Mason Sees Little
Change by Reason
Of Hungarian Move
BY j. w. T. MASON

Hungary's adhesion Wednesday to
the tri-partite pact will not change
the present military situation in
Europe. The new extension of the
pact probably should be interpreted
as part of Herr Hitler's peace drive,
designed to show the world that
the European continent seeks aniitv
While Britain wants the war to
continue.
After more than two months ef-
tort, however, Hungary is the only
european nation to give formal ad-
hesion to the fuehrer's diplomatic
offensive which recognizes Ger
many's power to dictate peace or
war to Europe. This modest sue
cess is overshadoWed by the appar-
ent reluctance of more important
small European countries to recog-
nize Hitler's overlordship.
Recent reports Unat Hitler had
sought a conference with the king
OF Belgium suggest the Belgians
were to be invited to become the
1lrst new members of the pact.
The Belgian monarch, however, is
said to have answered that he still
considers himself a prisoner of war
and wishes to be treated as such.
Spain. too, presumably evaded the
distinction of signing at the top of
the list
So the lot has fallen to Hungary
1t Is not unnatural for the Buda-
nf-t,tt NDt, to l..
sance to the fuehrer. Hungary was
penallzed very severely after the
World War and the Axis has partly
restored Hungary's Lost territory at
the expense of Rumania.
1t is an easy repayment for Hun
gary to put her name to the tri-
partlte treaty. No direct cost is
involved. Indeed, by Wednesdays
action, Hungary inSures herself
against possible future belligerent
action by Rumania to reclaim part
of the area ceded under compul-
sion.
General Antonescu, Rumanias
premier, said after his recent visit
to Rome that Rumania regards pre-

temporary. That scarcely yelled
threat may we'll have been the final
influence causing Hungary to place
herself, by todays action, under the
protective guardianship of the Axis.
Hungary occupies a small position
in east central Europe. It's south
ern border would give Germany
an advantage in striking at Jugo-
slavia, especially along the Danube
basin, if future war developments
made that step necessary. Hungary
thus would make a good base for
German drive through southeast
ern Europe.
But it was not essential for Hun
gary to join the triple alliance to
assure Germany of Hungary's ben
eVolent attitude toward future pos
sible developments southeastWard.
though Hungarian cooperation is
now regularized. Rather, the fueh-

Royal Air Force planes operating

In 1898, Hungary was a country
OF 35,875 square miles and 100000

ference, she was awarded 4,875

awarded 19,300 square miles and
100000 inhabitS from Rumania in

Hungary could throw open her bor-
ders and roads to German troops
bound southeast for Rumania, where
they already are we'll established,
or could provide an easy route for
German troops moving south to

here, however, were that the ALI

The Rev. Harvey F. Baty, director

For Religious People
1.-THE inter- church conference is an
attempt to solve comparatively the
religious problems Of students at the
university." the Rev. Mr.. Baty says.
"At the points where they are on
common ground the students work To-
gether, not as Lutherans or Method
lists but as religious people. Where the
individual faiths differ, each goes his
separate way with the blessing OF all
the others"
During my six years at the uni
versity there has been a great increase
in interest among students IN the
various church clubs and in regular
attendance at churches in Missoula.
Campus life is much better as re-
suit of 1t, and because Of the fine use
to which the students put the Student
Union building. Missoula pastors and
leaders of their congregations have
done much to build this program"
