Paris Peace Conf. 181.921/58
The President of the Day, Interallied Military Mission, to General Mardarescu of the Roumanian Army
It was agreed at the Conference on Sept 19th last, at which your Excellency was present, that the Committee of which Colonel Berthon is President should proceed to Siófok to report upon the condition of Admiral Horthy’s Army. It was also accepted by your Excellency that if the conclusion of the report should be that Admiral Horthy’s Army had neither the intention nor sufficiently organized strength to be a danger to the Royal Roumanian Army, your Excellency would give orders for the withdrawal of all troops in Transdanubia to a bridge head with a radius of 20 Kilometers round Buda.
It is understood that your Excellency intends to leave Budapest on Thursday next, September 25th, and as Colonel Berthon’s report can not be received before September 26th, it is requested that your Excellency will either await the report, or will arrange that the General Officer who will be entrusted with the command of your Army during your absence may be invested with authority to order the withdrawal of the troops to the bridge head, should the report referred to give the assurance that there is no danger of an attack by Admiral Horthy’s Army.
The Interallied Mission attach the greatest importance to being able to inform the Supreme Council of the Peace Conference that the Royal Roumanian Army has been withdrawn to the bridge head.
