London Press Urges
Firm Stand to QueN
Hungarian Rerolt

LONDON, March 2C.-Thc London
newspapers regard the action of Irun-
gary as a direct challenge to the as
soclated powers and call for irm and
sharp action in order to establish con
troll of the situation. "Thc Daily
Telegraph" commenting on conditions,
says:
"rhe Hungarian government has
openly rcnounccd the armisticc, which
alone would have raised the necessity
OF taking firm and prompt measures to
rcassert the authority Of the victors.
Coupled, as it is, with n plain invita-
ton TO the armed Bolshcvism of Rus
sia to come to the aid of those defy
ing the associated powers the action Of
Hungary is tenfold more serious. 1t
calls for sharp and firm action"
"Thc Telegraph" observes that the
recent events have already produced
an effect upon the proceedings in Paris
and it alludcs to the four statesmen
now meeting daily at President Will
sons residence as, in effect, Il council
OF war. 1t expresses the opinion that
the peace conference has "lcarncd its
lesson" and that the end has been
made "of too lengthy dcliberation."
Drastic Measures Urged
"Thc imperative obligation of the
hour is to reasseIt our mastery of the
sltuation,' it continues. "The associ-
ated powers possess the means TO do
so and there must be radical re-
moval Of the idea that they do not
possess them or arc incapable of using
them, for this idea is the sole cx-
PLANTATION OF the recent display of re-
calcltrance in Germany and of the fiat
defiance now uttered IN the name of
Hungary"
"Thc Times" says that the Germans
are making the use which was expected
OF the Bolshevik movement in Hungary.
The different parties in Germany"
says the newspaper "arc agreed that
the events III Hungary must force the
Associated powers to moderate their
demands on Germany, but it is salts
factory to hear that the majority So
cIalists and the Schc idemanns gov
ernment, so far as is known, remain
true to their policy of making peace
| quickly with the Allies and obtaining
food for Germany. They seem at pres
ent to understand that the associated
powers viii not tolerate any nonsense.
individual ministers are reported to
have used foolish defiant language to
the crowd, but the quiet transfer of
the German merchant ships outweighs
any amount OF vain boasting.
1 "The business of the conference is
to confirm the German government
in their conviction that nothing is to
be got by equivocation or intrigue and
that the detection of Hungary will no
more induce the Allies to waver in
their decisions than the carefully
timed insurrection in Egypt. The con
ference. like all other conferences. has
made mistakes, but it has never Ainche d
in its determination to dictate peace
to It's enemies and to see that thcv
accepted the dictated terms. Among
these terms must be the creation of a
strong Poland, with safe access to the
sea.
1T does not seem to have occurred
TO the Germans who are drawing morals
for the Allies from the rise Of Boil
shevism in Hungary that this event
may impress the associated powers
more strongly than ever with the ad-
vantages of giving Poland that access
through Danzig."
"rhc Daily Chronicle" says:
THE position is that ono of the dc.
featcd enemy states has broken the
armistice and declared war on us. If
we take up the challenge and rein
! force our control, the world will know
