59 "Italy and Europe" (2 May) Documents for the lock remarks, with special consideration of Hungary, Slovakia and Bohemia and Moravia. The Italian cultural work is in the three regions Czech Republic and Moravia, Slovakia, and Hungary of inferior density. Its successes are not to be confused because of the different conditions it finds itself in. In Hungary, the Italian influence has been steadily increasing since lgl9. Budapest used it to push back the German influence, which had until then been overpowering. The number of exchange and guest professors, lecturers, language courses, scholarships etc., which exist in Hungary in this respect, is unusually large; it probably still exceeds the Romanian figures, although Rwnänien has the special favorable conditions from linguistic green. It should be noted, however, that this influence is controlled according to schedule and for certain purposes from Budapest. It is intended as a counterweight against mute Zinflüese, therefore one lést also in magazines, which - like e.g. "Danube Europe", "Hungary", "creating Hungary" - which is devoted to German-Hungarian cooperation, more often by the "Latin spirituality" or the "antique European consciousness" of the Madjeren. The actual successes of the Italian renunciation are therefore within certain limits. They are strong in the Katholic camp as well as in the aristocracy, which means heute: they directly influence the state leadership. Nittel layer and in particular the academically educated bourgeoisie are suited to the Italian language skills, however, since they cannot use them, they forget them. The sympathies of this stratum are, moreover, more to Angeleacheentum than to the Catholic*fascist Italians. Although the southern rethorik is taken up with a certain syu-pathia, it does not feel to overestimate the geisty possibilities of Röpnd. Guided by Italy Hungary belongs without further ado to the Nittelmeerraum and in spirit on the Carpathian Alps guardians of the Roman civilization ./.
