“MERE VASSAL”
OF ROME-BERLIN AXIS
HUNGARY’S NEW STATUS.
AS VIEWED IN SOVIET CIRCLES.
By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. MOSCOW, February 3.
Explaining Russia’s severance of diplomatic relations with Hungary, the official Soviet News Agency says: “As a result of the Munich agreement Hungary has lately been subjected to strong pressure by certain States to whom she has too easily yielded, thereby losing her independence. “Her decision to join the Anti-Com-intern Pact is not justified by her national interests which do not coincide with the aggressive aims and pacts of the other signatories, specially those of Japan. “The decision, consequently, was thrust on Hungary from the outside and this state of affairs no longer justifies the direct Russo-Hungarian diplomatic relations, which can henceforth be maintained through representatives of the two Governments in the capital of some third State.” Soviet circles emphasise that a distinction has been made between the other signatories of the pact and Hungary because the others are still independent States and “Hungary, as a mere vassal of the Rome-Berlin axis, does not deserve full diplomatic status.”
