GENERAl REVIEW

This Report, my second and the 'twelfth of the series, deals with the administration of the Br~tish/United States Zone of the Free Territory of Trieste for the year 1952. Pursuant to the Memor~ndum of Understanding which was signed in on 9 May 1952, I appointed, during the latter half of the yeox, a number of senior Italian officials to the Allied Military Government who, under a Senior Director of Administration, were responsible to rr.e for much of the internal administration of the Zone. A copy of the London ~~morandum of Understanding is attached at Appendix "A" to this Report. Administrative Elections were held id all Communes of the Zone in May 1952. In the Communes of ~rieste and Huggia the "linked listll system was used, under which the party or gr~up of "linked" parties polling the greatest number ,of votes sec'J:r-ed t1W thirds of the seats; in the rl;mai:::-.i:lg f'our Communes a form of proportional representation was retained. The results shqwed that in the Commune of Trieste, where approximately 90 per cent of the total population of the Zone is concentrated, the Christian Democrats remained the largest single party:

"Tith the other three 11 centre 11 po.rties they command a majority on the Council. I am again pleased to re~ort that in be~eral 'tl~ economic recovery of the Zone continued, and that a further inc.reo.se ,-ms regiD~ered in industrial production. Owing to the completion o~ the ship-building programme laid down in 1950) the total tonnage of new shipping constructea during the year was slight~y lower than that of 1951. A new prograffiIlle has, however, been drawn up which should ensure full employment in the Zone's y~rds during 1953/54. Owing principally to increcsed competition from the Gerrr.an North Sea Ports, commercial traffic through the Port of Trieste shm·red a slight decline. This situation was carefully watched and meas~es were studied in concert with other interested railway administrations with a view to preventing further deterioration. In pursuance of the policy outlined in my previous reports, developreent of the Zaule Industrial Area continued to be encouraged by every means. In this urea a total of twe~ty-six i~d~strial plan~s were already operating, or in course of co~pletion, an increase of ten over 1951. Page e

The emplo~ent situation showed little change. The number of registered employed decreased during the year by some 1,500, and the monthly average of registered unemployed remained around 19,000. On 30 June 1952, the M.S.A. Mission in Trieste "~s closed and the Zone was included in the sphere of the M.S.A. Mission to . Lire counterpart funds from former E.R.P.aid continued ~ be used for loans for ship-building and other industries. Nearly all imports from the dollar area were paid for ,vith lIfreell dollars made available by the Italian Governreent. The overall improvement in the financial situation of the Zone continued in 1952, a further slight' reduction being achieved in the budgetary deficit. I wish to acknowledge the fact that this was, as in previous years, met by the Italian Government. A special effort was made to increase the rate of construction of popular housing for which the demand showed no signs of slackening. A total of 2,000 million lire was allocated from the ZoneTs budget and 1,133 apartments were completed or nearly completed during the course of the year" The rr.aximum assistance was also given to private initiative in this sphere. Movement through the Zone~s Displaced Persons' camps was on a much reduced scale, arrivals totalling 2,018 and departures 2,416. The Camp population at the end of the year stood at 3,924. I am most grateful to the Intergovernrr.ental Committee for European Migration which, with already established Welfare Organizatio~s, rendered valuable assistance. 8/3156 English Page 9

SECTION I

Tile Eccncll,ic Situr:>.tion

1. Dollcr Allocations

At the er-d of J'.llle 1952, the M'.:.tual Security Agency (~'lSA) Mission in Trieste was closed, cnd the Zone 1ms included in the sphere of the MsA Mission to Italy. During the year a total of 910,052 dollars ~rom the bala~~e of allocations under the formzr Euro~ean Recovery Progr~rr~e were used, principally for the importation of bread grains frCID the United Stc.tes. The Italian Governrr.ent provided a total of 11.1 million dollcrs, compared With approximately 7.5 million a,ollars in 1951, for the purchase of a wide variety of necessary impo:!.'ts f:L~om the dollar area. The chief of these ,.ere crude l:Li.Leral oil, bread grains,_ ir~n and steel, c.nd non-ferrous metals. In June an agreerrent was reached with the Italian Governreent whereby the latter assureed t~e reliponsibility of supplying the Allied Military Government t s requiren:ents of b7:ecd e:::-ains at a price that would ensure the continuation of the COITt~oJIEd price of bread and ~astd in the Zor~. ERP/MSA imports ~re shown at Appendix B, and ~urchases with dollars provided by the Italian GoverllIllent at Appendix Bl.

