DICTATED BY NAZIS

DEPRESSION IN RUMANIA VIENNA, August 30 Ribbentrop and Count Ciano, in speaking at the conference, made no secret of the fact trtat they dictated the settlement of the Rumanian-Hun-garian dispute. Ribbentrop said: "The Axis thu3 demonstrated anew that Italy and Germany are resolved to oppose Britain's policy, which is intended to spread the war to the Danube.” Hu n g>*ry and Rumania will decide the outstanding issues regarding the cession, but Germany and Italy reserve the right to impose the settlement of any deadlock. n. Manoilescu almost collapsed when .ic heard the settlement read out. He fell forward in his chair. Profound depression reigned in Bucharest, whero King Carol summoned prominent oppositionists to the Palace, after which a communique announcing the cession appeared with the signatures of the Crown Council and other prominent people, but it was noticeable that the signature of Dr. Maniu, the Peasant party leader, who opposed tho settlement, was absent. Transylvanian reports indicate a strong spirit of resistance to tho occupation by Hungaro-German troops. The Rumanian General Staff is reported to have recommended capitulation only after Ribbentrop told M. Manoilescu that ho must accept the Axis plan or face an immediate invasion from Russia and Hungary, with German motorised units and planes cooperating. The American Press quotes a report from Bucharest that German troops will move across Hungary to take up positions guarding the Russo-Rumanian frontier, giving Hitler access to the Black Sea. FIGHTING IN AFRICA RAIDS BY BRITISH FLIERS LONDON, August 30 A Cairo communique states: It is estimated that several hundred vehicles were destroyed in the raid on Mogadishu. All our planes returned.
