtain imports through my mil pipeline and that I will be prepared to meet any threat he might · put up to bring about starvation, particularly in Vienna. I am certain that this fact was the principal reason that he agreed to allow the movement of indigenous food for the next ration a period. - �''This · is an indication that the treat of using my food has produced some results in the solution of the critical food problem in Aus. ThiS has been impossible as long as we were dependent entirely on UNRRA for imports. It is therefore obvious that under present conditions in Aus best results cannot be obtained by using an international organizati on for. pr oviding relief.There are indications in the press that certain nations · and influences are making efforts to retain UNRRA or some other international organization after Jan l, financed primarily by the US, but without power to protect the interests of the US Gov. I am most emphatically opposed to such an organization having any future operations in Aus. I feel that the best interests of the US in Aus can be protected by placing full control of food and other supplies purchased with American funds in the hands o! the US Com,nissioner rather than under the control of any international organization. ~y having complete control of food and other relief supplies furnished by US funds I can insure their best use in the /lus economy and use these resources to force the other powers to contribute a greater share toward the reconstruction of the country. I urge my .Gov to support this view. 11 * I { * * VIE!'\JNA, D~EMBER 7, 1946: General Clark arrived at hJ_s office at 0930 hours. After dictating several letters, General Clark saw 1\/ir.

If no phone connection is possible he will send you summary of Group position by letter. He is very eager to save time however. 11 General Clark sent the following message to General Gruenther in reply to the above telegram:_ "It was my impression that McCarthy group was going to communicate with me as a result of our last conference.

In the afternoon the General had his first experience at skiing and after dinner enjoyed a floor show of local Tyrolean folksongs and dances. General Clark sent the following message to Joint Chiefs of Staff, pass to State Dept, SEX:RET, P-6415; ''Regular session of AC on 1.3 Dec was characterized by an unusual spirit of cooperation and desire to reach unanimous agreement on the three major items which comprised the agenda and by a complete reversal by t he Sov member of the positi ons previously taken by his element on these bghly controversial matters. It was the most successful meeting of the Council in many months, as is evidenced by the fact that a communique .was issued for the first time since 28 June 1946. "On the question of denazificati on of Aus higher institutions of' learning, the Council agreed on a resolution taking cognizance of the action already taken by the Fed Gov and declaring that denazification of such in- �( J ( stitutions was a matter to be carried out by the :B 'ed Gov under supervision of the Allied Commission. The ·council instructed the Internal Affairs and Education Directorates of the Allied Commission to hasten the denazification of faculty members and asked the Fed Gov to submit a report by 15 Feb on the results achieved in the denazification of students under the provisions of a decree promulgated by the Fed Minister of Education on 6 Dec . That part of the original Sov proposal which called for the closing of the institutions until denazification could be completed was not raised again by the Sov member and was not adopted . The Council I s action on this question followed a recent disturbance at the Univ of Vienna in connection with student elections . · "Final agreement was reached on the new ·n enazification Law by the ,A.us Parliament on 24 July and which, for many months , has been the subj act of • much discussion and controversy in the lower echelons of the Allied Commission. A considerable number of amendments, many of which tend to make the law more strict , had already bean agreed by the Exec Com . These were accepted by the Council. Complete agreement was accomplished when allelements adopted a US-proposed provision requiring that implicatedNtzis considered dangerous to the security of' Aus and who might be arrested and confined in detention camps have the ·right to habeas corpus proceedings, hearing before a proper tribunal and other rights guaranteed under existing Aus law. The US High Commissioner had held out alone against a Sov proposal which was supported by the Brit and }'ranch, that would have deprived individuals thrown into detention camps of their personal liberty without the right of trial or judicial hearing. The Denazification Law now goes back to the Aus Gov for implementation of the AC decis i ons . Its promulgation will. constitute a major step toward the completion of denazification in Aus, and, since there was unanimity on the question, should remove one of the Sov objections to the consideration of an Aus peace t reaty. "With respect to the question of food supply in Aus, the long- standing deadlock caused by the uncompromising attitude of the Sovs was finally broken when the Sov member joined with the other three el ements in agreeing a resolution which incl uded substantially all the points which the US High Commissioner has been insisting upon for many months . The resolution provides for a complete pooling of Aus indigenous food resources, with unhampered access to such resources guaranteed to the Fed Gov by all the Occupying Powers. The resolution provides also that food imported from any source will be pooled and placed at the disposal of the Aus Gov for distribution throughout all cf Aus in accordance with monthly food plans formulated by the F'ed Gov and approved by the AC. It was further stipulated that the food ration scale would be uniform throughout Aus so long as the scale remains above 1,200 calories daily, and that' if the scale drops below that figure, the food situation will be reconsider·ed by t h e AC . This provision was proposed by the US High Commissioner but had been heretofore strongly opposed by _the Sovs, Brit and French. As a result of t hese agreements, it is poped that the Aus food problen can now be solved so as to assure a fair and equitable distribution of food throughout al l t he occupation zones and the City of Vienna. The maintenance of a ration scale not only up to the existing 1550 calorie l evel but also higher than a 1200 calorie level is still , however, absolutely dependent on my having control of the 60,000 tons of wheat, as previously pointed out in my cables :Nov P-6174 and. P- 6311 anu Dec P- 6380 .. n * * �KITZB'OHEL, DECEMBER 16, 1946: General Clark awakened late and after breakfast took a long walk with Mrs. Clark.

Elimination these items from program will result in a diet made up largely of wheat , pulses and milk, which cannot be considered satisfactory, particularly in view low calorie diet of Austrians for over one and one half years . "I urge reconsideration this decision and every possible source of supply be explored to provide reqmrements of meat or meat substitutes, sugar and fats . n I SECSTATE sent the following message to Moscow, copy to Vienna, Paris·, #1070: You requested, after consultation your Brit colleague, who instructed take parallel action, deliver note following lines to Sov For Office and press for early reply . "Ref is made to the resolution on post;.UNRRArelief adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on Dec 11 which recognizes that some cd'untries will continue to need assistance after cessation of Ul RRA operations and calls upon members of the United Nations to assist in furnishing relief when and where needed and to coordinate their respective relief programs and activities as far as possible . "The Allied Commission for Aus has in effect recognized that Aus will continue to need a considerable measure of relief . It is evident that there is special need to coordinate relief for Aus in view of fact that this country is still under quadripartite occupation. US Gov therefore approaching all ·o ccupying powers in order to ascertain whether they are prepared to contribute post- U~'RRA relief of Aus . "UK Gov has already indicated willingness to make pounds 10 million . available for such relief . For its part US Gov prepared to make substantial contribution. 11 US, Gov desires to see adoption of relief program for .Aus as a whole . It believes that such a program can be adopted and carried out if all occupying powers agree to make appropriate contributions , to permit the free flow of indigenous and impo:r-ted supplies throughout Aus to abstain from consuming food stuffs needed by Aus people and to create conditions enabling Aus to pay, by maximizing the exportof Aus products, for as large· a portion as pobsible of its import requirements . The US Gov is convinced that such a program will greatly assist in achieving a "free and indeperrlent Aus" and attaining the "economic security" for the Aus people to which the occupying powers pledged themselves in the Moscow Declaration of Nov 111943 . "In this connection US Gov notes with satisfaction Allied Commission for Aus agreed on Dec 13 on fo od distribution plan for Aus as a whole but acknowledged at same time that indigenous food supplies together with assured imports would be insufficient to maintain the present ration in Aus until the 1947 harvest . 11 ( �"The US Gov is therefore confident that the foundation has now been laid for the adoption of a relief import program for Aus as a whole and that the Sov Gov as well as the Govs of other occupying powers will now agree to instruct its authorities in Aus to participate in the formulation and implementation of such a program under the conditions noted above. Since the present UNRRA supply arrangements will be terminated in the near future the US Gov trusts that this matter will receive the urgent attention of m3 Sov Gov . "If For Office objects that UN resolution mentioned above established · special technical committee to study relief import requirements you should stress need to have requirements assessed first by AC on spot which could then inform technical committee.

S~RET, ReferellCe Number P•.3096: •Regular meeting of AC ·on 23 August brought forth agreement on only 1 of 7 items on agenda. Lone agreement was to note action of Exec C,o • on subject Qf minor importance. Discussions of remaining 6 subjects clearly revealed Sov dissatisfaction with manner in which Control .Agreement of 28 June 1946 is working. SoT line of argunent during discussioDS iniicatiw of intention to weaken or nullify effect ot Control Agreement, by e:mrcising former tight control by council and by refusing to abide by acticns of Council, taken in accordame ,with provisions of Control Agreement, whenever such actioDS are not ia accord with Sov proposals. Following is brief summary of positions taken on the controversial subjects: · •(l) Nationalization law: Sow raised _new point that law is con• stitutional (requiring manimous approval ) because it changes economic structure of Aus and reiterated old charg~ tha~ Aus Gov rlolated Articles l{b) and 5 or Control Agreement by passing law. Sow stated they were not against law insofar as it pertained te Aus property but that law could not go inte effect before properties coming umer Articles 5(111) am 5{iv) of Control Agreement were removed from list appended · to law. I rejected these contentions, as did Brit member, aDi s:tated that my position was u . express~ in 9 August Council meeting. Frenca stand was essentially as taken originally. I again emphasized .that root of difficulty lq in lack of umerstanding between ay goT and Sova as to what constitutes German assets am in Sov refusal to agree to dis• cussion this subject. Sov member repeated that he could not discuss this question and, in another attempt to scuttle the law, claimed that Article 12 of Control Agreement.was applicable this case in view disagreement ot Council. I maintained that nothing Article 12 contravened provisions of Article 6(a) and was supported by Brit and French, so last Soy niow was rejected. Agreed by all that further discussion was useless at t.his aeeting. Sov commamer then annotmced that he would address letter to A.us Gov stating ·that iD his zone he would not be bound by provision of Nationalization Law in event of its coming into effect, and this law now will become effective on 9 September 1946. "(2) Rectification of errors in laws: Sovs proposed nullification of two laws considered by LegalDirectorate on July 18 but whi ch came into effect automatically 31 July without having been considered by Exec Comm. Sov element had ample time to raise question within 31-day period but failed to do so. other el ement s were in favor of the laws and rejected Sov proposal on grounds that there was no violation Article 6(a) of Control Agreement alXi Aus Gov should not be penalized because of �failure of procedw'& within Allied Commission. Interesting sidelight is that one of these laws nullified all actions by which Aus property, mostly Jewish, was forcibly taken over by Germans during occupation ot Austria. According to Sov interpretation this constitutes "German assets." 11 (3) Constitution Law Procedure: Discussion revealed Sov desire to fepudiate definition of a constitutional law accepted by the Allied C,ommission.31. May 1946, prior to approval of New Control Agreement. Sov member refused to answer when questioned as to his reason for bringing up this matter after lapse of nearly three months. Other three ele• ments rejected Sov proposal to direct Exec Conun. stu:ly and redefine constitutional laws. "{4) Procedure for Approval. Legislative Measures: Paper disagreed by u.s. am Brit after I forced Sovs into admitting that they wanted no laws to come into effect automatically despite provisions Article b(aJ of Control Agreement. Sov proposal contained tricky clause which would have abrogated that part of Article 6(a) which provides that certain . laws may be considered in effect at em Jl-day period if, J!us Gov has not been informed of unanimous disapproval of' JC. "(5) Austrian Membership in :&EITO:. Only Sovs disagreed to proposal. Their position was same as expressed previously in connection with Aus. membership in International Labor Office and with opening Danube to traffic within boumaries of Aus. Sovs continually oppose any Aus participation in activities which are, or might become, international in character and which would assist Aus to regain normal economic status. "(6) Method of application of Control ·Agreement: Sov proposal was that Agreement could come into effect only by degrees, that. Jlus Mini• sters would be notified as to dates on which they might assume their respective functions and that the several provisions of the Agreement could not come into effect automatically. I sta'ted that this proposal was contrary to Control Agreement and to decision taken by our respectiYe govs, expressed in .µ-ticle 14 of the Agreement. Brit $nd French agreed with me that Sov proposal, if approved, would virtually abrogate the whole Control Agreement.• * * * * VIENNA, AUGUST 25, 1946: General Clark remained at his villa during the morning and at 1300 hours attended a luncheon given by Mr. am Mrs. Erhardt in honor of Ambassador and Mrs. Hornbeck, American kbassador to Hollarn.

