two-way process Were this
lawsuit to go through, it would be a
disaster ”
In Hungary the feeling that its
ancient crown should be returned
is equally firm, espec ially since

hindrances to good relations with
the US. such as the late Josef

hands anyway) could not be
moved
The situation is highly
paradoxical because Washington.
Ur ague, and Budapest for some
years have been working hard to
normalize relations, boost trade,
and improve other exchanges
Ijst year, the US and
Czechoslovakia initialed an
agreement covering gold and
property claims, as well as an
understanding over reunion of
divided families A few mcmths
later, however, it was rejected by
the Senate Finance Committee in
an amendment to the trade bill
barring transfer of the gold until
the original American claims
were met in full
A further complication has since
arisen with a lawsuit filed in the
US seeking powers to sell the gold
and pay off the claimants with the
proceeds.
A senior American official here
said the State Department is
fighting this suit as hard as it can
and we think it should be
dismissed. We hope we can
overcome these difficulties," he
added, and that we shall finalize
this claims agreement and give
the Czechs the gold which is theirs
by treaty."
A senior Prague government
official commented Hie gold is
ours by right, there can be no
question of that We want also to
continue the dialogue with the US,

Eighteen tons of gold bullion and
a thousand-year-old golden
crown both in American custody
since World War II are blocking
US detente moves in relations
with Czechoslovakia and
Hungary.
Both items were anxmg the loot
taken by the Nazis in occupied
Eastern Europe.
The crown belonged to
Hungary's first (hnstian king.
Stephen, and is venerated by
Hungarians generally as a
national treasure and a symbol of
independent statehood It was
seized by retreating Fascist forces
in 1945 and handed over to the US
Army in (iermany
The gold bullion was part of
Chechoslovakia's prewar reserve
of 45 tons After the war, the
Western allies pooled all stolen
bullion recovered in Germany and
shared it among the claimant
European countries
Only six of 26 tons allotted the
Czechs had been returned,
however, when the US blocked the
rest pending payment by Prague's
new Communist government of
compensation for nationalized
American properties
Czechoslovakia has always
claimed the gold was subject to
tripartite ruling by the three
allies. Britain and France
concurred and were willing to
release it But, without agreement
