RUMOURS DENIED
BRITISH RELATIONS WITH HUNGARY (BRITISH OFFICIAL WIRELESS.) RUGBY, November 4. Reports which have been given much prominence in the press in mpre than one European country of the impending visit to Hungary of the Permanent Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (Sir Robert Vansittart) are without foundation, it is officially stated. Various theories about the political moves and developments of special significance which have been based on these reports are also devoid of truth. No such visit is contemplated. A possible explanation of the rumours is that Captain Guy Vansittart is shortly going to Hungary, which he has visited on numerous occasions in the past, for shooting. He has never had any part in politics or any connexion with diplomacy. It is apparently on this flimsy foundation that the elaborate structure of false deductions has been built up, and in London it is felt that the already difficult situation which confronts the statesmen of Europe will not be improved, and at any moment might be made dangerously worse, by the publication of sensational speculations based on an unverified rumour.
