BERLIN WATCH
PARLEYS AT VENICE ITALY AND HUNGARY RADIO INTERFERENCE VIEWS ON FINLAND (Reed. Jan. 8, 2.50 p.m.) NEW YORK, Jan. 7. The New York Times correspondent, in a message from Venice, states that twp things are clear about the meetings between the Italian Foreign Minister, Count Ciano, and the Hungarian Minister, Count Csaky. Firstly, Count Ciano used both pressure and diplomacy to induce Count Csaky to exercise prudence regarding Hungary’s demands on Rumania. Secondly, both determined to oppose the Russian threat to the Danube most strongly. The New York Times correspondent in Berlin states that the conference in Venice is treated in Germany as interesting but not particularly important. It was noticeable that the Rome radio began to suffer serious interference when It discussed Germany’s intensifying pressure on Sweden and Norway to prevent the passage of British and French aid for Finland, especially when it announced the Italian view that it was not a breach of Scandinavian neutrality to permit the passage of supplies.
