61 STAT.] MULTILATERAL-PEACE WITH HUNGARY-FEB. 10 , 1947 2119 2. All unused Hungarian currency and all Hungarian goods in posses- sion of the Allied forces in Hungary, acquired pursuant to Article 11 of the Armistice Agreement, shall be returned to the Hungarian Government within the same period of 90 days. 3. Hungary shall, however, make available such maintenance and facilities as may specifically be required for the maintenance of the lines of communication with the Soviet zone of occupation in Austria, for which due compensation will be made to the Hungarian Government. PART V REPARATION AND RESTITUTION Article 23 1. Losses caused to the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia by military operations and by the occupation by Hungary of the territories of these States shall be made good by Hungary to the Soviet Union, Czecho- slovakia and Yugoslavia, but, taking into consideration that Hungary has not only withdrawn from the war against the United Nations, but has also declared war on Germany, the Parties agree that compensation for the above losses will be made by Hungary not in full but only in part, namely in the amount of $300,000,000 payable over eight years from January 20, 1945, in commodities (machine equipment, river craft, grain and other commodi- ties), the sum to be paid to the Soviet Union to amount to $200,000,000, and the sum to be paid to Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia to amount to $100,000,000. 2. The basis of calculation for the settlement provided in this Article will be the United States dollar at its gold parity on the day of the signing of the Armistice Agreement, i.e. $35 for one ounce of gold. Article 24 1. Hungary accepts the principles of the United Nations Declaration of January 5, 1943, and shall return, in the shortest possible time, property removed from the territory of any of the United Nations.