I would be delighted i~ you could come and have so informed Gen Lee . My Col Hume is enroute to Italy to make inquiries as to the scope of the affair which I believ_e will not amount to much. However I recommend you attend . We coul d meet in Naples perhaps the day before and go together to the affair which I understand will take place in the morning and culminate with a luncheon .

In the judgment of the United States Government, som,e of the Freischurfe are still the rightful property of Rohoelgewirmungs Ag (RAG) a company incorporated in Austria but owned to t he extent of fifty per cent by the Socony Vacuum Oil C'ompany of New York, an American corporation, while the other' fifty per cent is owned by the Royal Dutch Shell Group of London, a British corporation. UAf'ter obtaining control of Oil Exploration Lands (Freischarfe) of Rohoelgewinnungs AG, the German Government redistributed them to German companies, thus explicitly revealing the intention to i njw:e the n enemy0 (Rohoelgewinnungs AG) . The major part of oil lands in question are located in the Soviet Zone of Occupation, and in due course, German oil companies which obtained title to these lands were seized by Soviet authorities as reparations, and now administered· as Soviet companies . nr, therefore , ask that you acknowledge the American title rights in the lands in question and take the necessary measures to protect the .American interests involved . "Pertintent facts are: "l . The Rohoelge1,rlnnungs .AG is completely owned by United States and British companies . u2 . Even the Germans considered this company to be Allied owned since they placed it under the control of their Enemy Property Custodian. "3. The F'reischurfe rights of this company were taken without compensation under the Nazi- inspired Bitumen Law of August 1938 and are considered to be restitutable on the basis that the United Nations Declaration of 5 January 1943 invalidates such forced transfers . "4 • The local Austrian a thorities protested this forced recall of the Freischurfe without issuing concessions in place thereof . The Reichs Wirtschaftsministerium rules on this protest that it was basic German policy not to grant concessions to Allied companies , but t o �injure ~uch companies as much as poE>sible. Evidence proving this fact is attached hereto . nr suggest early discussions, between qualified Soviet and United States representatives, to resolve any points of uncertainty. For this purpose I have designated my Chief of the Reparations, Deliveries and Restitution Division. 11 I shall appreciate an early reply from you to this letter . " • * /VIE:t-v1a, SEPT [BER 6 1946: General Clark sent the following communication . to Chancellor Figl: "I am obliged to address you as follows regarding. the proposed Nationalization law. "As you know, my Government considers that ·a state should be free to make its own decisions concerning nationalization, including the nationalization of foreign- owned property •within its territory, provided due compensation is paid , and I took the position in the Allied Council that the Nationalization Act should be approved . At the same time my Government · is .opposed to discrimination and. will claim most favored nation treatment in any measures concerning· it, as the Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs was informed by the American Political Representative on 13 August 1946. I feel that the application of Austrian law should be uniform throughout Austria . t11 However , the Soviet Commander has announced that he intended to consider the law invalid in his zone, and would act independently to protect Soviet interests in that zone . He thus makes it impossible to apply the Nationalization Law on a uniform basis of equality . 0 I am therefore obliged, in· view of the action taken by the Soviet Commander, to inform you that I cannot permit any action to be taken wit µ respect to German property in the United States zone under the Nationalization Law pending clarification of the Soviet positi.on. Moreover , since the Soviet Commander apparently intends to prevent any such action with respect to Soviet property as well as German property, I must request you to insure that , for the present, measures are taken to exempt from nationalization those enterprises which are wholly or partly A.merican owned, in particular the Vacuum Oil Company, the Rohoelgevdnnungs A. G. (RAG) and the Oesterreische Mineraloelwerke . 11 With respect to the German property in the United States zone, this action will of course leave t he enterprises equally available to the Austrian economy under the trusteeship by which I have already placed them under Austrian admini stration. With respect to the Americ.an-owned properties, the foregoing is not intended to oppose t he principle of nationalization as such but merely to avoid discrimination and insure the uniform application of Austrian law on a basis of equality . My request is addressed to you solely because of the Soviet High Commissioner's refusal to permit application of the Nationalization Law to all of Austria . ti * * VIENNA, SEPTEMBER, 7 1946: General Clark sent the following communication to Chancellor Figl.: "I am in receipt of your letter of 22 ~ugust 1946 in which you requested me to inform the U.S. Element of the Allied Control Commission for .Germany that the Austrian Government has nominated Mr . Eric Lessner for the position of Austrian Repatriation Commissioner to Berlin. "Please be informed that I have communicated this message to the �proper authorities in Berlin. Immediately upon receipt of a reply I will inform you of their decision. " * * VIENNA, SEPTEMBER 8, 1946: General Clark sent the following message to AGWAR for Joint Chiefs of Staff pass to State Dept, SECRET , P- 3660: ( 0 .As 31-day period approached expiration and Austrian N ationalization law would thus become effective 9 Sep automatically without AC having expressed itself on it, each High Commissioner stood fast on hi s original position already reported . Sov and French High Commi ssioners still maintained Jlus Gov could not nationalize either Al.lied or German property without prior written consent of AC under Art . l( b) of Control ,Agreement. Sov Cor.unissioner had declared his intention to act independ.e ntly under Art 2(d) of Control Agreement to protect Sov interests in his zone . ' Possibility thus loomed that objective of nationalizing Sov-held property would fail while American owned oil companies il'.1 same zone would be subject to nationalization. I therefore addressed a ltr to -<Aus Chancellor on 6 Sep to guard against discrimination. In preliminary discussion Chancellor indicated that such a ltr would be welcome. "Following is ltr sent: (see diary September 7 1946). "The Brit Commissioner wTote Chancellor 4 Sep proposing that Aus Gov should when nationalization law automatically comes into force issue immediately declaration that it is not the intention of the .A.us Gov to apply the nationalization law to those properties touching interests of the United Nations until further legislation establishing compensation procedures has been pas sed by the Parliament and submitted to the AC . He proposes further that declaration should assure that law will not be put into eff ect without guaranteeing adequate and complete compensation for existing interests of United Nations . 11 In conversation concerning these letters the Chancellor has now informed me that when the nationalization law is promulgated .the Aus Gov will make the following declaration: . "' With re gard to the respective interests of the United Nations , the Aus Gov does not envisage the execution of the Nationalization Law, until a further law has been drafted by Parliament and approved by t he Allied Commission, regulating the compensation claims f or the various concerns to be nationalized . "The Aus Gov will not carry out this law where it affects the respective interes t s of ~he Uni ted Nations without acceptable compensation having been provided. 1 n * * * / NOI'E: September 4,5,6,7,8 were days to be reported by Captain Jordan, who returned to the USA. and failed to report on same as agreed prior to departure . �SALERNO, IV· Y, SE )T ""MB 9, 191,,6: In the morning, accompanied by General ""'navely ari Comr:ander, Husma:nno, General Clark attended the celebration of the J1ird anniversary o' the invasion at Salerno and received honorary ci tizen,:1 ip ., The General took off from Naples Airf · eld in his Bl 7 at 1430 hours and arrived in Paris at 1800 ho rs • .After havin dinner ~ith · CoJ_onel and ifirs.

The following message was sent to Joint Cniefs of Staff , pass to State Dept and to General Clark care OOS, SECRET, P-3962: 11 At Allied Cou11.cil meeting on 13 Sept no agreement was reached on any matter of great importance. "1. Sov proposal to impose drastic restrictions on Aus industry for a 10-year period was rejected by the other 3 elements. Sovs maintained that ·such action was necessary to insure economic separation of Aus from Germany and liquidation of Aus war industrial power. The other elements were of the opinion that settlement of this question was properly a matter for the peace treaty arrl beyond the competence of the Council . The US member maintained that present measures, whereby the end products of Aus industry are controlled by the occupying powers, will suffice for the present . 11 2. A proposal to define types of expenditures which should be classified as occupation costs was not agreed by the Sovs . The other 3 elements held that the present system, insofar as it permits some occupation charges to be met by requisition in excess of agreed currency allocations, is contrary to the decision of the Allied Council that the total amount of occupation charges would not exceed an agreed percentage of the Aus Civil Budget. Sov rejection of this viewpoint results in continuation of the present inequality of treatment of occupaticn charges among the occupying powers. "3. No action was taken on Sov proposals: tra. To remove the editor of' the Aus newspaper 11 .Arbeiter-Zeitung" 11 b. To destroy Reichsmarks and Allied Mil Schillings surrendered and by the occupying forces as result of currency conversion and such types of currency now held in the Aus Natl Bank. In connection with the latter item, the Sov element has not yet complied with the decision of the AC dated 30 Nov 1945, :bhat all currency exchanged by the :F:'orces of Occupation would be turned in to the Natl Bank. The Sovs report that the value of such currency in their possessi~n is 902 millions. S~vs insisted that the/£ must agree on method of destruction such currency before they will turn in quantities they now hold . Brit and US members not in accord with this Sov view. "4 • .Agreement was reached to issue travel permits, valid for all of Aus, to diplomatic and political representatives accredited to the Aus Govt. A draft reply to a cable from the UN subcommittee 149 requesting economic information on Aus was also approved." * * �20 I ovember 1946 Re • Oonversation and diaout.tsion, G "rel Ollark with Colonel neral Zhaltov, Deput~ Commamer•in...C. el of.

General Clark's staff sent the following message to Joint Chiefs of Staff , pass to State Dept and to General Clark care of OOS, SECRET , P-4988.: t1At PC meetfng on 11 Oct Gen Zheltov represented .Gen Kurasov . A paper on quadripartite control of the Vienna municipal administration was , considered but not adopted . Purpose of the proposed resolution was to relax controls and hand back several functions of civil administration to municipal authorities . As was the case the last time this subject was before the Council , discussion centered around the question of how much control should be exercised over legislative measures . Sovs held out for principal of unanimous approval, which was not acceptable to the other three elements because it would establish a greater degree of_co·n trol over municipal legislation than is presently exercised over federal legislation and would contravene both the wording and intent of the Control Agreement of 28 June 1946 . The deliverations on this item confirmed what had already become evident in other quadr ipartite meetings; namely, that the Sov element views with extreme disfavor the procedure for handling non- constitutional laws laid down in Art 6(a) of the Control Agreement and will not agree in the future to any extension of this procedure . �( "A resolution designed :to furnish instructions to the Aus gov for the establishment of a customs and frontier service was not agreed and was sent back to the Executive Committee for further study and recommendation. The other 3 elements could not agree to the Sov contentions that customs personnel should not be permitted to bear arms and that all subjects and all goods of the 4 occupying powers should be exempted from Aus frontier and customs control. With respect to the latter contention; the other elements took the position that only members and goods of the Allied Commission and of the forces in Aus of the 4 occupying powers should be exempted . "Ah ordinance of the Aus Ministry of Food concerning the consumption of food by self suppliers was approved following a unanimous agreement to decrease the total quantity of food which the self supplier would be permitted to · withhold . The Counc:i.l also approved resolutions· des:j.gned to speed up the preparation of a progress report on denazification and the approval of denazification law passed by the lA.us Parliament on '24 July 1946. The Council took note of Gen v. V. Kurasov , the present Aus, has been appointed.as the mission for Aus .

