1921 i191 Since then the situation has changed as Mr. Davy has been appointed governor*of Western Hungary. Because ^of possible comments and the possibility of demonstrations, I consider it inadvisable for him to stay in Sopron and with your consent T should like to inform him confidentially of this by way of Baron Neugebauer.

1 No. 170. 1087/P0I. The Representative of the Hungarian Government in Bucharest

, Mr. Hory, to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Dr. Gratz. [TRANSLATION] Code telegram Nos. 30-32. BUCHAREST, February 28, 1921. When I conveyed my congratulations

2 to the Foreign Minister,

3 we had a conversation which lasted about an hour. He declared that they have the best intentions. "Je ne veux pas embêter la Hongrie", he said to me. On the contrary, he told me confidentially that he had made up his mind to support the invitation of Hungary to the forthcoming Rome Conference of the Succession States.

4 Naturally he has sounded the Governments in Prague and Belgrade because they have to act in unison ; but he expects that they will agree. Mr. Stircea is to present his credentials to the Head of the State.

5 The Foreign Minister said to me, without complaining, that Your Excellency, in your speech in Parliament, used the expression "territoires provisoirement occupés". He referred to the well-known correspondence of the Refugees' Office and to the "integrity statues" in Budapest.

6 I replied that the. Government had given our authorities strict instructions to put an end to all tendentious correspondence. Since the ratification we are not employing recriminatory expressions.
