BUTHENIA'S FUTURE RUMANIAN OPINION OPPOSED TO PARTITION REPLY TO POLISH ENVOY By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright (Received October 21, 7.15 p.m.) LONDON, Oct. 21 Responsible quarters in Budapest attach importance to a statement in the Government press that the talks between the Polish Foreign Minister, Colonel Beck, and King Carol on Wednesday raised problems which could not be settled immediately and demanded thorough examination. The Times' Bucharest correspondent says Cfolonel Beck's mission was to ascertain Rumania's views regarding Ruthenia, and he was told Rumania strongly favoured lluthenia's remaining part of Czechoslovakia. This view is dictated by opposition to further Czech sacrifices and objection to the severance of Rumanian communications with Czechoslovakia. Yugoslavia is hostile to partition of Ruthenia except under self-determina-tion, says a message from Belgrade. SLOVAKS AND HUNGARY CESSION OF TERRITORY REPORTED SETTLEMENT (Received October 21, 7.30 p.m.) LONDON. Oct. 21 It is authoritatively reported from Berlin that the final settlement of the Slovak-Hungarian frontier dispute is expected as the result of German mediation. It is believed the Slovaks have been persuaded to concede to Hungary territory to which Hungary has a sound ethnological claim —an extensive frontier strip which will add 1,000,000 to Hungary's population.