On October 27 the following cable was sent to Joint Chiefs of Staff , pass to State Dept , SECRET , P-5494: �I ( • I "Most important items on agenda for 25 Oct meeting of AC concerned rights of ~us Gov with respect to Aus indigenous products and attitude of Sov element with respect to Legislative matters . "For purpose of replying to a communication from the Minister of Agric, in which the Minister raised the question of control of produce from agricultural lands occupied by the Allies , the US, Brit and French members supported a resolution agreeing that 0 in accordance with the principles of International Law, the Aus Gov has the right to control the cultivation of all land throughout Aus and to dispose of the total production of that land except wh$re it is occupied'purely for mil purposes . 0 Sov member agreed to first part of resolution but maintained that disposition of the production in Sov Zone was a matter for settlement between Sovs and Aus Gov and was dependent upon receipt of Aus plan of food distri bution covering all of Aus . Other elements stated that Sov position implied Sov desire to return to old zonal basis of control and to withholdfronAustrians control of their own production, and pointed out that the Ministry of Agriculture could not be expected to produce a food plan until it is known whether or not land commandeered by the Sovs is subject to .Aus law . As no agreement could be reached , the paper was referred back to Exec Committee for reconsideration in light of views expressed in Council . "The same fundamental di.ff erence of opinion between the Sov and the.other elements arose during a discussion of ways and means to allay industrial unrest and allevi ate unsatisfactory living conditions currently prevalent in Aus . · In 1his case the Sov member agreed, as did the other members, to recognize the right of the Aus Gov to control all indigenous resources of Aus and to utilize them fully in the Aus economy, but would not agree that the Aus Gov had the right to apply Aus Law to all land and to products thereof, irrespective of ownership. The Council called upon the Aus Gov to give immediate attn to the causes underlying \lllrest, including price and wage control , lack of a plan for rehabilitation of all branches of industry, lack of a plan for export and import, failure to make full use of indigenous resources and failure to expedite revision of the present wages tax. The Council instructed the Aus Gov to submit within 30 days its plans to provide the necessary remedies and to put them into effect . "During discussions of the foregoing j_tems, the old controversies regarding German assets and extraterritorial rights were renewed , with the several elements reaffirming their previous positions in these matters . "The Brit member presented a prepared statement in which he criticized the Sov attitude toward certain clauses of the Control Agreement of 28 Jun 1946 and took the Sovs to task particularly for.~heir repeated declarations that they reserved the right not to recognizij1 the Sov zone any Aus legislation which comes into effect automatically under the provisions of .m-t 6(a) but which was not previously approved by the Sov element . The U.s. and French members of the Council supported the Brit statement, maintaining that the Control Agreement was agreed and signed by all 4 High Commissioners, in the name of their respective Govs , and that all elements were bound to abide by all its articles whether or not they nov.r objected to the effect of such articles . The Sov member insisted that his element had always acted in accord with the pr~visions of the Control Agreement and that the Sov objection to Art 6,aJ was · based simply on the Sov desire to have unanimous agreement in all matters . He pointed out that non-constitutional legislation was the only matter not subject to the principle of unanimous agreement and clearly . inferred Sov objection to any procedure by which the veto power is lost �to the Sov element . Discussion of the Brit paper was concl uded with a st atement by the Sov member that he might s ee fit to reply in more detail at a later date . "The same Sov attitude with respeqt to legi sl ative matters came up again during the dis9ussion concerning the form of supervision to be exer• cised over the Vienna Municipality . ·Despite objection of the other members, the -Sov member insisted that Municipal Laws should be unanL~ously approved. The other members took the position that this was not in accord with Jrt 13 of the Control Agreement, in that it would establish a greater degree of control over the Vienna Municipality than is exercised by the Allied Commission over the Aus Gov . Further discussion of this paper was terminated in view of the difference of opinion on such a fundamental question. uon the question of the establi-shment of an A.us Office for Civil Aviation , the US, Brit and French members maintained that, as civil air transportation is an essenti~l part of the economy of a free and independent country, they would agree that an Aus office should be established to handle matters relating to Austria's participation in internatit nal agreements in the field of civil aviation, to plan for future active participation of iA.us in civil aviation activities and to play a central international airport ·at Vienna . T.he Sov member could not agree this resolution inasmuch as he considered the establishment of such an office premature and that he was not assured that the process of demilitarization of mil air activities in Aus was complete. The matter was referred back t o the Air Directorate for further study . ,.tThe Council agreed that each element would cut its monthly newsprint requirement from 300 to 250 tons and approved several previous actions of the Exec Comm in matters of minor importance . n * * * * LONDON, ENGLAND, OCTOBER 31 1946: General and ';1rs .

ARCHIVES AND MUSEUM more , the effective implementation of this inadequate program is not assured as yet . If the reported diversion to Italy of a 17 , 000 ton wheat shipment destined for Austria should take place it would have disastrous nutritional and political consequences . This week brief scattered strikes involving s everal thousand workers have begun to occur in Vienna as a protest against the food situation. Addl scattered strikes are expected, and the possibility of a general strike continues to threaten. Disillusionment with the western democracies has resulted from t 'rie inadequacy of the UNRRA relief program to date 11 I trust the State Dept is making every effort to obtain an increase in UNRRA 1 s program for Austria and effective execution of it . It will also be appreciated if the State Dept could obtain clarification of the responsibilities of UNRRA and the War Dept . The latter has terminated its responsibility for civilian . supplies for Austria and its responsibility for preventing disease and unrest . (See W~ 85514 , Apr 24 and ~7896, l4 May . ) UNRRA. however has assumed responsibility only for the items within its program and to the extent of its funds . Therefore , it appears that no agency is responsible for assuring Austria ' s minimum requirements pf coal , and the other relief and rehabilitation supplies which are essential to the long-term US objectives in Austria . "While much less important than credits and the UNRRA program, various measures lying within the power of the US element of the Allied Cow.mission are being taken in Vienna to facilitate tpe economic reconstruction of Austria . Such measures include pressing for quadripartite .approval of (a) provisional exchange rates , (b) instructions to the Austrian Government requiring more vigorous measures of food col l ection, (c) arrangements for obtaining from Germany minimum essential imports , (d) trade arrangements with other countries, and ( e) Austrian membership in international organizations . Such measures also include, in the US zone , arrangj_ng for the sale to Austrians for Schillings of OEM, chiefly vehicles . , 11 We are keeping in view long-r ang3 measu.res for economic devel,opment in Austria, including cooperative pro.jects for the development of the whole Danube Basin under UN auspices , but until the present emergency is past and political factors become more clear no planning for such matters can usefully be undertaken .

Ordinarily such incidents have not been brought to the personal notice of t he Commanders - in-Chief concerned . In order that you may be informed of such cases , in the future I shall send to you every f orty-eight hours any cases involving members of the Soviet Forces . I will apprec·i ate in return any similar reports from the Soviet districts in Vienna concerning United States soldiers . I hope that by our combined and cooperative efforts such reports will be very few in number . 11 Please be assured of my firm intent to prevent further incidents between our troops . 11 General Clark sent the following telegram to Joint Chiefs of Staff , pass to State Department, information to Amembassy Moscow and Amembassy, Paris for DELS&;:;(Ref . No . P-0568, S&;RET): 11 Reference is made 1;,o message number 1990 from Ambassador Moscow to Secstate dated 25 June relaying translation of letter from Deputy Foreign Affairs USSR concerning repatriation of Soviet citizens in US Zone Austria . In this connection attention is invited to my messages P-1666, P-4575, P-5453, P-6046 and P-8751 . "Statement by Deputy Foreign Affairs in his letter concerning admission by Lt Col. McFeely to Major Genl Foreign Ministl""J in American Zone that there are 21,600 registered Soviet citizens in the US Zone Austria is incorrect . Such a statement was written into Soviet minutes , following conference in Vienna on 15 April. This statement was not accepted by Lt . Col. MoFeely when Soviet minutes of meeting were circulated . Statement was denied by Col. .McFeely in a letter sent to Col . Starov, dated 8 May. Soviet authorities here have repeatedly used the basis of this erroneous statement in the minutes of meeting 15 April to justify the return of a Soviet Mission to the US Zone . The situation in the US Zone is as stated in my message P-8751 0 "Soviets here have repeatedly made accusations regarding publication of anti-Soviet propaganda in Ukranian, Baltic and White Russian displaced persons camps . The disseminatfons of such propaganda is being watched by .the authorities in the US Zone . Wherever any articles ap• pear which carry any semblance of anti-Soviet propaganda steps are taken to punish offenders in military government courts . Posters are displayed in all camps warning against any act, publication or other activity tending towar d 4uiti-Sovi et propaganda . These posters warn as to consequences of violations . 11 .Arguments put forth by the USSR Deputy Foreign Affairs to Ambassador Moscow are same as those used here by General Zheltov and other Soviet officials to justify return of a Soviet lission to the US Zone . I am convinced that the main object behind Soviet insistence on estab- �( lishing another mission in the US Zone is for intelligence purposes , which activity previous Soviet missions to the US Zone engaged in , as reported in my message P-1666 . 11So far I have been unable to reach any agreed basis for the return of a Soviet Mission to my zone. 'As stated in my message P-4575 I am prepared to allow a Soviet mission to return to the US Zone when a scheme of operations of such a mission has been worked out here , or at governmental level .

Kurasov , Commander-in-Chief of Soviet Occupation Forces Austria: ( "It was with deep regret t hat I learned yesterday afternoon, imrr:ediately followin g the incident, of the shoot ing and killing of a Soviet soldier in the 7th District , Vienna . 11 It was also regrettable that the occurrence shouJ.d take place on the anniversary of our Independence Day and at approximately the time that I received your kind fel icitations thereon . 1tI immediately directed my Inspector General to conduct a thorough investigation in conjunction with the officers of your staff . Find ing the investigation would be somewhat prolonged, I direct 3d a general officer of my staff to convey to you, personally, my sincere regrets . "Preliminary results of the investigation indicate •that at about 1600 hours on July 4, a drunken Soviet soldier , waving a pistol in ,his hand , was observed for some time in the neighborhood of Lerchenf-elderstrasse and Neubaugasse . At least two calls were received at the District Uilitary Police Station reporting the incident , the general location of the soldier and transmitting the information that he was menacing civilians with the weapon. At about ' 1610 hours , an American Military Police Radio Patrol car overt9ok the Soviet soldier who pointed his pistol at one of the Mi l itary Policemen and opened fire . The American Military Police returned the fire in self-defense and the Soviet sold ier was hit . He was immediately taken to the Soviet hospital in t he 7th Bezirk by the International Patrol . "Points worthy of note thus far disclosed by the investigation are: (a) That this is an additional ins tance of an armed Soviet soldier · being in the American zone in violatlon of the Quadripartite agreement and of my agreement with you as entered into on 28 June 1946. (b) Complying with my instructions , none of the American Military Police drew their weapons until after the Soviet soldier had fired directly at them . (c) One American Military Pol i ceman advanced empty- handed to within ten feet of the drunken soldier in an effort to disarm him without bloodshed . (d) The measures adopted were made necessary by the fact that many civilians in the vicinity had been menaced . Previous to arrival of the Military Police , t he Soviet soldier had threatened to shoot ' two civilie.n women . ( e) We have contacted and obtained testimony from many witnesses to this incident , both military and civilian. 11 1/iy positive instructions to our M il i tary Police have been and still are to assist any inebriated members of our Allied forces by ar- �. resting ' and disarming them and escorting them to the District Police Headquarters to be turned over to the Kor.unandat ura of the Ally involved . This policy will continue in effect . 11 I desire to reaffirm my previous statement to you that incidents such as tnis are a matter of deepest concern to me , and that I stand ready to do anything within• my power to prevent recurrence . As I have told you before, I am convinced that a great step will have been taken toward the achievement of our mutual objective in this respect, if you can enforce your instructions designed to keep armed Soviet soldiers out of the.American zone in Vienna . 11 1 A telegram similar in detail to the above letter was dispatched to WARCOS, pass to State Department for relay to U.