2. Cost of Living

'Ihe cost of living again rose slightly durint3 the year. The index (1938 = 100) ,.hieh stood at 4,964 in Junuary, raca to 5,148 in April, and after receding in the course 'of the surmr.er to 5]0(;0 hc.d returned to th,) April figure at the end of the year. rn~e monthly average was 5,055 as compared with 4,892 :i,n 1951. The index for clothi~~g declined from 6,640 in January to 5,449 in Decemcer, thus reversi~g the tre~d recorded in the ea~ly m04ths of 1951, when it was increasing in consequence of a general rise 1:1 world prices of rm., n:aterials. The cost of hOl~sil1g advanced :'rom 766 to 970, reflecting a further legal increase in refits. The cost of foods'~uff's, utilit,ies and miscellaneous items followed apPl~0Xim9.tely the trer:.d of the General Ind8x. 8/3156 English Paga 10

A table showing the average monthly expenditure in lire of the typical family on the various iteres that go to make up the cost of living index, and the variations of th2. index for the years 1938, 1551 and 1952, is given at Appendix C.

D'L1ring 1952, the Allied Milita:r-y Goverl:.ment granted leans totall:~ng 3,332 million lire to assist local business, industry and pUblic utilities. Rather more than half of these loans were financed from ER? Counterpart Funds, and the remainder through the Allied Military Governrr.ent bUdget. The for~er included 1128 million lire for shipbuilding, 325 million lir8 for the 2nd and 3rd stages of the constrt:ction of a cotton mill, and 100 million lire for the construction of a raper works. The principal lr.ans from budgetary ~und8 were' 307 million lire to an electricity distributing company, 300 million lire for the improvereent and extension of the local telephone service and 210 million lire to the General Warehouses Co~pany. In addition, 850 million lire was lo::med to private ind:.vic.uals from the BuilCiing Development Fund, 230 million lire to build.ing contractors, and 842 million lire vias invested in low-rellt popular housing. The Small and Medium Loans Fund and the tlrree loan funds, established in cooperation with local banks, lent a total of 37; million lire to small businesses, artisans and cooperatives during the year. Approxi~ately 250 million lire of this sum was advanced by the Allied Military Government. 8/3156 Engl:!.sh.. Page 11

Fin~ncial Situation

The Zone's finances continued to improve. The sat5.sfactory position of the "ordinary" b1.:.dget was achieved in spite of pay increases awarded to all f?tatal employees in June 1952.' ~hese increases ranged from 5% to 45%, and ~ere. retrcactive .:to.l July 195L .. "Extro.ord;inal'Y" expenditure in the form of hOll!." I t:cl sUbs~idie~ ,and:,lcans to industry and pu.olic utilities continued at a high leveL The final def~cit for the first half year of 1952 which was underwritten by the, Italian Governn:ent amo.unted to lt .~651 million lire. This was some 841 million lire lessth~n originally estimated. The Italian Government1s contribution included 1,001 mj.llion lire as ~ special grant ~o tile Triestt7 shipbuilding progTaIm:e, and. J+, 292 million lire representing the net difference between revenue collected in the British-United States Zone on behalf of the Italian Republ~c and revenue collected in Italy on behalf of the Zone. The difference bet"een the f inal deficit and the Italian Goverl?T.2nt' s cuntributions,vQs rep::'esented by increased revenues an6.. economief? in prior b~dgetary periods. The estimated deficit f~r:t0e seco~~ half year of 1952 was 5,760 million lire, an increase of 500 lnillion lire .over ~h~ ccmpa~~blefigure for 1951. In addition the Italian Treasury provided some 712 m±lli?ll lire as a sUbsid~ to shipbUilding. There was a further ·n:arked increase iu savings during the year. A table I ,. -. sho~'~ng the p')si~ton of deposits an~ current accounts ,Tith the banks· and post ~ffice co~pared with 1~51 is at Appendix D.

