Hungary seeks further aid to stabilize postwar economy
The note expresses hopes for continued aid to Hungary to reinforce postwar political and economic stability as agreed at Yalta. It recalls Moscow’s rejection of three U S proposals and notes Britain’s role in the Yalta framework and Hungary’s control council status in Budapest. It cites a British view that a Kovacs espionage charge is preposterous and mentions Russian troops reduced from about a million to under 100 thousand. The Hungarian peace treaty terms call for withdrawal of all troops within 90 days of the treaty’s effective date except to safeguard lines to Austria.
