PEKING, July (By The Associated

Crisis Near in Budapest
Bloody Policy of Soviet
; Just Proclaimed Is Held
to Reveal Reds Straits

PARIS, July 5.-The council of five
reached the conclusion at meeting
yesterday that it is impossible to make
peace with Bella Kun's government in
Hungary, according to the Havas
Agency. Maintenance of the blockade
it was said, still is necessary, although
its. effects have not been felt by the
Hungarian revolutionary government,
as it is appropriatng foodstuffs for it,
self and its friends.
Recent events at Budapest have in
dicated that the affairs of the Soviet
government there are on the verge of
a crisis. Forty youths from the mill
tary academy and three officers were
executed last Wednesday after Bella
Kun, head Of the communist govern
ment, issued proclamation that
blood shall flow henceforth, if neces-
sary, to insure the protection of the
proletariat." The executions followed

Bella Kun, in an interview with The
Associated Press correspondent in
Budapest, June %, declared "the Allied
policy toward Hungary should be one
Of non-interference in our internal
affairs and the Allies also should raise
the blockade"
The Hungarian Soviet chief reiter-
ated his faith in communism. Asked if
the Hungarians wanted communism, he
said "The majority is passive, but the
minority is active. Anyway, it is i'm
possible for US to work under capital

announcement in Parliament than the
members Of the American peace dele
cation. The President before his de-
parture did not even inform Robert
Lansing, the American Secretary of
State, and now the head Of the United
States delegation. It is assumed the
decision regarding William Hohen-
zollern was one Of the many agree
ments of the Council Of Four which
have not been given to the public.
American officials are inclined to
believe that Premier Lloyd George won
the President over to the plan of
trying the ex-Kaiser before a special
tribunal in London only short time
before the President sailed for home,
and that Mr.. Wilson forgot to leave
instructions with the delegates here.
At any rate, it is the intention of the
American delegation to ask the Presi-
dent for Information. The delegates
believe with Mr.. Lansing that Holland
will refuse to give up Wilhelm or his
son.

Fold Increase of Japanese
Births Is Sounded in State
ment by Senator Phelan
NetU York Tribune
WASHINGTON Bureau

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Declaring
that California is now tributary
colony" to Japan, Senator Phelan, in a
statement to-day called for an end to
the practice Of allowing Japanese
women to come to this country on the
plea that their husbands are here.
Through this circumvention of the
"gentleman's agreement" between this
country and Japan barring Japanese
male laborers, Japanese women who are
not bona fide wives gain admittance to
this country, Senator Phelan declared
with the result that probably one-third
of the rural population of Los Angeles
County, the most populous county in
Callfrnia, is already substantially jap
anese.
The statement reads:
Il was surprised and alarmed to read
the official statement that one-third
OF the births outside of Incorporated
cities and twns in Los Angeles County,
California, were Japanese. That means
that one-third of the rural population
are substantially Japanese, and as the
rural population is the backbone of
every county the gravity of the situa-
ton must appeal to all thinking men
and women.
The State Board Of Health reports
that the Japanese births in the last
ten years have increased 5000 per cent
and the white births have decreased
about per cent. I do not think we
require any further confirmation of
the silent invasion of California, di-
rected from Japan, because Japan con-
trolls her nationals wherever they 60

oeen Tor some time pasta tributary
colony to Japan.
THE rats are in the granary. They
nave gotten in under the door and
they are breeding with alarming rapid
lty. We must get rid of them or lose
the granary What mean by saying
tn: rats have got under the door is
thus: The door is presumably closed
against them. the 'gentlemen's agree
ment' stipulated that no laborers would
be given passports from Japan, but
women are given passports on the
theory that they are the wives of the
men who are already here They, of
course, cannot be bona fide wives of
the men whom they have never seen,
as we understand marriage.
"These women work in the fields as
laborers and so circumvent the agree
ment, and then they give birth to chill
dren and thus defeat the purpose of
the agreement by increasing the horde
of non-assimilable aliens who are
crowding the white men and women
off the land. If this is not checked
now, it means the end of' the white
race in California, the subversion of
American institutions, and the end of
our Western civilization. The fight is
IN: On which side do you stand?"
"The method referred to by Senator
Phelan, by which Japanese women
come to this country is the picture
bride" device. A Japanese in this
country who has a wife in Japan asks
permission for her to come to this
country. Proof and Identification of
the wife are made through submission
OF the wife's picture to the immigra-
tion authorities.
