possible military measures discussed by
the council. In view OF the grave situa-

causes

extremists have been steadily increasing
in power from the day of the armistice.

ternal relations the early hope of Hun
gary for a rapprochement with the
Allies had not been realized until re-
Gently.
Two events likewise occurred which
are felt to have direct bearings on the
crisis. The first was the order by the
Allies that the Hungarians withdraw to
the Rumanian boundary fixed by the
Rumanian treaty OF 1916. The second
was the allied order to deliver to the
Czecho-Slovaks their privately owned
ships on the Danube.
II was known here that Count Karolyfs
opponents were prepared to take drastic
action in the event these expected orders
actually were issued. and Karolyi him
self had declared that he would sur
render tho Government in such circum-
stances.

The Rumanian Minister made this
statement in the course of talk regard
