Economic Reforms

Budapest, May 13.

Dr. Bela Imredy, who was President of the National Bank and Minister of Economy in the last Cabinet, is the most prominent of Hungarian economists, though only 47 years of age. He is expected to carry out a Five-Year Economic Recovery Plan. Politicians here add that the Catholic Teader will most likely oppose excessive increase of German economic influences and will attempt 10 strengthen trade relations with the western countries.

Most quarters appear to believe that this Cabinet will probably pursue anti-Semitic policies, os did the previous one. The Cabinet list follows:—

Premier, Commerce. Minister Bot Foreign, Minister. ister Minister without Portiolg, Suranysvse 'Comments centre about the Home Minister, M. Keresztes, who Is likely to find favour with' conservative Jandowners as he' is well-known for his energy and will probably. vigor ously oppose any schemes for the partition of estates.

National Socialists are somewhat pleased at the disappearance from the government of the former Home Minister, M. Szell, andthe War Minister, General Roder—Havas.
