Says BOIsheWsrn is
 Waning in Hungary
Statement by Alexis Bolgar, Representative at Vienna of the Communist Govern ment.

Vienna, Friday. May 16 (By the A. P.).-Bolshevism is waning, the Ger mans will sign the peace treaty and delegates from the Hungarian com munist government should be permit ted to go to Paris. Alexis Bolgar inc representative here of the Hungarian communist government. declared in a statement to the correspondent today. All we ask he said, lis for the al- lies to find some solution for our un
 fortunate country When General Smuts was in Budapest Gas represent ative of the peace conference) we told him We were ready to get out but we would not be responsible for disorders ana Dloodshed unless the allies occu- pied the city. particularly American or British troops rather than the Ruman- ians.
 If such thing as self elf-Sovernment is permitted, then the red republic rep
 resents Hungary. I do not see why the allies cannot treat with the soviet unofficially, at least, and also consult, perhaps, with former President Karo- 1 lyi and with men like Apponi and An drassay, all of whom took part in the former governments. The allies should not take seriously the view that the new government is self constituted l affair and is made up of men unrepre- sentative of Hungary and also with
 out special prominence or political ex- perlence There are number of such self-constituted governments for Hun-
 gary living in hotels in Vienna.
 Speaking strictly in my official ca'- pacity, Task only that delegates of the soviet in Budapest be requested to ! come to Paris. It can be said for the soviet that it is doing the best it can i and also is keeping order It is not
 true that there have been any political
 executions hv us. The only executions , have been for crimes like murder or l robbery.
 'In the light of events it was. per-
 haps. unwise for Us to nationalize | property on 50 large a scale We migh, i have gone more slowly, but if reforms ] like ours are carried out in twenty i years time instead of three months they are accepted as reasonable by al | cla sses.''
 Bolgar like many others connected with the Budapest soviet. is friendly
 to America and wishes that he was ar
 American He said he felt that it wa. 1 Iii ta.e United States that the mos i sane solutions of the problems of pov- 1 erty would be worked out. He express 1 e1 the opinion that President Wilsor Tfts not being treated fairly by tht allits nor with proper consideration 1 He said he understood that it hat
 te.n suggested in American quarter. that all Hungarian parties. including !! the soviet. send representatives for r.eetlne in Switzerland to form a new | goYtrnneiIt for Hungary.

 itself without money. He said that tn :, theft in Vienna two weeks ago of tn !, money which he had in his possession l, h%1 depleted seriously the soviet treas urT. This money. according to Bolga, , was not intended for propaganda pur pose but for the purchase of raw ma |. terials to keep the Hungarian factorie going.
