...Foreign Minister was racing from one Axis capital to another, and no word of his policy appeared in their press; they were involved in a growing Polish-German conflict, but did not know how deeply; they were menaced by troop movements that had nothing to do with Hungarian conflicts. Result was that Hungarians high and low wanted to be Hungarians and nothing else. Whether the Axis ran from Berlin to Rome or from Berlin to Moscow, Hungarians were determined to close their ranks...
Main source of disquiet were the "holiday" travels and talks of small, suave, dark Count Stephan Csaky, Foreign Minister and big landowner, who signed Hungary into the Anti-Comintern Pact.

I agree with him, but this loyalty must extend to all our friends. If . . . a German-Polish conflict breaks out, under no circumstances can we interfere." Then he challenged the Government-"Admiral Hoi thy pledged Hungary to independence and neutrality, let the Foreign Minister repeat the pledge...
...Government took no action, and TIME remained on French newsstands. Publisher Luce expressed regrets for TIME'S too-general indictment of the Parisian press. Fortnight later the Government, in an effort to put an end to venality, arrested a brace of journalists on charges of taking money from foreign countries. Thus public opinion in Paris was thoroughly aroused to the question of honesty-in-j ournalism...
