DANGEROUS REPORTS
BRITAIN AND HUNGARY NO BASIS IN TRUTH. [ British Official Wireless.] RUGBY, Nov. 4. Reports which have been given much prominence in the press in more than one European country of the impending visit to Hungary of Sir Robert Vansittart, permanent Undersecretary 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 occasions in the past for shooting. He has never had any part in politics or connection with diplomacy. It is apparently on this flimsy foundation that an elaborate structure of false deductions has been built up, and in London it is felt that there is an obvious moral that the already difficult situation which confronts statesmen in Europe will not be improved, and at any moment might be made dangerously worse by the publication of sensational speculations based on an unverified rumour.
