WITHOUT FOUNDATION

A MISCHIEVOUS REPORT WARNING AGAINST SENSATIONAL SPECULATIONS (British Official Wireless.) Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright RUGBY, November 4. (Received November 5, at 12.20 p.m.) Reports which have been given much prominence in the Press of more than one European country of the impending visit to Hungary of Sir Robert Yansittart (Permanent Under-Secre-tary of State for Foreign Affairs) are without foundation. Various theories as to 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 oooasions in the past for shooting purposes. He has never had any part in politics or any connection with diplomacy. It was apparently on this flimsy foundation that an elaborate structure of false deductions has been built up, and in London it is felt that the difficult situation which confronts the statesmen of Europe would not be improved, and at any moment might bo made dangerously worse by the publication of sensational speculations based on an unverified rumour.