Erhardt and Mellen . At this time they dis cussed thB peace treaty with Austria . At 1130 hours General Clark · held a press conference concerning the seizure by the Russians accord- , ing to the Potsdam Agreement of all the German assets in the Russian zone of Austria . Following the press conference , General Clark returned to his villa where he had lunch with Mrs . , Clark and Ann . In the afternoon he played tennis with Ann and in the evening had dinner with his family at the villa . General Clark sent the following letter to Colonel General L. V. Kurasov, Commander- in-Chief of Soviet Occupation Troops in Austria: • nMy attention has been called to an order of the Supreme Commander of the Soviet Occupation Troops in Austria as published under a TASS dispatch dated 27 June 1946 concerning the immediate transfer of German property in Eastern Austria to the ovmership of the USSR . In this order , which claims to be justified on the basis of an agreement made by my Government, notice is given that all German-owned property in Eastern Austria has passed into the possession of the USSR as reparations , and all Austrian authorities and officials and all private · business officials concerned are directed to take necessary steps to effectuate and record tbe possession of such property by the _USSR . 11 I note that in your order no definition of German property is given. I feel this is unfortunate , since it leaves unsettled the important question of whether Austrian property ~eized by Germany in Eastern Austria after ' the Anschluss is to revert to Austrian control , You will recall that this has been the subject of much discussion in the Allied Commission since September 1945, with no results to date due solely to the reluctance of the Soviet Element to consider the question. �l51 0 I assure you that my Government adheres fully to the decisions of the Potsdam conference providing that no reparations should be exacted from Austria; that Allied claims to German reparations should be. satisfj_ed in part from appropriate German external assets; and that the various signatories renounced all claims to German property located in specified areas of ~ustria . Accordingly , my Government has never questioned the right of the USSR to take over possession and ownership of bona-fide German assets located in Eastern Austria . However, cases have arisen in which the Soviet authorities have cited the Potsdam Agreement as authority for the seizure of property which had been taken from former Austrian owners by the German Government or German Nationals by forced transfer during the period of German cont rol of ./Austria. In the view of my Government no assets in Austria may be claimed as German external assets on the authority of the Pots dam Agreement if those assets were acquired by the Government or Nationals of Germany through looting or forced transfer in the sense of the London Declaration of JanUB.r'IJ 1943 . nr trust that the views of my Government will be respected by the Soviet Element in executing your recent order referred to above . 11 General Clark sent thetfollowing message to Joint Chiefs of Staff , pass to State Department (SECRET , REF . No . 0874) : 11 Subject is POL requirements for Austria . References are made to my messages P-8027 , P- ?866 and P- 0072 and your message WAR 91318 . ttDuring May and June Soviet el ement contributed full needs of POL products except 2400 tons gasoline each month . Shortages this item for May and June were supplied by US, Brit and .French elements. In May and June great difficulty was experienced in getting Sov element to state contributions POL products . In each case no firm commitment was made by Sovs until matter reached Allied Council. There was great reluctance on part of lower level Sov officials to make any commitments . This pr~ctice resulted in delay in determining Sov monthly contributions until middle of month in _wbich POL products required . Furthermore Sov gasoline monthly offers have approximated needs only of Sov Zone and all of Vienna . Bulk of gasoline needs in US , Brit and French Zones for May and June have been met from contributions made by each of these 3 occupation powers . 11 The July POL requirement for all of Aus was considered by the Exec Committee on 5 July . The Sov e~ement decl ined to make any statement regarding its contributions from indigenous sources , adding that t ne Sov element was prepared to consider any Aus bid for sale of indigenous POL when such bid was received by the Sov element from the Aus Govt ; This statement is obviously intended to indicate that the Sov element plans in the future only to deal with the ,Aus Govt in the matter of indigenous POL supply, thus eliminating the Allied Council from this controversial subject . I am convinced that by these tactics the Sovs have hopes of forcing the Aus Govt to conclude an agreement with respect to the Zistersdorf oil fields. The US rep of the Exec Committee refused to accept the statement of the Sov member and insisted that the matter be referred to the Allied Council at its meeting 12 July . �11 I propose to press this matter vigorously at the Allied Council meeting. In doing so , hO\!ever , I must consider my present position as regards gasoline supply for the US zone . It will be recalled that at the ·time the .Allied Council considered the UNRF.A agreement in March and, acting under instructions from my Gov, I refused to accept the agreement unless assurance could be given that indigenous resources , including oil, would be supplied to implement the UNRRA program . Later , these instructions fromnu Gov were modified so as to nable me to ac cept the agreement with the understanding that the US element would supply its share of POL requirements for the month of April only . This action on my part forced the Sovs to make a substantial POL contribution in May . At that time I recommended in my P- 8027 that no action be taken by my Gov to force the Sovs to contribute the fu ,l POL needs of Austria . · 11 For May and June I met my share of the gasoline shortage from reserve stocks which had been accumulated . These stocks are now exhausted . Message TT.AR 91318 advises that in the future I must look to UNRRA to supply any POL shortages in the US zone . UNRRA mission in Aus has informed me that it has no funds to procure POL products not• supplied from indigenous sources to the Aus Gov, nor does there appear to be any prospect of acquiring such funds in the future for this purpose • .Accordingly, I have no assured supply of gasoline for my zone , for July and subsequent months . · "In the Allied Council meeting on 12 July I propose to use every device to force the Sovs to supply the full July PeL requirements, and I will refuse to recognize the right of the Sov element to deal directly with the Aus Gov in placing bids for indigenous oil products . I 5hall insist that the POL needs of Aus is a concern of the ,lilied Council until the question of German assets is fully settled . I am c011vinced that the only way I can impress the Sov element to respect my views is to warn them regardinf the sanctions contained in UNRR.A Resolution No . 91 and to fufo.11ll them that I shall recommend to my Gov that such sanctions be imposed in the Sov zone unl ess they agree to make full use of indigenous oil for the economy of Austria . I am convinced this is the only way to force the Sovs t>yield . I shall proceed along this course of action unless otherwise instructed . ••Since the Brit element agreed in March to contribute its share of POL products in order to get UNRRA into Aus they are in no position to take the 1ead in recommending the impo~ition of sanctions under UNRRA Resolution No . 91 . They are prepared , however, to support my fight with the Sovs to force t~e maximum use of indigenous oil in the economy of Aus . The French element is contributing only a fraction of the shortage because of their own supply difficulties , so I am sure they will give support to my proposal . 11 1 have discussed my plan with Parminter who is prepared to support a recommendation for applying sanctions in the Sov Zone if the Sovs refuse to contribute indigenous oil resources to meet the needs of .Aus economy .

P- 0877: �l53 "Austri ans first reaction to Soviet Commanders order quoted m:y unclassified message P-0876 declaring all German assets in eastern Austria had become Soviet state property under Potsdam was that it ~ave bulk of all property in eastern Austria to USSR and stripped entire Austrian economy to point where country ' s independence im os • sible . "Immediately upon reading it the Chancellor got in touch with us ·about our position. I reiterated to him by letter the US posit ion as already defined in earlier directives . I als o suggested to him that the Austrian Govt issue a clearcut definition of its own conception of the meaning of German assets (which corresponds with ours) for the guidance of Austrians complying with Kurasov 1 s order . I also sent a letter to the Chancellor urging him to block efforts of Soviets to withdraw funds from Vienna banks standing to credit of owners of Soviet property . I have also addressed a strong letter to Kurasov pointing out that his order contains no definition of German assets , and that he has persistently refused to discuss such definition with me in spite of the fact that USSR tries to justify its claims on the basis of a US Govt agreement . British informed of my steps . 0 Peoples Party press did not publish text of order but merely a statement about it promising Austrian Govt would ascertain of- '_ ficial status of order .

"Special session of Cabinet called for this afternoon to consider question of German property . Extraordinary session of Austrian Parliament scheduj.ed for July 10 to give public expression to Austrian views . 11 In response to W AR 92600 I am recommending under para 9 my message P- 0870 dispatched today early public renunciation by the US of all claims to German assets in Austria , including German interest in enterprises in Austria , under reparations . I feel strongly that such renunciation should be made and indications are that US Govt has this in mind . In view of today's announcement by Soviets that all German assets in their zones will be absorbed by them and the extremely adverse effect of this announcement, I bel:ieve that constructive prestiee of U.S. and western policies would be greatly forwarded by our immediate repeat immediate renunciation of claims to German assets in Austria . ' "I realize that as custodians of such assets for UN nations the policy could not be implemented without consent of other UN countries (besides Soviets) . If British and French could be persuaded to make similar pronouncement it would increase pressure on balance to concur . But even without British or French concurrence and to take full advantage of timing I ask authority tomake the announcement -now in name of U. S. 11 If German assets here were turned over to Austria, they could be offset against Austrian claims to property in Germany, and repara• tions nations claims could then all be directed towards Germany . 11 The effect of this immediate announcement of US renunciation �of German assets would be specially forceful in view of today ' s Soviet declaration ~~ich has caused real consternation here . Controls would still be maintained until agreement other UN nations obtained , and such strong US position publicly declared would press other UN nations to go along and wo~ld do more to stimulate business confidence and to re store faith in !iestern orientat:ion lost through Potsdam agreement and failure of UNRRA and South Tyrol than anything else . · "Erhardt fully concurs . 11 General Clark sent the following letter to Chancellor Figl : "In addition to the general observations presented in a separate letter of today , with respect to the definition of "German assets 11 , I wish to call your particular attention to the letter sent on 6 February 1946 on my behalf by my Deputy to various Austrian banking institutions on whom the Soviet authorities had made demands for the release of funds standing to the credit of various shipping companies . In that letter these companies were informed that the assets demanded covld not be regarded as Soviet prcperty until they were determined by quad ripartite action t o be Soviet property ; and that for a.riy banking institution to pay ovt funds belonging to these companies on the basis of a unilateral assertion that they are Soviet property would represent a premature disposition of assets whose ownership should , in the U.S. view, be determined only on a quadripartite basis . In that letter the U.S. element objected to the withdrawal of any funds from the accounts indicated until a quadripartite decision had been taken. 11 0n the matter of further demands from Soviet authorities for withdrawal of funds from bank ac counts standing in the name of physical pr juridical persons whose ownership is claimed by the Soviets under the terms of the Potsdam agreement , the UeS. position remains exactly as stated in our letter d6ted 6 February 1946 . I trust , therefore , that you will , through the I!iinistry cf Finance , take steps similar to those taken in February in order to prevent the withdrawal of funds standing to the credit of all physical and juridical persons whose assets are alleg to have become Soviet property under the recent order published by the Supreme Commander of Soviet troops in Austria . u General Clark sent the followi1;g letter to Chancellor Figl: "Uty attention has been called to an order of the Supreme Commander of the Soviet Occupation Troops in Austria concerning the t ransfer of German property in Eastern Austria to the ovmership of the USSR . In this order notice is given that all German- ovmed prorerty in Eastern Austria has passed into the possession of the USSR as reparations , and all Austrian auth,)rities and officials and all private business of ficials concerned are d:j.rec ted to take necessary stars to effectuate and record the possession of such property by the USSR . 11 1 should like to advise you of my position in this matter . My Government adheres fully to the decisions of the Potsdam Conference providing that no reparations should be exacted from Austria , that Al - �lied claims to German reparations should be satisfied in part from appropriate German external assets, and that the various signatories renounced all claims to German assets located in specified areas of Austria . Accordingly, my Government has never questioned the right of the USSR to take over possession ar:d ownership of bona fide German assets located in Eastern Austria . However, cases have arisen in which Soviet authorities have cited the Potsdfu~ Agreement as authority for the seizure of property which had been taken from former Austrian owners by the German Government or German nationals by forced transfer during the period of German control of Austria . In my Government's view, no assets in Austria may be claimed as German external assets on the authority of the Potsdam Agreement if those assets were acquired by the Government or nationals of Germany through looting or forced transfer in the sense of the London Declaration of . January 194.3 . In that Declaration the Governments of the USA, the USSR, arrl sixteen other Allied countries solemnly recorded their solidarity in warning that they would not consider themselves bound by forced transfers of property to German ownership in territories which came under occupation or control of Germany , whether such transfers took the form of open looting or plunder , or of transactions apparently legal in form even though purporting to be voluntarily effected .