SECTION III

1. Gcne.1,,'al

There was a further increase in industrial production in the Zone during 1953, the index (1939 ~ 100) rising from 113.7 in 1951 to 127.9 in 1952.

This increase ,vas shared generally among the Zone I s major industrieG, with the notable exception of the vegetable oil refineries which continued t~ eJ~erience difficulty in obtaining raw 1ndustries o Modernisation of the plants of the ILVA SteeJ. Mill, the Aquila Oil Refinery and the Trieste Jute Mill, was almost cO~Jleted and their output rose accordingly.

2. Zaule Industri.al Area

The process o~ broadening tIle base of the Zone's econooy, which is at present largely dependent on shipouilding and on traf'fic throu.;h the Pert, was continued. Progress was moot conspicuous in the zaule Industrial Area. The first pUblic works programne, designed to prepare this area for the reception and development of new industries, was completed, and the second programme, complementary to the first, was started. During the year, 394 million .lire were mad.e available by the Allied Military Governillr:nt for the general development of the area, raising to 1,645 million lire, the total funds approI':r-iated for this project since its inception. At the end of the year there were 26 industries already operating or in course of completion in the area, with a total capital investment of over 13,000 million lire. Among those whose construction was started dur~ng the year were the S. Giusto Cotton Mill and the Trieste Glass Horks, v7hile work continued on the Italcementi Cement vlorks, a match factory and a wool spinning milL The construction of a further six plants is planned for the near future with a capital investment of about 3,000 million lire. 8/3156 English Page 13

SECTION IV

Labour

During 1952 the nl@ber of regiotcred e~~loyed decreased fro~ 90,575 in January to 89,058 in December, a trend. that 'Ims partl~T reflected in an increase in the nu.:nber of r'3giete:t:'ecl unemploJ'ed from 13,852 to 19,185 over the same period. This movement was due chiefly to a decline L1 the number of persons attending re-q:ualification COl:rses and work~·rel:'ef schemes. TIle total num~er of work permits issued to Italicn citizens coming 1~~om outside the Zone was 1,477 on 31 December 1952 compared with 1,785 on 31 December 1951. The num"ber of such perm:::'ts issued to a1:1.en5 showed a similar decrease. Most of these were for building operatives • .\ total of 182 strE-.:es "lere called during the year involving 209,000 workers and the loss of 627,269 1'1Orl;::'ng hours. It is estim~ted that wage adjustments obtained by about 75 per cent of the registered employed more than offset the slight rise in the cost of living. Hc.rkers in both iriiustry £md comnerCA "benefitted :'rO!)l an increase in rea!. 'Ivages of be~deen 3 per cent and 8 per cent.

Fublic Workl!

The budget :for the Dzpar-:r:lent of }\lblic Wox:'s and utilities :ror 1952 amounted to 5,286 million lire. Housing Ivas again the principle item, accounting :ror ,nearly 50 per cent of' the total. Other :major items vere: .york relief' and re-qualification courses, 18 per cent; rC3ds and sewers, 12 ~er cent; public buildings, including schools and hospit&.ls, 8 per cent. A loan of 300 millj.on lire was granted to a power company in order to secure continuity of the supply of' electric pover to the Cornr.une of' Trieste •. Other important Public Horks carried out d't~ril1g the year included the

continuation of work 011 a sec(j~ldary SC~1.ool and. a reformatory, the init:i.ation of work on a new settlement for refugees, and the eJrtensive repair and resur:racing o:r roads ~y hot bituminization. Details of the housing progrw~e, showing the'number of apartments constructed during 1952 compared With prev'ious years and the extent to whi~h they were financed by the Allied Military Gover~ent are given at ADpendix I. 8/3156 English Page 16

SECTION VI

Traffic through the Port of Trieste Qurinz 1952 again showed an overall increase. A total of 6.9 million tons vral'3 hanrEedcop.lpared With 6.6 milHon tons in 1951, and 5.4 million tono in 1938. This increase was wholly accounted for by movement of goods by sea which rose "by 340,000 tons cO!ri.]?ared vrith 1951, vrhereas movement by rail aecreased by nearly 70,000 tons.

