VIENNA, Aug. 30-Rumania
under the whip-lash of Germany
and italy, surrendered about half OF
Pennsylvania to Hungary today.
Rumania made clear she was
capitulating to what she regarded
as the axis ultimatum that she
cede most of her World-War-won
province to Hungary.
Thus Germany and Italy, in their
chosen role of creators of the new
Europe" overnight made the long
haggling Balkan neighbors settle
their dispute under threat OF force
and, in the Nazi view, ended the
last territorial conflict in Southeast
Europe.
The Vienna arbitration proceed
ings ended tonight with signature
of the protocol by the four foreign
ministers concerned. In it the Ru-
manian and Hungarian statesmen go
on record on behalf of their govern
mentS as expressly recognizing the
award as a final settlement, and
they obligate themselves to carry out
its provisions without reservation.
Changes in Population.
The seven-point arbitration award
of the axis powers not only made
vast territorial changes in Hun
gary's favor but also opened posi-
bilitieS for extensive changes of pop
ulation.
1t attempted further to secure full
citizenship rights for persons who,
as a result of the award, will be-
come naturslized subjects of a
nation not of their birth.
ut was estimated officially in
Budapest that Hungary would
receive about 1900 square miles
- or approximately half - of
Transylvania)
In return, Rumania received a
German-Italian guarantee of her
hacked-up frontier, according to a
DNB, official German news agency,
announcement in Berlin.
General Guarantee.
Besides her submission to Hun
gary, Rumania recently has seen
two other Sizable areas of her ter
ritory go-Bessarabia to Soviet Rus
sia and the Southern Dobruja to
Bulgaria.
The axis guarantee, it was said
In Berlin, is meant for a general
guarantee of Rumania's shrivelled
borders-not only her frontier with
Russia, but also with Hungary and
Bulgaria in case any elements in
those countries get the idea they
can help themselves to more.
Qn Bucharest it was reliably
reported that Germany had
promised troops would come
speedily to help Rumania defend
her troubled Russian frontierD
In Berlin authorized sources said
they had no information on reports
that the German and Italian Am
bassadors in Moscow had visited
Soviet Premier-Foreign Commissar
Molotof to discuss Balkan problems.
They insisted, however, that it has
long been known to all powers, in
cluding Soviet Russia, that Germany
considers the Balkans her special
sphere of influence, whereas Russia,
in her recent phase of expansion,
merely wanted the frontiers of her
former empire-that of the Cars
restored.
These sources said that with the
acquisition of Bessarabia this had
been accomplished and the gain of
Northern Bucovina had gone beyond
this aim.
Map Is Prepared.
The final drawing of the Ru-
manian-Hungarian frontier line will
be undertaken by a joint Rumanian-
Hungarian commission in &C
cordance with a map drawn up
by German Foreign Minister
Joachim Won Ribbentrop and Ital-
ian Foreign Minister Count Galeazzo
Ciano at the four-power conference
here, DNB said.
This statement was made in a
communique issued by the news
agency, which asserted that Ru-
mania and Hungary requested Ger
many and Italy to arbitrate their
differences and in advance accepted
the award.
The region ceded to Hungary, the
second point of the award stated,
must "be cleared of Rumanian
troops within IA days and handed
over to Hungary in an orderly con-
dition''
ReSettlement and interchange Of
populations on a large scale Is en-
visaged in point three, which said:
"All Rumanian Subjects who to-
day are residents of the area to
be ceded by Rumania acquire Huns
garian citizenship without further
formality. They are entitled, how
ever, within six months to opt for
(selecD Rumanian citizenship.
