SOVIET GUARANTEE FOR BALKANS
Hungarian Government Admits Negotiations Now Proceeding
LONDON, Mar. 26 (Reuter).-According to the Budapest radio, the newspaper, "Pester Lloyd,” mouth-piece of the Hungarian Government, admitted that discussions concerning a Russian guarantee for the States in south-eastern Europe are proceeding..
Commenting on Count Teleki's talks in Rome, the paper referring to the report that such a guarantee was one of the topics, says it is true that conversations of this nature have been proceeding.
"It is further a fact that the effect on south-eastern Europe of German-Russian-Italian co-operation was discussed, but there is no reason for Italy to indulge in undue haste. Italy's policies are founded on sound principles and Italy, therefore, is in a position to wait as long as she wants to wait."