Tra:f:fic was.... again most intenDe during' the earl:>r part of the year, vTi th 9­ decided falling off in the last qaarter. The :Lowest monthly figure recorded. was 411,800 tons i),1 December. Coods handlec:. followed the same pattern as in re'cent years, the bulk being formed by Austrian timber for the Levant and crude mineral oils, from Syria and Lei)anon. Conrpetition fro:l'the ITorth Sea Ports" to which reference vTaS made in my last repcJrt continued, and ivas- principally responsible f\~ the decline in rail traffic.' Of particular significance was the' decision ta ;,;:.1 on the initiative of the Ger:!.(?:J. Railivays at a Conf'erence held in Linz in NO~·c:i.'iO"'r, to terminate tariff ag-..ceements reGulating traffic to and from Austria. 'J.:n...ie with YUG;o sl8.via increased, monthly i:uports tl:J.rough the frontier clearinG accollnt amountine; to an aV ..3rac:; of 76 million lire and exports to 47 ~tillio~ lire" an increase over 1951 of 18 per cent fu~d 19 per cent respectively. The principle items imported ilere livestoc~" timber and fish. Exports included machine tools" electrical ec;,'.lir;r.:cnt, fru~ts m:d rice. Imports from the Yugoslav Zone of tGe Free Territory, at a ~onthly ~7erage of 63 million lire, showed an inc~ease of 31 per cent as compared ~lith 1951" and exports at a monthly average of 52 r.1illion lire" an increaze of' 66 per cent. These i'ig'...'lres exclude charges for the hospitalization of YUGoslav Zone ~atients in Tries~e hospitals which amounted to apl)roxi:'t'J.tely 15 million lire during tl1e year. Except tl:at wine featured as one of the principle imr:orts" goods traded 'VIe:re l'r.uch the san:e as those traded with Yugoslavia. Foreign trade statistics are shown at Ap:pendi:lC J. Page 17

S,E.CTION VII'

A~ricu1ture, Fore.2-t rL und Fisheries O,.;ring to bad weather which caused considerable dama.ge to crops and generally hampered field work, the year 1952 was a poor one for agriculture. The crop harvest was.30per cent. below !lOrroll~ and livestock prices remained at a low leveL In spite of a shortage of foc1der, the incidence of disease among cattle was not, however, exceptional. ,T..1e ~otal value of agricultural production, including livestock, was estimated at 1,900 mill:i.on lire against 2,300 million lire in 1951. Progress was made in lan.d reclamation and re-afforestation projects, and, in addition, the Allied Military Govern~ent contrib~ted 66 million lire, representing about one-third of tpe tota,l cost of .414 land impro~ament projec~6. • t.' : Agricultural training courses;and eXl~rimental work continued nOlwally, and grants were made for the purchaae of concentrated cattle feed, p1.ants, and farm machinery, as well as for the importation of pedigree cattle. " The fish catch at 3.8 million kgs. was some 5 per cent lower tllan in 1951, and exports fell by about 10 per cent.

SECTION VIII ;tnter::la:1:...Affeiut

le Education The new school year opened on 7 October 1952 with 31,785 pupils attending the various statal schools in the Zone, an increase of 439 over the attendance for the previous year. In spite of a slight improvement in the number of class rooms available, the shortage which has pel"siated since the "13.1' still necessitated the organization of morning and afternoon shifts in many of the schools. Free school lunches continued to be provided to needy pupils in the elementary and training sanoa!s. Those assisted ill this way during the 1951/1952 .school year numbered 3,427 in the Ita.lian, ana. 1,384 in the

schools. During the SUi1lll1er, about 7,000 school children spent a month I s holiday in the' mouhtains or by the sea. The number would have been greater but for an outbreak of scarlet fever which necessitated the curtailing of the programme at 'a· number of the Car.lpS. The kindergartens, of which there' are 48 distributed throughout the Zone, continued to function normally. The new academic year was inaugurated at Trieste University on 16 Novomber with 2,124 undergraduates inscribed in the various faculties. This compares with 2,638 '\'1ho attended courses during the year 1951/1952. A new school for specialists in Labour and Social Security Legislation was added to the faCUlty of law.

