Abstract
Description
Reports visit of Hungarian Prime Minister [Julius] Goemboes and Hungarian Foreign Minister, Koloman de Kanya, to Vienna on Nov. 28 and 29; they met with Chancellor Schuschnigg, Vice-Chancellor Starhemberg and Foreign Minister Berger-Waldenegg; they discussed problems common to Hungary and Austria, chiefly their relations with Italy and possible economic effects; both countries have refused to apply sanctions against Italy, but both have agreed that they will not leave the League of Nations just because Italy expects to; Goemboes, known to be somewhat pro-German, explored possibility of Austria joining Hungary in seeking closer cooperation with Germany; Austrian Chancellor and Foreign Minister made it clear there was no possibility of rapprochement with Germany at present.
