a. The Hungarian Chargé d'affaires in Vienna, Mr. Parcher, to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Count Emeric Csáky. [TRANSLATION] Code telegram No. 515. VIENNA, December 7, 1920. The new Rumanian Minister

2 informs me that according to a telegram he received from Bucharest, Secretary of Legation Arion and Consul General Trifu will arrive in Budapest in a day or so to establish contact with the Hungarian Government. No. 857. 8410/P0I. The Minister of Hungary to the Vatican, Count Somssich, to the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Count Emeric Csáky. [TRANSLATION] Code telegram No. 65. ROME, December 7, 1920. Cardinal Gasparri, Monsignor Tedeschini and Cerretti informed Father Serédi that the Holy Father

3 does not wish to change the measures he has taken to fill the bishoprics of Northern Hungary. This particularly applies to Bishop Batthyány, in view of his unequivocal letter of resignation. Cardinal Gasparri admitted that it was a mistake not to inform Batthyány that his resignation had been accepted. I shall protest personally to the Secretary of State Cardinal Gasparri against the unfriendly attitude of the Holy See in this matter although I do not expect that my protest will be effective. 1 Printed in Hungarian Peace Negotiations, vol. 1., pp. 101 ff. 2 Cantacuzino. 3 Benedict XV.
