A MAN-MADE MONSTER ON THE LOOSE!
To A Head
THE RUMANIAN Prime Minister, M. |Gigurtu, and Foreign Minister, M. Manoiles- cu, who have been invited to Salzburg on' Fri- day, are expected to meet Hitler at lunch and to leave for Bucharest the same evening.
Generally the subject of the meeting will be Hungary's revisionist claims and the out- come of the meeting is awaited with the great- est anxiety in informed quarters in Bucharest which have little doubt it will bring the Transylvanian issue to a head.
READY TO BEAR ANY BURDEN
Nature of the present Hungar- ian press and radio campaign has incensed Rumania and something like consternation has been caus- ed by an article in the Budapest newspaper "Pester Lloyd" on Sunday strongly attacking the policy of the Rumanian Govern- ment.
GERMANY DESPOILING DENMARK
President Roosevelt stated at a press con- ference in Washing- ton yesterday after- noon that he had re- cently received re- ports, unofficial and not yet verified, that as much as fifty per cent. of the cattle, dogs and poultry in Denmark had been killed and the car- cases sent to Ger- many.
