IN TRANSYLVANIA

AIRPORT BOMBED

RUMANIAN REPORT

(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.) (Received August 29, 2 p.m.) LONDON, August 28. A Bucharest communique states that a Hungarian plane bombed and machine-gunned the Transylvanian airport of Satmar. Rumanian antiaircraft guns shot down the plane. It is also reported that diplomats {have been informed that Hungarian planes bombed Arad. The Italian news agency says that political circles in Rome state that Germany and Italy cannot remain disinterested in relations between Hungary and Rumania, nor can the Axis remain passive to the possible exploitation of the situation by the enemy. It adds that Italy and Germany are forced to continue by 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. The Budapest correspondent of "The Times" states that the Vienna talks are announced without any comment in the Hungarian Press, but official circles reiterate an adherence to the policy of the Axis Powers and a closeness to their common aims. A general feeling of optimism in Hungary is again in the ascendant. There cannot be any doubt that an agreement will be reached, as German prestige could not permit another deadlock between the two countries, particularly as the talks are occurring in Germany.