I understand that such arrangements have not been made in the case of the .present expulsion order . "Moreover , it is my view that such an order should not apply to persons who were permanent residents of Austria before the Anschluss , nor to persons who rightfully obtained Austrian citizenship subsequent thereto under approved legislation regarding such citizenship . In my opinion, any expulsion measures that do appear appropriate for execution ~hould be so timed and carried out as to avoid disturbance of the Austrian economy , especially the agricultural economy in the present food situation, through the sudden withdrawal of wbrkers needed for bringing in the harvest and other essential purposes .-u General Clark received the following letter from the visiting newspaper _men: 11 As we leave the area of your command we ta.ke this means , ~ir , ·of expressing our deep thanks faryour hospitality and our admiration for the snap and precision, the efficiency and high morale of your staff . 11 Nowhere on our trip have we found greater enthusiasm for a commanding officer than your men have for you; and we see in your leadership a reflection of the best traditions of the American Anny . 11 You make us all proud to be Americans .

At 1900 hours Chancellor Figl and Federal Minister Krauland went. to the Hote-1 Imperial for a discussion on German assets in Austria w:ith the Russian element, memo of same repo:r;-ted as follov1s : ''Col . Gen . Kurasov opened the debate in rather violent. tones and reproached -the Chancellor with the fact that ~ustria had exhausted itself in criticism of the Potsdam llgreement and his order No ., 17 , and that he ( the Chancellor) had declared that ustria had received no help from Russia and that Austria was anxious to interest the Allied Council or other Allied powers in this problem . _ n It was his ( Kurasov ' s) opinion that his order No . 17 had noth:; ng to do with the Allied Council and he would therefore not engage in debate with any other pov1er about his order . He recognized no other definition of the Potsdam Agreement than the one issued by Moscow. 11 In the enst.ung convers a tion Col . Gen . Kurasov presented the general principles of Russ i a in the matter of German property and set forth the following 7 points as unconditional demands : "German propert y is . .: �( ttl) As such property everything must be recognized which was German property before 15 March 1938 . (In specific individual cases deviation can be made from this demand , if proof is presented ., that the owner , although a German national on 15 March 1938, had always had his business in Austria and had actively resisted National Socialism). n2) Likewise to be considered as German property are all those assets which passed into the possession of German citizens or the German Reich on the basis of sale or purchase, irrespective of whether these assets bel9nged , before 15 March 1938, to Austrians , to citizens of neutral states , or to citizens of states included in the, United Nations , as property . Uif in such cases it can indisputably be established that pressure wa~ exercised in the transfer of property or that the price was not . paid in full , the USSR Kommandatura can return the assets in question to the former owners if the former owner pays to the UuSR Kommandatura the sum received at the time , or the U&SR Kommandatura can, vice-versa , claim the property rights for itself and pay to the formErr Ov\'11er the difference (increase in value) between the buying price at the time and the present value . tt3) German property are furthermore a1. l the rights which Germa.n firms and private persons acquired in Austria after 15 Ifarch 1°38; included among them is also the right to exploit the natural reso1;rces of the country; furthermore all those installations which have been founded or developed on the basis of German investments since that year , i . e . after the 15 :11arch 1938 (with the aid of Russian Prisoners· of -~;ar , of foreign workers , over against which the claims of Austria concerning the participation of Austrian workers , of .Austrian materials , etc . in the development of these installations /must be taken into consideration/) . 0 4., All patents and trademarks of German citizens are German property irrespective of the fact whether they belong to physical or juridical persons . "5 ., illl . accounts and val uabloo which physical or juridical pers.ons of German c:i-tizenship or their representatives have deposited in Austrian banking or credit institutions a~e German property . tt6 . The property .o.f all public German Reichs oreanizaticns as well as t he private property of German citizens is German property insofar as it cannot be proven that this property was expropriated under duress from a former ovn1er . . n7) All state , community and other property which up till 15 'Vlarch 1938 belonged unabiguously to the .Austrian State or to Austrian citizens and which was transferred after 15 M~rch 193? without recompense to the possession of the Gerr.ian Reich or German citizens in the cours·e of fusing the t 1 0 administrations is not to be considered as German property . "In this manner expropriated credit institutions , as well as all organized property must be returned tcthe former owner insofar as he was an r.ustrian up to the schluss . An exception to this rule is the case of voluntary transfer and increase of value of the property by reason of German investments . · ncol.

In am eting of the conomic ffr3ctorate 18 July, the Soviet member insisted that Genl Kurasov•s offer was meant to include the areat1 of Vienna occupied by the 3 ·; estern powers as well as the Western Zone.J of .ustria, and that the needs of Vienna was to have priority over the ~:estern Zones of Austria . He also insisted that the full needs o t he Soviet Zone be met fron indigenous sources . The net resv.lt of this Soviet view i'-s that the .3 v;estern zones of ustria will receive only 55-5 tons of' indigenous gasoline, instead of the 1800 tons anticipated from General Kurasov ' s s_tatement in the JC . 1ot1ing was said in the meeting which indicated that the 1800 tons would have to be ( used to supply Vienna . irr bis matter was discussed by the Executive Committee at its m·eting on 19 July , and the views of the Soviet representative on the conomic .uirectorate were confirmed by the ' 'oviet member of the Exec or.unittee . It is apparent therefore that the 3 ~:estern zones of Austria will not receive ~ore than 555 tons of indigenous gasoline to· implement the mm.P program in those zones . This amount represents only 18;' of the total needs of the three western zones as determined by the Aus trian Government .

"The disproportionate distribution insisted upon b: ' the ('l·oviets was pointed out in the ~xec Comm , and it was recommended ' by the reps of the .3 Western powers that since the total Soviet contribution of indigenous gasoline represented 59% of the recuirements for all of Austria , distribution to all zones , incJ.uding Vienna , be made on that basis . The Soviet rep rejected this proposal . t·1at th'3 stand taken by the Soviets in distributing indigenous gasoline on the basis of 10~ to the Soviet Zone and Vienna and only 18% to the 3 ~:astern zones of ~ustria violates the fundamental principles of U~R supply .

The other co :manders did not accept tl:is view of the [~ovs " Other Commanders insisted that since the oil is in the ground in Aus it rightfully beloµgs to Aus and the .AD has a definite interest in the settlement of this qrestion .. The Covs remained firm in their view so no decisions were reached .,. In considering the JU~Y POL distribution plan, the Sovs would r. ct recoinize t.:-~e demands of the western powers , fer distribution of :indiJenous on on a parity basis., so no decisior-1 was reached . I made statement po1ntj_ng out that I could not recognize Sov c:emand wherein 10~. of POL needs in t11eir zone and in Vienna is "()et from ind:i.__:;eno-us sources, and only 181 of t-he gasoline needs of the 3 vvestern zones is provided from indigenous sources ., :Burther, the.t deliveries promised by the 1Sovs to the 3 western zones in the past has n0t been fulfi led . For the past 3 .rnonths tl1ere is a backJ og of und livered POL to US zone -alone of over 4000 tons . 0 6. It. is rerfectly clear to me -that the Sovs do not intend to relinquish control over production, allocation and distribution of indigenous oil products exce~t on their own terms . I nm also conv:i. ":Ced that they will not discuss any subject in the .AD which deals with this matter ., They have fully made up their minds that the rn.atter will only be settled by direct dealings between Soviet authorities and the Aus Gov-t . The AC is to be denied the right to engage in any negotiations or settlery'e~t which they might possibly r.ake with the .Av.s Govt . \ n7 . In cormection with the subject of indigenous oil attention is invited to my m,3ssages P-0874 , P- 116_6 and P- 1511 ., I urge that strong action be taken by my Govt to force the Sovs to utilize indigenous oil products on a reasonable basis ..

In .AC dealings t}:ere :is incre~sing evidence that the Sovs plan to disregard the AC in settling matters ::..n their zone ·Time and again they object ,to items on the agenda on the grounds that they concern only the Sov elem~nt , and the ~us Govt and therefore srou1d be removed from the agenda. . '1l1e effect of such action is to render the .:!Hied Council impotent in,settling t:ie major issues concerned wit~ reestablishing Aus as a free and independent state vii th· a sound economy . t the present time hours are wasted in .Allied Commission Commlttees and in the tC try, ing to .'.3et the Sovs to discuss r"'.aj or economic isst~es , but to no avail . ,:hen they refuse to discuss a subject m progress is made . On svcb. a basis, thP- AC can nake no constructive ·0rogress The situation is .getting intolerable and is proving most ernbarrassine to the 3 western .Al lies . The Sovs manifest greater interest in matters s1:lch as , denazif icatj_on, de1r:ilitarization , displaced persons and other ncnconstructi ve subjects . l,cne of these give any r:iaterial assistance to Ai.;stria . They are all political issu s which they drag ovt repeatedly with the sole purpose of confvsing the maih issue in Austria , to ,'iscredit the Govt, to juDtify their remaining in .J1us indefinite]y , to build vp e. case against a peace T 1 1 1 ci �treaty , aLd for use as propa ganda The on·1 y realistic solution to the · problem is an early 1 cace treaty, follo·,ed by econom · c assistance from t"rie Govts of' the 1.·.estern powers The continued \lierl ad·dnistration and occupation of Aus on the present basis of Sov non- cooperation can lead only to chaos and economic ruin for ustria . n * * * VIEI!IJ.. , JULY 28 , 19Li.6 i General Clark arr:i ved at his office at· 0930 ho .rs and aft0r talking ::Tith General Tate departed for the cub strip at 1030 hours and flev1 to Tulln to ff!e-et ~.:r 1c'ymington •_s I arty , which included· ..:r.

Furthermore, if food supply res ponsibi ·; i ty is returned to the r.1ili tary I vtllJ be in a position to ,force Konev t o rut food into Vienna as I have done in the pas t . He has furnished no food in the Soviet Zone to date so the people in that area rd 7 1 be no worse off than they have been for months . The same applies to the Frenc h Zone .

This policy has encouraged a certain amount of idleness at a time when there is a shortage of labor, particuJarly in the construction and agriculture industries and when a shortage of food exists in Austria . It is requested that I be authorized to require aJl able bodied United ~ations displaced persons , except persecutees , to work in order to receive r2tions . n l General Clark sent the following message to Joint Chiefs of Staff , Reference Number P-7619: , (SECRET) �Austrian Government has passed a law creating an Austrian Liberation IJeda1 to be awarded to deserving members of the Al] ied Forces on Austrian territory , to Austrians and t o others concerned with the liberation of the Austrian RepubJ ic .

He stated that the incident involving C-47 No . 348779 occurred as res1)} t of violation of the estab 1 ished corridor . As to the inc ident on 5 April Konev advised that his investigation "established no such incidenttr and furthermore "in this region there are no P.ed Army anti- aircraft guns .

Also I am asking Konev to lend his support in removin~ restrictions on flying over the Soviet Zone in Austria , which subject has been considered for some time in Quadripartite ir Division me etings . 11 At the present time I do not believe that the incidents involving .American aircraft signify a changed Soviet policy, but instead are believed to be irresponsible acts by Red Army air personnel . There is the possibility hovrever that these repeated incidents might have as their purpose a means of attempting to force me to agree to other unrelated Allied Corn.mission matters.

