NO CABINET RECONSTRUCTION
FRONTIER DISPUTE SETTLEMENT NEAR IN BUDAPEST
Budapest, To-day.
A speedy settlement of the frontier dispute be- tween Hungary and Czecho-Slovakia was fore- shadowed in Budapest yesterday evening when it became known that apparently on the ad- vice of Germany and Italy, the Hungarian Gov- ernment had decided to modify its standpoint by declaring itself prepared to agree to a set- tlement of the Hungarian claims in respect of Czecho-Slovakia on a purely racial basis. It would appear that the events took a dramatic turn upon the receipt in Budapest of the so- called fourth Czech plan. This plan had been handed to the Hungarian military attache in Prague and taken to Budapest by car. The Czech proposals were then immediately sub- jected a careful examination by Premier Imredy
and his leading Cabinet Ministers.