2. ~blic H3.alth

The genera~ standard of health in the Zone during 1952 was satisfactory. Mild epidemics of measles and scarlet fever which developed during the year gave no cause for a.larm. The anti-tuberculosis campaign continued to give encouraging results, 574 new cases being reported compared with 692 in 1951. There is still, however, much to be done in this field. Both the birth and death rates, at respectively 9.45 and 11.36 per thousand inhabitants, were slightly lower than in 1951. Work on the new !tOO bed sanitorium in Trieste continued. Completion of this hospital will release badly needed beds in other hospitals which in the post-1'iar period have had temporarily to be put at the disposal of tubercular patients.

w er , mg.L1sn Page 19

During the year a new Institute for Anatomy f!.nd Patho~log:( ~s ~stablished in Trieste General Hospital, and 180 million lire was appropriated by the Allied Military Government for the creation of a Centre for the' Diagnosis and Treatment of Cancer, designed to provide free treatment for those who are unable to ];:6y'. A valuable contribution to the improvement of the Zone's health services was made by the World Health Organization, which put at the disposal of the I Allied Military Government seven scholarships to enable local doctors to attend university clinics in the United Kingdom, United Stat~l3, and Gernany. The incidence of infectious diseases is shown at Appendix K.

3. Social ASsJ:!:ltance

Exp~nd1ture for relief and social services again increased in 1952. Public assistance in its various forms cost 1,623 million lire, compared with 1,483 million lire in 1951., The increase was partly due to salary increases granted to the personnel of the various agencies concerned, but for the mdst part to a revision of invalid and old age pensions, and to an increase in the number of families reguiring direct financial assistance. During the winter 1951/1952 42 million lire was again distributed by the Winter Relief Fund Committee to needy families. During the latter part of. the year, with the collaboration of two experts loaned by the'United Nations Organization, the Allied Military Government initiated a comprehensive study of the 'organization of social as'sistance in the Zone. When completed, this study should enable a more rational approach to be made to the problem.

4. Census of the Population'

Checking of the materi~l obtained from the census of the population held on 4 November 1951 was completed in March 1952. The number of permanent residents of the Zone was 296,229, of whom 138,200 WE;:re males and 158,029 females, representing an in.-;rease of 25,657 since the census of 21 April 1936. There was a total of 77,977 living guarters containing 249,039 habitable rooms. This was eguivalent to an O{~cupation quota of 1.19 persons per room.

The oamp pOlmlo;rilO:.1 'fellfrcm 4;218 on 31 December 1951 to 3,443 at the end of July 19~2'" The flow then took an up11ard trend and by the en<;1 of the yer'.r 'bile figure stood at 3,924. Migration activities continued, but it became 'more difficult to settle refugees overseas mainly for reasons connected with limitations on immigration opportunities in overseas area.s. Ueverthe1es~, departures during the year numbered 2,416 against 2,018 arrivals. TIle couutrieG of origin of these arrivals and other statistics concerning refugees and optants are given at Appendix P. The International Refugee Organization ceased o~erations early in the year and wa.s succeeded by the Provisionr..l Intar-eovern.'llental Committee for the Movement of Migrants from Europe. This organization, later renamed

Inter-governmental Committee for European Migration, established El. branch office in Trieste, and together ~dth the alTeady esta.blished welfare organization rendered most valuable assistance. The ~osition of aged and infirm refugees still presents many difficulties, but S·W'itzerle.nd, Nor1·ray, and Sweden generously provided permanent homes for many of these unfortunates. Effcrts on thair behalf continue, and construction of a new camp was started where they can be accommodated in more suitable surroundings. The tubercular sanitorium, referred to in my last report, was completed and is in full use. It has greatly facilitated the work of the medical staff in examining all refugees, and has also shown encouraging resulto in checking the course and diffusicn of this disease. The health of the refugees in general also improved. In marked contrast to the movement of refugees, the influx of optants for Italian nationality from that part of Venezie, Giulia ceded to YugoslEwla under the provisions of the Italian Peace Treaty has practically ceased. Whereas in 1951 there were 5,587 such optants, in 1952 their number fell to 78,

In spite of the considerable expenditure connected with the progrwmne of modernization and expansicn of services 't,,'hich was referred to in my last repor"t, a reasonable profit was shown for the year by the Post and Telecommunications administration'. A pictuI'e telegraph service was ina.ugurated vlnich ep.ables pictures to be sent or received by telephone land-line connected to most of the princi};lal European cities. A radio telephone link between Trieste and Venice . , ' was installed, which has the possibility of future expansion and simultaneous use for television.

