Ambassador Francis tells Secretary of State Root about an interview with Baron Hengelmüller recently published in Vienna in which Hengelmüller praises President Roosevelt as an advocate for universal peace. Francis also reports that another Vienna newspaper announced Hengelmüller’s trip to Budapest to discuss how to restrict emigration from Hungary to America, which is greater than emigration from Austria because of the manufacturing opportunities there and the lack of such industry in Hungary. Minister of Commerce Kossuth is promoting industrial conditions in Hungary.
