confidential

Belgrade, July 5, 1947—8 a. m.

753. Despite what Bebler¹ told me Tuesday (Embtel 734 July 1 repeated Rome 72²) I understand Italian Treaty has not yet been ratified by Presidium. Reason given by Foreign Office is that ratification should first be completed for Bulgarian and Hungarian treaties since these are now considered friendly nations.

Sent Department as 753, repeated Rome 78.

1. Aleš Bebler, Yugoslav Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs.
2. Not printed; in it Cabot reported that: “Bebler informed me today that Yugos would ratify Italian treaty this afternoon.” (740.0011 EW (Peace)/6–147)
