The foreign ministers of the Little Entente — Rumania, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia — reaffirmed their community of interests tonight after a two-day session here. Points touched upon in the communique issued at the end of the deliberations and in speeches by spokesmen for the group were as follows:
1– The three countries will work together for good relations with all other countries and will refrain as far as possible from giving cause for dispute.
2– The Entente considers the recently concluded Anglo-Italian reconciliation a contribution of high importance to lasting peace.
3– All three Governments desire to pursue negotiations toward cordial relations with Hungary.
4– The Entente remains faithful to the League of Nations, but stresses that individual sovereignty over domestic problems must be borne in mind — an evident allusion to complaints against Government measures lodged in regard to Rumania’s Jewish minority. Rumanian Foreign Minister Petrescu-Comnen declared in this connection he had been promised the support of Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia at Geneva.
5– The status of the International Commission to regulate navigation on the Danube was studied in the light of Austria’s departure. It was decided to maintain the body, but headquarters will be moved from Vienna, probably to Belgrade. On Rumania’s suggestion, the Little Entente may soon discuss extending the commission’s jurisdiction to the Black Sea from its present terminus at Braila, in inland Rumania.
