Paris Saturday, Aug. 90, (by the
Associated Press)-The supreme coun-
ell tonight sent the following note
to the Hungarian government, in
which announcement was made that
the council would have no dealings
with the government headed by Arch
duke Josepr or any other member of
the Hapsburg family.
THE allied and associated powers
have been further considering infor-
nation derived from our reports, and
from other sources. as to recent
events in Budapest Their conclusions
are as follows:
"They are most anxious to conclude
a durable peace with the Hungarian
people, bat they feel that this cannot
be done while the present Hungarian
government is in power. That govern
ment came into existence not by the
will Of the people, but by coup
d'etat carried out by a small body of
police, under the protection of n for
eign army.
"It has at it's head member of
the House of Hapsburg whose policies
and actions were largely responsible
for the calamtes under which the
world is suffering, and will long suf-
fer. A peace negotiated by such Il
government is not likely to be last
irg nor can the allied and associated
governments give the economic sup
Fort which Hungary needs.
In it's reply that Archdukc Joseph is
prepared, before approaching the allied
and associated governments. to submit
his claims to the test of popular elections,
we must reply that this procedure cannot
be satisfactory If the election is TO be
carried out under the auspices of an adj
ministration which the archduke him
self controls.
THE difficulties in the way of obtain
ing by election of faithful reflection of
happy state of Hungary, most serious.
They would be overwhe lining If an elec-
ton were carried out under Hapsburg
influences. Even if an assembly elected
under such circumstances were really
representative no one would think so.
I'm the interest, therefore, of Euro
pean peace the allied and associated
governments mean to insist that the
present claimant to the leadership of
the Hungarian state should resign and
that a government. in which all parties
are represented, should appeal to the
Hungarian people.
The allied and associated powers
would be prepared to negotiate with any
government which possessed the conf
dence of an assembly so elected"
The note was signed by Premier Glenn
