English Translation

40 - 2 - In the week of 18-23.9., however, a remarkable strengthening of the general mood has been observed. A plethora of positive rumors circulated in Budapest, among other things, the announcement that the conditions that had been met by the government at the Federal Genossenfgebtenit/dispatch of L0 divisions and 600 plug-ins/ had been fulfilled. Another Hoafngebg was to be sent by new hunters, adding that the training of the personnel on the new machines had been restricted. The fulfilment of this condition had also been promised. The news of the new weapons, which was constantly leaking and fed by the propaganda, also contributed to the raising of the mood. Large sections of the population are convinced that these new weapons will soon be used. In political right-wing circles, Prime Minister Lakatos is identified as a only soldier standing where he is placed. He was, however, in danger of being a tool of Horthy, but in a position far more firm than this and certainly determined to prevent anarchy. Ministers Jurezek, Remeny-Schneller and General Czotay continue to be regarded as necessarily German-friendly, although the last one is considered completely unpolitical. Minister of Culture Rakovsky, Minister of Justice Vladar and Minister of Industry Gyulay Tibor, who is a specialist, but absolutely unreserved, are considered particularly anglofil. Furthermore, the Minister of Trade Markos, however unpolitical in itself, is also anglo Fil. The new Minister of the Interior, Boncsos, is a friend of Count Bethlen, is considered a pronounced oportunist, from whom legal circles assume that he is also able to deliver the country to the Russians if he can save himself and his position with it. Foreign Minister General Heney is only a military who carries out orders. The concern of the political situation lies in the fact that Horthy and his circles have far more influence on the new government than on the Stojayi cabinet. The differences that Prime Minister Stojai had with the Reichsverweser were a reason for his abdication.
