EUROPE’S WINTER
Hungarian Floods LONDON. February 3. “The Times” Budapest, correspondent says: For the second successive year, Hungary is in serious danger of flooding. Six hundred thousand acres are under water on the Great Hungarian Plain, as the result of a thaw. The Danube is still completely frozen for 165 miles, and the Air Force is carrying out bombings, in an attempt to break up the ice, but is encountering difficulties as the result of fog. Similar flooding, last year, caused a bad harvest, and the same results are predicted for the coming harvest. If true, it will be necessary to readjust the Hungarian agricultural exports to Germany, which are. based on the food harvest in 1939.
