Plotting Revolt

An Imminent, Nazi-inspired uprising of the 'Hungarian Arrow Crass (Fascist) Party, whose black list promises a blood- bath even more terrible than that of the Rumanian Iron Guard, has recently alarmed Hungarian Government circles.

Maj. Ferene Szalasi, leader of the Arrow Cross, intends to stage a revolt that will wipe out all opposition, including Regent Horthy, Premier Teleki and other members of the present govern- ment, according to a New York message.

CABINET discussions on an officials déclaration of British war alms will shortly be con- cluded, it is reported from London.

This declaration will be pub- lished at the earliest oppor- tunity, perhaps in a. few weeks, Individual Ministers have sub- mitted memoranda on aspects of the subject, and consultations have taken place with representatives of the Dominions and of the recognised nutritles of our Allies.

An Qulline

These consultations have been com- pleted, out the document embodying the final conclusions is not yet la pre- paration.

While the Government's declari-

tion will go a long way beyond pre- vious official statements on our uims, it can be forecast that it will not ex- tend further than an outline of the broad principles on which this cou- try's war and post-war policy is to be bused.