Allied Council meeting today marked by extreme cooperative s pirit . Agreement reached all items on a genda . Liost important items deal t with were (a) cost of occupa tion forces in Austria, and (b) Li c:uid fuel Plan for Austria for i.'. ay . Results achieved both subjects extremely favorable in l ~ght US pol icy and considering past stand of Soviets . 11 2 . Subject of occupation costs has been ur1der Al] ied Commis sion discussion sjnce February . Up to date Soviets have steadfastly held out for at :i east 50% of Austrian Civil Budget as proper share for occupation costs . This has been just as steadfastly opposed by me . I have he l d out for a top limit of 35% of the civil budget . Agreement reac hed today provides (a) Austrian Gove rnment to be advised that Allied Council estimates repeat estimates that occupational costs will not exceed 35% of Austrian Civil Budget , (b) For period 12 February to 30 June occupation costs fixed at 35% of civil budget , or 400 , 000 , 000 SchilJ ings , (c) Of amount agreed for period 12 February to thirty June (4½ months), Soviets to get 220 , 000,000, British , French and A'Ilerican to get 60,000,000 each , (d) Amount to be inc 1 uded in budget for next quarter is to be determined by a:11 four powers before beginning of quarter . �"3 . Whi]e amount obtained by Soviets for current period is over ( I three times amount allotted each of the other three powers, the sum given Soviets is a substantial reduction when viewed in ]ight of amounts previous ly granted Soviet el ement . For Januar,J Soviets received 240 1 000,000 for one month . The 220,000,000 agreed today is for a period of 4{ mont hs from 12 February to 30 June. It is my understanding that Soviet troops have not been paid since end of February . If this is true, Soviet agreement on amount s plit today indicates possible troop reduction . 4 . In licuid fue J discussions Soviets agreed to supply 28 ,000 tons POL products to meet IB'LRRA 1 s need of 30,500 tons during L1ay . This 11 is s ubstantial increase over previous monthly a 1 lotments by Soviets . Shortage of 2500 tons is a'i gasoJine , which other three powers agreed to supply on equal basis . Soviets also stated that amount to be contributed by them in June to meet needs of T.n~RRA wou' d not be l ess than contribution made for i.1 ay . I consider this to be reasona", 1 e contribution and recommend no action be taken at t his time under rnrnP..A Resolution passed in :rarch to force Sovi ets to contribute fu21 amount . Their attitude t oday 1 eads me to be l ieve we mi ght eventuaJly get them to meet complete m~RRA POL needs. "5 . General Kurasov represented I.'.arshal Konev at meeting today .

J. s a temporary expedient an air corridor bounded by ~errain features was seJected f or use of·u . s . aircraft pending the selection of a satisfactory air corridor based on a study of t:_e air s1,ace,. weather, terrain and su]table sites for installation of aids to air navigation . 11 As a reSl'l t of this study the U.s . Air Forces have installed radio ranges at Linz and Tulln . The beams overlap on a direct Jine between the two points enab'_ine aircraft to maintain a direct course . D1.:ring incJement weather it is sometimes the only means of estab'ishinp; the aircraf't 1 s position . This is especially important in view of the close proximity of the Alps . Safety , time, economy of operations , a 1 1 dictate adherence to a direct route 1:letween these two points • .Anticipating your concurrence with the other AJJies of freedom of air transit orer all of Austria , r .s. aircraft have used a direct Linz-Tulln route for the past nine nonths without incident until ,-"uite recent':'• This I believe estab 1 ishes the feasib_ility of such a ro.1,te without ,offering interference in any way with Soviet air o·· erations . 11 "In Sevte- ber of 1945 I subm'itted throuc:h my ,Air Division a proposal for freedom of the air. over all of Austria for aircraft of the occupying powers . Soviet agreement on this proposal wot'd eliminate the necessity for erecting air corridors in any zone of Austria . This matter has been presented to the Soviet e 1 ement in variovs forms at Air Division i evel with the hope that an agreer.ient cou 1 d be reached . Trms far we have not received �Soviet concurrenc e . Pending further negotiations for freedom of the air over a1: of Austria , in order to e}iminate air incidents caused by the present inadequate temporary air corridor and to insure the safe operation of G.S . aircraft , I reqc.est that you authCJ.!·ize li .

UNRHA agreernen t and Ul!n..TlA resolutions prohibit preferential treatment by mrRRA of United l ations displaced nersons and persecuted minorities . This poJicy places such persons on same feeding scaJe as Austrians . Persons in these categories now r_eceiving supplementary food averaging eight hundred calories per day from American Red Cross food parcels . :i:n addition to this eight hundred calories AJ i.,C is supr1 ying ap~roximately 500 calories daily to persecutees . "Supply of Red Cross parcels will be exhausted in June , which will reduce United Nations disp1aced persons to feeding l eve] of Austrians , which at present time is below 1200 calories . Iersecutees will , in addition to the Arstrian ration , receive such supplementary food as AJDC is able to s ·pply , which it is anticipa.ted will not exc_eed the 500 calories nou being supnlied . It is understood that in Germany United l~ations DPs and persecutees are receiving 2300 to 2500 caJories daily , and that USFET proposes to reduce this scale in near future to 2000 calories . 11 The lovmring of the ration scal e for United Nations DPs and persecutees in Austria belov, the scale es tab· ished in U.S . Zone Germany will be misunaerstood by such 1€rsons under my controJ in Austria and is bound to be misinterpreted to detriment United States . Also , I anticipate increase in crime rate among such displaced persons in an effort to acquire more food . 11 "It :rs recommended I be authorized to use military stocks to feed United l<Jations ' displac ed y,ersons and persecutees the difference between the Austrian ration and the ration scale established by USFET for such classes of persons . I now have approximately 51 , 000 Unit ed Nations dis placed persons and persecutees in the U.S . Zone .

Bill, my son, is doing Infantry troop duty in one of Harry Collins' units." General Clark sent the following message to Joint Chiefs of Staff Ref. P 8752, SECRET: "Reference is made to Paragraph 3 your message WAR 87739. I have discussed the subject of Austrian Food Supply for June with General Gale, Head of UNRRA, London, and Brig. Parminter, Austrian UNRRA Chief, and they have given me their best estimate of UNRRA food supplies de• finitely in sight for June feeding. These amount to approximately 27,000 tons. This added to indigenous supplies reported available by the Aus• trian Government will provide for the entire month of June for all of Austria between 700 and 800 calories for the normal consumer. I revealed for the first t ime to Gale and Parminter that I had a reserve and that I would be willing to turn over a part of it to UNRRA in order to raise the June ration. They both promised to keep this information secret, and at my request Parminter immediately sent a letter to me as Chairman of the Allied Council requesting the occupation powers to loan UNRRA about 15,000 tons of supplies to raise the ration to ' approximatel y 1000 calories. 11 initial plan in requesting Parm.inter to give me this request was to attempt to squeeze part of the deficit 1 from the British and Soviets. Informal discussions with Soviets indicates they are unwilling to contribute anything. British hope to make some contribution. The Soviets .immediately seized upon the occasion to demand the creation of Quadri· partite miss ions to operate in all zones to check on available food supplies, with the accusation that the Austrians are hiding food, particularly in the u.s. Zone. In the light of previous experience in utilizing Quadripartite groups for examining any matter, nothing but confusion and false accusations wil l result _from such a procedure in this case. 11 My "Last night I talked at length with Chancellor Figl regarding the food situation. He and his people have convinced me that all steps are being taken by the Austrian Government to squeeze the last indigenous resources from the farmers without destroying the future food economy of the �country. "I plan to call upon the other powers in ~lied Council Meeting 24 May for contributions to meet the 15,000 ton deficit, realizing no contributions will he made by Soviets and little by the British. I will immediately turn over to UNRRA the balance of the 15,000 tons they have requested, and even more should my observations of the food situation in Austria make it necessary during the month of June. "Gale and Parminter both are most anxious that I not turn over my entire reserves at this time, as July is going to be another critical month with rail and coal strikes in the United States presenting uncertainties in deliveries of food supplies promised for Austria. "Gale and Parminter are in complete accord with my intentions and I believe we can by this way just about get by with the food situation in Austria until the next harvest, with greater credit redounding to the United States Government's contribution to UNRRA. I propose to work closely with them. ( ''I am absolutely convinced from information I have gathered and from propaganda the Soviets are beginning to use through the Communist Party here that the Soviets are standing by with large stocks of food hoping to create a crisis ta the embarrassment of the Western Allies, UNRRA, and the Austrian Government. Such a food situation in Austria is an ideal breeding ground for creating dissension,- confusion, and hate, which communism thrives upon. I am also convinced we must not give the Soviets this opportunity they seek. I hope that by my plan we can handle the situation." * * * VIENNA, MAY 25, 1946: The General. arrived at his office at 0900 hours. After conferring with General Tate he worked on official correspondence until 0950 hours at which t:une he left for British Headquarters to ca~l on General Steele, the new Commander-in-Chief of British forces in Austria. Returning to his headquarters at 1030 hours he attended a ceremony in the Conference Room of the Bank Building at which time he decorated and promoted several of the officers in his headquarters.

