Bolsar, Communist Envoy
at Vienna, Says Karolyi
Government Is Made Up
of Unrepresentative Men
Soviet Treasury Depleted
Asks Only That Allies Find
Some Solution for His
Unfortunate Country

VIENNA, May Is (By The Associated
press)-Bolshevism is waning, the
Germans will sign the peace treaty and
delegates from the Hungarian COM
m.nist government should be per-
ri.ted to go to Paris, Alexis Bolgar,
the representative here of the Hun
csrisn communist government, de-
clsred among other things in a state
ment to the correspondent to-day.
"All we ask" he said, sis for the
Allies to find some solution for our un-
,ortunate country. When General
smuts was in Budapest Gas representa-
rive of the peace conference) we told
him we we're ready to get out, but we
would not be responsible for disorders
and bloodshed unless the Allies occu
pied the city, particularly American or
British troops rather than the Ru-
manians.
"If such q thing as self-government
is permitted then the Red Republic
represents Hungary. do not see why
the Allies cannot treat with the soviet
unoffcially. at least, and also consult,
perhaps, with former President
Karolyi and with men like Apponyi
and Andrassy, all of whom took part in
the former governments.
New Rule Self Constituted"
"The Allies should not take seriously
the view that the new government is a
self-corstltuted affair and is made up
of men unrepresentative of Hungary
and also without special prominence or
political experience. There are a num-
ber of such self-constituted govern
ments for Hungary living in hotels in
Vienna.
Speaking strictly in my official ca
pacity | ask 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
and also is keeping order. 1t is not
true that there have been any political
executions by US. The only executions
have been for crimes like murder or
robbery
ON the light OF events it was per-
haps unwise for US to nationalize prop
erty on so large a scale We might
have gone more slowly, but if reforms
like ours are carried out in twenty
years time instead OF three months,
they are accepted as reasonable by all
classes"
Friendly TO America
Bolgar like many others connected
with the Budapest soviet, is friendly
to America, and wishes he were an
American. lie said he felt that it was
in the United States that the most sane
solutions OF the problems of poverty
would be worked out. He expressed the
opinion that President Wilson was not
being treated fairly by the Allies, nor
with proper consideration.
he said he understood it had been
suggested in American quarters that
all Hungarian parties, including the
soviet, send representatives for a
meeting IN Switzerland to form a new
government for Hungary.
