ITALIAN BLUSTER

MINGLED WITH HYPOCRISY. (Received This Day, 12.30 p.m.) LONDON, August 28. The meeting with Count Ciano, Herr von Ribbentrop, Count Csaky and M. Manoilescu at Vienna on August 29 will deal with Hungary’s territorial claims to Transylvannia. The “Giornale I’ltalia” says the problem of relations between Hungary and Rumania is delicate and complicated, the more so because in this zone forces of disorder motivated by the British are still active, tending to extend the war against the wishes of Italy and Germany. The Italian News Agency says -political circles in Rome state that Germany and Italy cannot remain disinterested in Hungarian-Rumanian relations, nor can the Axis remain passive to the possible exploitation of the situation by the enemy. It adds that Italy and German must continue by force of arms the revision of treaties which they wanted to realise peaceably. They now wish to see the revision of Versailles injustices completed in the Danubian region.
