Cen. Smuts's Trip TO Hungary Stirs
Criticism: His Standing Questioned

PARIS, April 10 (By. The Associated
Press l.-The report of General Jan
Christian Smuts concerning his visit
to Hungary and The entire circum-
stances surrounding his mission are
provoking much criticism in Entente
CIRCLES. Although General SHUTS was
authorized to go to Budapest by the
Council Of Four, the nature of his mis-
sion was not clearly defined.
The French and other Allied govern
ments are provoked because the state
ments of Bella Kun, the Hungarian For
eign Minister and leader of the So
viets, give the impression that General
Smuts had diplomatic standing and that
his conferences with the Hungarian Of
ficials constituted recognition by the
Entente Of the Soviet government. o

Afoirs Of Germany

BERLIN. April 9 BY The Associated
Press) The Soviet Congress is de-
veloping into a rough and tumble
parliament. It was marked to-day by
recurrence Of clashes between the Ma
jority Socialists and the Independents.
Much Of the confusion is due to the in
capacity of the presiding officer, who
is unversed in the rules of procedure.
resolution of the dependents, de-
manding that the government meet the
claims Of the Ruhr strikers, resulted in
hour tumult this morning,
marked by vicious exchanges. The Ma
jorty Socialists, discovering that they
had been trcked into voting for the
resolution of the dependents, which
permitted of doubtful interpretation
demanded that it be revoked. This pre-
cipitated another heated debate, which
finally resulted in the Majority Social
lists carrying motion in favor of meet
ing the Ruhr dcmancs as far as justi-
fable. so as to avoid the threatened
flooding of the mines.
p
Ledebour. the Independent Socialist
leader who was arrested during the
Spartacidc uprising, has been referred
to the criminal courts. owing to tho
decision of the Prussian Minister Of
Justice that he is no longer competent
TO decide.
The demand for Ledebour's release
was based on the fact that Herr Lede-
bour had been elected delegate to
the Congress and the contention that
he should be permitted to exercise his
duties in that connection.
The chairman of the congress ruled
favorably to the independents on a pre-
liminary motion, and turmoil result
ed. in which the violence of the recrim-
nations hurled by the Radicals caused
the Majority Socialist members to be-
came wabbly in sufficient degree to in
sure the necessary votes to carry the
motion.
Congress Forced to Act
TIE result was wildly applauded and
the officials of the congress had no
other choice than forthwith to address
messages to the national and Pruss an
governments. the States Attorney and
the authorities of the Moabt Jail
where Lcdebour is confined apprising
them of the wishes of the Soviet dele
gates.
The Prussan Ministry of State is said
to be opposed to setting Iedebour free
but the Independents propose to press
the issue to the extreme limit. it is in
dicated by a declaration Of Herr Rosen-
fell, former Prussian Minister of JUS
tice and an Independent leader. He
blandly informed the presiding officials
that he supposed it might be taken fol
granted that they would promptly pro
rppH NJ of &
delegates, SO shat Ledebour might be
able to take part in the deliberations
Of the congress Immediately.
Among the resolutions introduced in
the congress is one calling upon the
government to appoint FIVE delegates
of the congress As members of the
German peace delegation.

The exact status of General SHUTS,
not only at the peace conference but
for the past two years during which he
has been in London. has never been de
fined clearly. He still holds the Office
of Minister of Defence for the Union
of South Africa. and went to London. to
sit in an unofficial advisory capacity in
Lloyd Georges supreme war council,
which position he has occupied since
giving up command of his troops in
British East Africa in 1917.
He went to Paris unoffically in CON
ncction with the British delegation. His
plan 70 ra league Of nations was prac-
tlcally indorsed by President Wilson
and is believed to have formed in large
measure the basis for the present draft.
At the peace conference he has ap-
