nJTRODUOTI0N

This} the fom¡th report on UlV aruninistration o~ the Bri~ish/United states ~one of the Free ~erritory o~ Trieste, deals uitr. the period fTom 1 JUly to 30 September 1948; and narl~ the end of one year of Allied Military Government unuer the terns of Article 1 of Annex VI: of the ~taaty of Peace

'Wi~h

Italy.

l:..l1wn i--:, became clear that the IJeriod of military government was Ji.ikely

to continua longer than I had bad reason to anticipate} I directed the Allied Hilitary Govornment to set in motion a series of prov-essive meesttres aimed at a gradual return to normal crnldit:ons of local self

l

government in so far as this conIc be done without prejudice to the security

I

of the population. These stages, which have been deliberate and cautious, have been described in my previous ~eports and, now that they have been cor.solidated, I am prepared to move on to the final step of holding co:rnmuno.l elections. Instructions hava therefore boen issued for the

prepe.:ratioll of electoral !'olls.. This task is one of peculiar difftculty in that the Treaty of Peace with Italy does not provide for the o~canization of local ~:ections until the establish~ent of the Constituent Assembly for the vhole of the Free Territo~ after the ass~ption of office by the Governor. COflilllunal elections 'will therefore be orscnized so as to follow the general Italian pattern to Hhich tll,e ce.retuker edruin1stration aOheres, pending the establishmont of the ultimate government of the territory. 'tho po:::'i ticDl ei tuoticn :in tl!:J Zona dUriIlB tho poat thl"oO months

has been remarkable only for the strongly defined schism which has divid~d the ~Hn](S of looal communists as a result of the Cominform indictmont of Marshal Tito and the Yugoslav Conmunist Party. It is important to note, towever, that the sudden and strident

\.

ant~eoniSIDS

genorated by this development have no~ in any uay altered the h08tile attitUde of either faction towards my administration. ~hG Con~unist campair,n of agi~aticn, distortion and vilification continues, as does their verbal and flr.uncial support for these so~called :ndependence organizations and fronts which arc prepared to lond the~selves as stalking horses for communist inflltretion.

Meanwhile ~hG grOYlth of confidence in the future, to Hhich I referred in my last report, bas steadily continued. In this connection I must pay tribute to the soundness and resilience of Triestine conmorcial and industrial circles and the ÂŁTee l~bour groupsJ and to the ready co-operation which I have received from tte Italian Government in supplying the financial needs of the Zone in accordance with the Peace Treaty. On thi.s firm ground Allied Military Goverrune:J.t hss been able to lay down the fou-'1detion of its plans for the econon;ic rehabilitation of' rrrieste within the framework of jtho European

The Mcessity for co-ordinating the Zone's ERP plan idth that of Italy and for regular consultation on matter~ connected with the ~N budget has led to the formation of El. MiJred riiconomic Conur.ission 'Yrhich is to maet in Rome at recular intervals. The functions of this Mixed Cooonission and the