P 8836 SECRET: �111. At Allied Council meeting 24 M ay, General Kurasov represented Mars'hal Konev and General Cherriere represented General Bethouart. New British Commander General Steele was present. "2. _Two items were removed from the agenda on request of Soviets and not discussed. One covered reduction of troops as result of my statement of U.S. policy at meeting 25 April. French and British had previously approved policy in Executive Committee. Soviets would not dis• cuss on grourds subject ou~side their competence. Other item covered free use o:£ air space over Austria by all powers. Soviets pref er to continue present arrangement of bilateral agre~ments. British, French, and American elements desired to discuss item. But in view Soviet attitude, subject was dropped from agenda. Kurasov promised me he would discuss subject at early Commander in Chief's informal conf,erence. ( 11 3. Food situation for June was discussed. Austrian Food Minister presented report wbicp revealed that available indigenous supplies and UNRRA receipts would provide not more than 700 to 800 calories daily for normal consumers. This report was confirmed by statement of Brigadier P~rminter, UNRRA chief. After much discussion, in which Soviets attempted to force a resolution which obviously was intended to embarrass UNRRA and the Austrian ,Government and Western Allies i f they did not provide 1200 calories for June, which resolution was not adopted, I pressed the other Commanders to contribute more food to raise t he ration to at. least 1000 calories. After much maneuvering, Soviets finally agreed to contribute 7500 tons. French stated they had hopes that about 7000 tons of additional food would arrive about 20 June. This French contribution if it ever arrives will not affect June ration as it requires at least · 10 days to distribute food after it arrives in Austria. British stated they would do everything possible to contribute, but at the present time they could make no firm commitments. I agreed to contribute 15,000 tons from my stocks. If Soviets live up to their agreement t he ration will not be below 1,000 calories per day for the month. It was also agreed that Austrian Government should make full use of indigenous food to increase t he ration to provide as near as possible the approved ration scale of 1200 calories. To ensure that full advantage is taken of in• digenous supplies, the Cotincil approved a resolution estal?lishing in each Zone a mission consisting of a representative of the occupying power, UNRRA, and the Austrian Government. This mission is charged with locating and reporting any hidden indigenous stocks. Soviets attempted to establish quadripartite missions for this purpose. British, French and American el ements vetoed such a proposal. 11 ery. 4. Unanimous agreement was reached on draft of new control machinDetails are being-forwarded in separate message. "5. The Council agreed on certain proposals to expedite prosecution of election fraud cases and Nazi criminals. "6. The Council agreed to. send a delegation to negotiate with the German Control Council on exchange of Austrian electric power for German produced coal. Soviets accepted resolution with understanding that Soviets would not send member, as matter did not concern Soviet Zoneo , �"7. A resolution was adopted which places all Austrian railroads under control of Ministry of Transport. · This is a definite step forward in turning over to Aus trians management own affairs. 11 8. In general, meeting was harmonious. Desire of Soviets to make political capital of food situation was only major point of difference. This was effectively blocked by British, French and American Elements. Soviets made some major concessions in arriving at agreement on draft control machinery." General . Clark sent the following message to Joint Chiefs of Staff, pass to SECSTATE, Ref. No. P-8882 SECRET: ( ( "I note with apprehension Cable 1969 from Secstate to Paris dated 29 April (repeated to Erhardt as 424) and the protracted uncertainties likely to result. I am faced immediately with the problem of continuing the operation of industries in the US zone which are deemed essential to the Austrian economy but which may be subject to reparations claims by the Western Powers as wholly or in part German external assets. In important cas~s such industries need. refinancing but the uncertain character of their assets as a result of potent:id. reparations claims prevents them from obtaining bank lo.a ns. Also redeployment makes it increasingly difficult to maintain close surveillance over the operations of such industries. I must either permit plants of this kind to close down, with resulting unemployment and detriment to the Austrian economy, or find promptly an appropriate means to finance and continue operating them. "A case in immediate question is the Steyr-Daimler-Puch A.G., original.y an Austrian automobile factory expanded some ten times by the Germans for war production. Present capital is Reichsmarks 80,000,000 and bonded indebtedness another 80,000,000. 51% of the shares are owned by Bank der Deutschen Luftfahrt, Berlin; and seem clearly German foreign assets. Ownership of remaining shares uncertain but probably largely German and t he exact location of shares themselves is unknown. Ownership of outstanding bonds .uncertain. Company has largest installation in US zone with important plants in British zone; has branches also in Soviet zone but equipment now removed from these. Plants in US ,zone have been maintained in operation around a US ordnance program which is now completed. Installations of rthe company in US and British zones can produce importantly for Austrian civilian needs, but this will requi re operational financing which banks refuse because of probable reparations character of majority of assets. ' "One possible solution might be to ask the Austrian Government to maintain the Steyr plants in operation, giving that govt assurance that those parts of the Steyr factories in the US zone which it deems essential to the Austrian economy wil l not be removed as reparations (this does not affect removals for restitutions purposes). I would thus be giving the Austrian Govt explicit assurance that reparations claims from German foreign assets in US zohe wil l not be taken in kind where it is agreed that those assets are essential to the Austrian economy and that if and when demand is made for reparations from such assets it can be met from equival ent values. I might secretly assure the Austrian Govt that the US intends to waive its claim to German foreign assets in the western zones of Austria, and to use its good offices to induce the other western powers to do likewise. �"If I took this course I might further propose that the Austrian Govt act as a contractor for operating the Steyr Works, paying a reason• able fee to the stockholders for the use of their property and thereafter taking such profit or losses as may result from the Plant's operation for the Govt•s own account. I could probably protect my position as custodian for the rep~rations claimants by appropriate liaison with the operational management and by suitable assurances from the Austrian Govt. "I do not know that the Austrian Govt will accept a proposal of this kind but believe they must cooperate with me to prevent further decline in the economic level. Such assurances appear to agree with US policy as outlined in the State Dept's 316 of 16 Nov 19'45. "Although the foregoing might solve the difficulties of the Steyr plant, it must be emphasized that many other Austrian industries in my zone present similar problems. Some 50% of Austria's industry is in the western zones of occupation, and of this perhaps 65% or more is pot• . entially liable to reparations claims. It is very doubtful that the Austrian G:>vt has either the funds or the organization to operate aey considerable number of these plants during the interim period in which we are endeavoring to negotiate an international position on reparations claims (SECSTATE to Paris, rptd as 424 to Vienna Apr 29.) C "It is not knov,n to what extent the proper application of the London Declaration on forced transfers would restore to Austrian ownership industries presently labeled as German. It is clear however that a very large segment of industry in Austri~ would revert to the Austrian State if reparations cl aims were ~aived, and this would in effect bring pressure on the State to nationalize such former German acc:tn18.ls. The State and War Depts may therefore wish to consider alternative means of maintaining in operation industries liable to reparations claims. 11 A plan which I favor most strongly and which has .been worked ou~ in detail here for a proposed reorganization of the Steyr Wer~e would place Allied Representatives on their top Board of Directors in somewhat the same fashion as the Allied Control Commission for Germany has done in Spain. This plan· might serve as a pattern for other industries. It contemplates formation of a new company in which I and my Brit colleague would presently exercise all the rights evidenced by the 51% of capital stock now standing in the name of the Bank der Deutschen Luftfahrt. At present the old company has no top Board of Directors. All its activities are car ried out by a local Board of Management under Property Control Officers. If I follow this plan I would, in cooperation with my British dolleague, reconstitute a top ·Board of Directors in the new company upon which each of us would be represented. I would also invite the Austrian Govt to name representatives to this Board with the proviso that the Austrian Directors should thereafter be elected at regular stockholders' meetings. "As between myself and my Brit colleague I would work out an arrangement under which I would have the right to vote for both of us on all purely local matters of administration and operations affeating the �plants in my zone, according him a like privilege on all such matters in the Brit zone. "Although we would thus for the time being be in a position to exercise complete control of this corporation through the majority stock, we must recognize three important factors: first, the company immediately requires a substantial amount of working capital. Second, there are likely to be a number of claims and disputes as to ownership rights in the old company which probably cannot be determined without protracted negotiation. Third, I assume that neither my Govt nor the Brit Govt would wish us to _maintain a permanent stock position in any Apstrian corporation. "For purpos~ of discussion I classify these J stock positions as investors stock, claimants stock, and reparations stock. "Admittedly Austria is suffering from a purchasing power in the hands of her people far in excess of the amount required to maintain economic activity at present levels and prices . The draining off of this excess purchasing power into the capital structures of Austrian industries would serve in a large measure to reduce inflation pressure, and I feel that, for that reason i f noreother, the money needed by Steyr should come from the savings of the Austrian people rather than from the burdened governmental exchequer. It follows that our reorganization plans should make attractive provi sion for the investment of the Austrian people. · "I would try to accomplish this through an agreement with the reorganized corporation that the reparations claimants should accept a stock position less than the 51% which it appears we could maintain. I would make an appraisal of all the assets which are to go into the _ reorganized corporation and an estimate as to the amount of probabie · claims. I would encourage the reorganized corporation to set aside suf• ficient stock to cover the likelihood that claimants would welcome stock in the reaganized corporation in satisfaction of their claims . The 'total stock position set aside for the claimants would probably not need to exceed 33 l/'M, and if the reparation claimants agree to accept a like position, there would be a block of 33 1/3% available for the investors. 11 We could avoid the maintanance of a permanent stock position in this corporation and offer further inducement to investors by entering into an agreement with t~e reorganized company granting to the investors an option to purchase one share of reparations stock for each share of investors stock they initially purchase. This option could extend over a p~riod of years long enough to permit the reorganized company to become well established. The price would be expressed in dollars and would be worked out with fair regard to the value of the assets turned into the reorganized company and the stock position which I might be entitled to insist upon for the reparations claimants. "I should like to point out that this company is probably the most important producer of ball bearings which the Allies propose to allow to remain in occupied Europe, and that the export of such bearings should bring substantial foreign exchange into Austrian hands. Therefore, it appears quite likely that, over a period of years, if the business is successful, the company stockholders will be placed in a position to exercise the option. The reparations claimants would then receive sub• stantial returns which would not repeat not be a burden upon the Aus• trian economy. If the business is not successful, the reparations clai mants are no worse off than at present. �( . "Since this matter is one of great urgency, I am taking steps to put this plan in oper ation. Informal discussions have been held between members of my staff ahd the Brit Foreign Office in London and I have reason to believe that the plan will have Brit concurrence. Erhardt concurs in plan11 · General Clark sent the following letter to Col. General L. Kurasov, Deputy Commander, · Soviet Forces Austria:: · v. I should like to take this opportunity to thank you for your letter of 24 May and for your prompt consideration of my request for straightline routes for American aircraft infl.ying over Soviet-occupied Austria. This eliminates waste and uncertainty in attempting to fly a dog- leg course . I am sure you appreciate that in flying corridors and air routes emergencies may arise wherein aircraft in distress due to weather or mechanical trouble may be forced to deviate from such routes or corridors . This is one of the chief reasons I hope you will join the British, French and Americans in establishing free air transit over all of Austria for aircraft of the Quadripartite powers. The United States proposal now before the Allied Council recognizes and provides for such emergencies . 11 .Another point we need early agreement on is the manner of clear• ing aircraft to fly over Austria. The value of the airplane is largely nullified by placing time clearance restrictions on its use. The airplane is useful chiefly because it saves time, can take off on short notice, and arrive at destinations long before other means of transit . This is not the case, however, when aircraft clearance restrictions are imposed. The air proposal now before the Council provides for routine clearance procedure in which aircraft may be cleared by filing a flight plan which gives all the details of the flight . In this manner air• craft can be dispatched to carry out important missions in the matter of minutes, thus exploiting the usefulness of air transportation. As you know, this system of clearance is already in effect in all except the Soviet-occupied Zone of Austria. Your approval of the U.S. proposal would make aircraft clearance procedure uniform throughout Austria. "If you will agree to the free use of the air space over Austria · with routine clearance procedure, I am prepared to agree to the im. mediate reestablishment of the Austrian Meteorologic Service to support such flying. 11 11 VENICE, MAY 26, 1946: The General's train arrived at Venice at 1015 hours where the General was met by Brigadier Eve, British Commander of the Venice Area, and Colonel Hume.

According to reference message, coal supply is now a responsibility of UNRRA and Austrian Govt. Present capabilities as stated by UNRRA Austria show no immediate solution to problem. UNRRA Austria Mission states unable to assume responsibility for furnishing coal. Studies on readjustment of UNRRA program show no funds available procurement this essential commodity. Austrian Govt with no foreign exchange, barter deals based on Austrian prQduction and uncertain negotiations with Germany on exchange electric power for coal can produce nothing tangible at present. Furthermore, other Allied powers here have not receivetl information that supply of all items formerly imported thru their military channels for civil use is now responsibility of UNRRA.

Some doubt exists on outcome negotiation with German control group on exchange electricity for coal. Considerable delay in settlement this matter, as US element Germany (BR and FR also) has no directive yet to allow barter deals. No deliveries from this source likely for some months. 11 4. My studied opinion is that present system of procurement allocation and- distribution of coal by military is vital to prevent economic breakdown and consequent chaos.

