Exerting Pressure On Hungary
London, To-day.

MYSTERY RIBBENTROP MEETING
Budapest, To-day.
A meeting between Joachim von Ribbentrop, the Reich Foreign Minister, and Count Csaky, the
Hungarian Foreign Minister, near Salzburg on Tuesday is not com- mented on by Hungarian authorita- tive quarters.
Apparently no report on the conference has yet been received in Budapest.
