Regent of Hungary Assails Britain
ATTITUDE TO SPANISH WAR RECENT SPEECHES IN GERMANY BERLIN, Aug. 31. Indirect attacks upon Britain and France were made by the Hungarian Regent, Admiral Horthy, in speeches delivered at Kiel during his visit to I Germany as Herr Hitler’s guest. Extracts from Admiral Horthy’s ad dresses, just published, reveal his resentment at the unwillingness of Britain and France to grant belligerent rights to the warring parties in Spain. One report of tho Admiral’s speeches contains the following quotations:— “Some nations still prefer to relapse into the system whereby battles are waged without any official recognition of a state of war. “.Spain has been bleeding for two years under the wounds of a civil war. but even now thero are nations which refuse to accord the combatants belligerent rights. “If you meet a typhoon by refusing to recognise it as such, and by calling it. merely an abnormal atmospheric disturbance, it will certainly proceed on its devastating course regardless of what you call it.”