HEMORANDUN OF UND:cRSTANDIl\'G

In accordance with the decision announced on the 27th March, 1952, and with a view to arriving at arrangements for a closer collaboration among themselves and with the local authorities in the adnlinistration of Zone A, the Governments e1' Italy, the United Kingdom and the .United states have approved the following' conclusions and understandings reaclled by their representatives.

2. The three Governments have started from the premises, which they all share that such arrangements should be of a nat~re so as not to prejudice the ultimate solution of the future of the Territory as a whole and so as to continue to ensure to all inhabitants of the Zor-e the enjoYffient of human rights and fundamental freedom without distincticn as to race, sex, language or religion.

3. Since the Governments of the United Kingdom and the United States retain the responsibilities with regard to the ad~inistration of Zone A devolving on them under the Treaty of Peace with Italy, particularly Annex VII thereof, the Commander of the United Kingdo~ and L11ited States troops retain all power of government in the Zone. 4. Taking the foregoing into account, the three Governments have approved the following arrangements. 5. An Italian Political Adviser to the lone Commander will be appointed by the Italian Government to represent it in all matters affecting Italy in regard to the Zone. The Italian Political Adviser will have a status similar to that of the United Kingdom and United States Political Advisers.

6. A Senior Director of Administration will be proposed by the Italian Government and will be appointed by the Zone Commander. The Senior Director of Administration will be responsible to the Zone Commander and under the latter's direction will administer, by means of two directorates, the functions of civil government indicated in the following sub-paragraphs. He will have under his admin:is tration:

(a) a Directorate of Interior consisting of tbe following branches: Local Government (Zone Presidency and Communes), Department of Labour, Department of Social Assistance, Public Health Office, Education Office, Census and Survey Office, Fire Service.

7 7 Page 25

(b) a Directorate of Finance and Economics consisting of the following b~ancheG: Department of Corr~erce) Department of Production) Department of Finance (including Customs and Finance Guards)) Department of Transportation) Department of Public Horlm and utilities ('I'1ith the exception of construction and, housing for the United Kingdom and united States troops)) Office of Agriculture and Fisheries) Loans Section.

7. Italians in a nQ~ber adequate to ensure efficient administration of the directorates) departments and offices n:entioned in paragraph 6 above 'Ifill be proposed by the Italian Government and will in the same manner be appointed by the ZOl1e COIlll!!ander to staff those directorates) departments and offices. They shall be responsible to the Zone Cownander through the Senior Director of Administration. Perso:1S appointed in accordance ""ith the provisions of this paragraph and of puragraph 6 above n:ay be replaced by the Zone Commander) who shall ask the Italian Governme::lt to I«QipoSla their successors. The Italian Government retains the right to reoall persons proposed by it) on due notification to the Zone Cormnander. Employees who have been recruited locally and 'I'1ho are nOl'1 exercising civil functions in the Military Government will be retained to the maximum practicable extent; any dismissal shall be effected with the prior approval of the Zone Commander.

8. While it is intended initially to retain the present organisation of the directorates administered by the Senior Director of Administration, he may recorr~end modifications thereof to the Zone Crnmnander and effect them 'I~ith the latter's approval.

9. The three Governments have noted the intinate connexions that exist between the economy of the Zone and the Italian economy as a whole and the essential contribution that is made to the well-being of the Zone by the Italian Government. The three Governments therefore reaffirm that all the existing Economic and Financial Agreements bet'l,reen them concerni::lg Zone A) and the u~derstandings reached pursuant thereto) remain in full force and effect. Security controls over international trade shall continue to be administered by lmited Kingdom and United states officers appointed by and responsible to the Zone Cor~lander.

10. The Governments of the United Kingdom and the United states v1ill instruct the Zone Comrr.ander concer:1ing the applic.~tion of the present organisation of the Military Government, in order to carry out the provisions of this Memorandum of Understanding as soon as practicable with a view to substantial corr.pletion by the 15th July 1952.
