BALKAN TENSION

NO IMMEDIATE RELIEF EXPECTED. AXIS POWERS EXERCISING PRESSURE. (Received This Day, 12.40 p.m.) LONDON, August 25. No immediate relief can be expected of the tension in the Balkans, arising out of the Rumano-Hungarian and Italo-Greek questions, although, according to the British United Press Association, it is officially announced that the Rumano-Hungarian negotiations are to be resumed on August 28. The British-United Press Association says resumption of negotiations is due to strong Axis pressure.

The “Daily Telegraph's” Balkans correspondent says that following on the Rumanian-Hungarian breakdown, both countries are almost mobilised. The Hungarian frontier is bristling with troops. The Hungarian Government and Press asserts that Hungary will stand firm in her territorial demands.

“The Times” Balkans correspondent discussing the Italo-Greek situation, points out that whereas 70,000 troops were considered an adequate summer garrison in Albania, the number of Italian troops now there approaches 150,000.