After a short talk by Colonel Oxx, Commanding Officer of the Peninsula Base Section, the General made the following address: · - ( nWhen the Fifth Army landed on Italian soil almost three years ago, I said that our invasion was one of liberation and not of conquest. ' We had no desire to take anything from the Itali~ people; we wanted no goods, no money, no land . All we asked was a little bit of ground in which to bury our glorious dead. "Here at Castelfiorentino is a bit of that ground . It is sacred ground . Here lie buried many of the gallant men who made the supreme sacrifice . This is a solemn moment as we pause .here this morning to PSY. homage to these men who have died in order to make this world se- ' cure for the peace and freedoms we cherish and bought so dearly . •It is well at this time to reflect, in the memory of the men who rest in this hallowed ground, that the sacrifice they have made was impelled by the sa.~e peace-loving and freedom-loving spirit that brought our nation into the war with our Allies and which was climaxed by the smashing of those mad dogs whose evil forces foolishly sought to conquer the world . 11 1 particularly mention our Allies because the Italian campaign was so thoroughly representative of the unity of thought and action �( that motivated our every move in bringing about the first unconditional surrender of the Nazis in the war. "It was representative because the Fifth Army and Fifteenth Army Group, which I had the honor to command on the road to ultif.mate victory, consisted of Americans, British, Canadian, New Zealand, South African, Australians, Brazilian, French, Polish, Indian, Greek, Palestinian, and Italian troops and Partisans . "Those troops of many races, colors and creeds formed a mighty combination that victorious.J:y battled almost insurmountable odds • tenacious enemy resistance, formidable terrain, and most trying weather conditions - to completely crush the Nazi legions , Never was there,· in my opinion, a more striking illustration of the need and presence of international cooperation and understanding. 11 I further believe that today, as the peace is being writt~n, the achievements of our truly international fighting force in Italy may well be accepted as an example of what such cooperation and understanding among nations can and must bring about. 11 It is so vitally necessary that the nations of the world today share and work toward the same purposeful objective that was constantly in evidence during the long, hard days of the war. · 1 11 The peace and freedom for which we fought and for which the gall ant men whose memory and deeds we are honoring today died, must · be secured . Let us not deviate even momentarily from the same unity of thought and action that guided our efforts to final victory . We must accept !b.ll unity as the beacon to light our way to a sound, ever• lasting peace for all the peoples of the W9rld . 11 And so I say in tribute to our comrades who have fallen and who rest in eternal sleep today, your glories and sacrifices Jdll always glow on the pages of history. We , the living, shall not fail in our task to write a peace worthy of the sacrifice you have made . " After the address, both he and Colonel Oxx placed a wreath at the foot of the flag . Following the ceremony, General Clark decoratedthe gravE'S of Major General Donald w:. Brann and Lt . Colonel John Walker . The General returned to the villa for lunch, while JVirs . Clark and Ann went on a short sightseeing trip to Pisa. General Clark was dinner guest of Mr . Carini. General Clark sent the following message to Joint Chiefs of Staff pass to State Department, Ref. No . P-9098, SECRET: Ref is made to my message P- 8883 and your WAR 87896. Follov,ing is text of letter received by me today from Bri gadier Parminter, Chief of UNRRA Mission Austria: · 'The purpose.cf this letter is to bring to your attention certain facts concerning the allocations for coal within the UNRRA budget for Austria • . 'The UNRRA Mission to Austria has been advised of a statement made to you by the War Dept. to the effect that the UNRRA program for Austria would cover essential relief and rehabilitation items, including coal . At the same time this Mission is assured that no extra funds · will be available for coal above and beyom the present budget . 11 �_, 'This budget has now been tentatively set at a sum of $91,000,000 to cover the period from the beginning of UNRRA operations in Austria to the close of its program at the end of 1946. As $59,000,000 out of this total has already been allocated, and a further $10,000,000 committed, it will be seen that no more than $22,000,000 are available to meet all UNRRA expenditures of whatever nature for the second half 1of the pres·ent calendar year. 'I regret that my advices are not clear concerning the precise intent of the War Dept's cable to you. As you will recall that the $59,000,000 budget for UNRRA operations up to 30 June 1946 included only $2,000,000 for the,procurement of fuels, it is obvious that as to coal even the minimum relief needs of Austria are in no sense met by the UNRRA program. 'Likewise, I need hardly assure you of the serious implications which I must draw from the inferences to be re"ad in my advices from Washington that coal I procured by the United States Forces in Austria should be taken over by UNRRA as a part of the relief program. Inasmuch as the other Elements of the Al.lied Council for Austria have not to my knowledge been approached in this matter, or notified of any propooed cessation of military coal shipments, the effect of an UNRRA purchase of coal procured for the u.s. Zone would necessarily be either to subsidize with UNRRA funds the hard fuel procurement of a single ·zone at the expense of the rest of the country or, in the alternative, to distribute ~oal equally throughout Austria, with a proportionate failure to meet the needs of the American zone. 'Since UNRRA H.Q. in Washingtdn S(:)ems to assume that you wo1. ld . procure coal for UNRRA on such a reimbursable basis, I have dispatched a cable to bring forcefully to their attention the fact that no alternative in the UNRRA fuel program for .A.ustria could be made without the approval of the Austrian Government and the Allied Council. In addition, I have expressed therein my view that the remaining $22,000,000 of the tentative budget for the second half of the calendar year 1946 is insufficient to cover even basic food requirements, and that the alloca• tion of any funds within that sum for the procurement of coal is not to be considered. I have therefore stated my opinion that the very limited nature of the UNRRA relief and rehabilitati.on program for Austria (which in its present form can in fact only be supplemental to ·the overall economic responsibility of the Allied Council) necessarily precludes our importing into -1&.ustria the total relief needs of the country apart from food. I have also assured them that the Jllied Council is party to this understarding. 1.As I have advised Washington that· I am taking no action until I receive further instructions, I should be grateful to receive your views cor cerning this position.• llI am withholding reply to Parminter until after I receive reply to my P-8883 • " * * �( FLORENCE, MAY 31., 1946: The General had breakfast on the front porch at 1000 hours and after posing for the artist and sculptor f or one hour went to the Platzo Vecchio where he and Mrs . · Clark and Ann signed the Golden Book of Florence.

This message is in 2 parts: "Part I . l . After thorough reconsideration it is concluded that WARX. 99226 Directive as previously amended by WARX 86853 , WARX 82436 and as further amended in Part II belov, accords with desirable f oreign policy . Implementation of WARX 99226 should therefore be immediately undertaken. 11 2. Problems presented your cables M arch CC 1929 and P- 5687 considered in formulation of WARX 99226. From the beginning it was decided that restitution would not be made of property removed during the period of a country ' s collaboration with Germany . It was agreed that property could have been looted onl y during the period of forcible occupation of Germany . The legal aspect considered was whether to legitimatize or nullify German looting operations . The decision was made that Germany should not gain from illegal acts at t he expense of her victims . The looting acts violated the principles of January 1943 United Nations declaration and traditional U.S. propert y principles . 11 3 . The U.S. has undertaken Economic and Political responsibil;tties with regard to Italy, Austria and to a lesser extend Hungary . u.s. economic burdens in this connection are reduced through resti tutions of economic resources without corresponding increase of economic burden in Germany . In addition restitution improves the pol i tical stability of u.s. relations with these ,governrnents . Information indicates that anti-u.s . elements in these countries are making capital from the u.s. failure to restore property looted by the Germans after the break of these satellite governments wi.th Germany . Particularly is this true of the Communist Party in Hungary; they cite non- restitution as an indication of lack of interest on the part of Western democracies . �"4• Believed here that the other occupying powers will favor the somewhat restricted restitution policy in WARX 99226 inasmt1eh as France has most urgently pressed for the general principle of restitution, u.s. has supported her view, and USSR has recently presented a note to the U.S. minister requesting and recommending restitution to Hungary. 11 5. Not anticipated here that restitution contemplated under WARX 99226 will significantly affect minimum alloYTed economies of Germany and Austria. . "Part II. 6. Directive in WARX 99226 provides among other things for restitution to the Hungarian Government of property removed from Hungary to Germany and Austria after January 20 1945. It has recently come to the attention of the State Department that some of the removals to Austria consisted of personal property carried by refugee Jewish owners some of whom are now DPs who will not return to Hungary but will stay in Austria or go elsewhere. 11 7. The purpose of WARX 99226 directive is to restore property looted by German forces and their Fascist allies to the countries of origin. It was not intended to dispossess racial or religious refugees. 11 8. Para 6 of WARX 99226 is therefore amended by adding the fol• lowing sentence thereto: "Household goods, valuables, art objects and other personal property owned and removed from a country by refugees who left the country for religious or racial reasons and who choose not to return to that country, will not be subject to restitution." * * * VIENNA, JUNE 17, 1946: General Clark arrived at his office at 0910 hours.

A strong letter of protest has been sent �( to the Soviet Headquarters. The question of removing zonal boundaries in Austria has been under discussion by the Al l ied Council for some time . The American view has always been that such barriers should be eliminated • ., Mr. Erhardt send the following message to SECSTATE, No . 872, SECRET , paraphrase: 11 Replying to the next to the last paragraph of the State Dept's 514 of May 24 requesting suggestions concerning US aid in the economic ' C . reconstruction of Austria, i t i s cl ear that the most important aid which the US alone could properly extend would be credits for the immediate purchase in the US of raw material s and urgently needed equipment until Austria becomes a member of the Intl Bank and Fun~ . (Ref Genl Clark ' s P-{)846 of June 13 on an Austrian request for US cotton ,on credit, and my 767 of May 29 on t he Creditanstalt 1 s request for a credit of $25,000 , 000 from the Export- Import Bank • .Additional requests for Export-Import Bank credit are being prepared by the Austrian ministries; the amount involved might be $25 , 000,000 more for use in a six-months ' period or $75 , 000 , 000 more in a twelve-months ' period . ) 11 The question raises major political issues . The Communist newspapers in Vienna have been putting pressure on the Austrian Govt to negotiate a long- term trade agreement with Russia and to set up joint Aus.trian-Soviet corporations for Danube shipping, oil , and ·perhaps other key industries as well . A trade agreement with the USSR is now advocated also by the Sovialists , including Waldbrunner in Moscow. Russia is probably willing to promise substantial assfatance in the form of raw materials and f ood in return for acceptance of the Soviet terms by Austria . Unless substantial United States credits are for thcoming, the Austrian Government or a successor gover:qment with a larger representation of the Communist Party , may nave no practical alternati ve but to meet the demands of the USSR . I concur heartily in the view expressed in the State Dept ' s 514 that if t he U.S . is prepared to extend concrete assistance it should do so or at least give convincing evidence of its intentions before Austria's relations with Russia fall into a pattern , bound to last some years , of exclusive economic association. This may occur at any time in view of the present critical economic and ·political situation. "Since present Austrian stocks of raw materials are approaching exhaustion and equipment is wearing out daily, a prompt decision on t he principle of granting US credits is needed for economic reasons also . Only a negligible provision for industrial and agricultural rehabilitation and for coal is included in the UNRRA program. 11 Austrian .economic reconstruction now depends primarily on increased supplies of food . Likewise political independence because on 1200 calories or less people care more about food than liberty . In the case of food , US assistance can take the form of strong support for an adequate UNRRA program and pressure for effective implementation. UNRRA ' s present tentative $91,000,000 progranr, even though devoted almost entirely to food , and even if carried out on schedule , -is not adequate to prevent widespread distress . Further- �l4l more, the effective implementation of this inadequate program is not assured as yet . If t he reported diversion to Italy of a 17 , 000 ton wheat shipment destined for Austria should take place it would have disastrous nutritional and political consequences . This week brief scattered strikes involving s everal thousand workers have begun to occur in Vienna as a protest against the food situation. Addl scattered strikes are expected, and the possibility of a general strike continues to threaten. Disillusionment with the western democracies has resulted from t ri e inadequacy of the UNRRA relief program to date . 11 I trust the State Dept is making every effort to obt ain an increase in UNRRA 1 s program for Austria and effective execution of it . It will also be appreciated if the State Dept could obtain cl arification of t he responsibilities of UNRRA and the War Dept . The latter has terminated its responsibility for civilian supplies for Austria and its responsibility for preventing disease and unrest . (See WA.RX 85514 , Apr 24 and 57896, 14 May . ) UNRRA. however has assumed responsibility only for the items within its program and to the extent of its funds . Therefore , it appears that no agency is responsible for assuring Austria's minimum requirements pf coal , and the other relief and rehabilitation supplies which are essential to the long-term US objectives in Austria . "While much less important than credits and the UNmlA program, various measures lying within the power of the US element of the Allied Commission are being taken in Vienna to facilitate tpe economic reconstruction of Austria . Such measures include pressing for quadripartite .approval of (a) provisional exchange rates , (b) instructions to the Austrian Government requiring more vigorous measures of food col l ection, (c) arrangements for obtaining from Germany minimum essential imports , (d) trade arrangements with other countries, and (e) Austrian membership in international organizations . Such measures also include, in the US zone , arrang:i.ng for the sale to Aus trians for Schill ings of OEM, chiefly vehicles . , "We are keeping in view long-r ang:3 measu.res for economic devel,opment in Austria, including cooperative pro.jects for the development of t he whole Danube Basin under UN aus pices , but until the present emergency is past and political factors become more clear no planning for such matters can usefully be undertaken .
