PARIS, March 25-The Hungarian
situation moves, and the "Temps this
evening prints an editorial admirably
exposing the dangers Of the situation.
1t says:
"The Hungarian revolution is war
needed to show ths--only look at the
map. Hungary lies behind the front
ut which it was believed Bolshcvism
might be stopped. 1t is at tho centre
Of the new or enlarged states which
we must consolidate.
"The populations are so intcrminglcd
that virtually all these states now have
Magyar populations within their new
frontiers. The Magyar Soviet OF Buda-
pest will find accomplices ready at
hand under the Rumanian flag in
Pennsylvania, under the Czech regime
In Slovakia and under the Serbian au-
thority occupying part of the Banat
"And if the Hungarian Bolsheviki
join hands with those of Russia and
the Ukraine, can the Poles hold Lem
berg? 1t is in a powder factory that
the fires are laid.
May Spread to Sofia
"Between Rumania, Serbia and
Greece, the Bulgarians occupy a CEN
trail position resembling that of the
Magyars. Like the Magyars, they are
threatened with the loss of part of
their territory. The national Bolshe-
vism of Budapest may find imitators
at Sofia.
an German speaking Austria there
already is a sort of red army which
terrorlzes the inhabitants and has fall
sified the elections. 1t was organized
by Secretary of State julius Deutsch,
who is an extreme Socialist and also
furious partisan of union with
Germany. There, also, all is ready for
national Bolshevism linking Vienna
to Berlin"
And in Berlin itself who do we find
to sign the peace treaty? For weeks
past the German government repeats
That II the peace does not suit it will
not sign. The German public, excited
by the press campaign, manifestly ap-
proves Of this attitude. And now Ger
many's principal ally, the Hungarians.
take to themselves a government whose
very nature excludes any possibility of
an acceptable signature.
How arc Scheidemann and Brock
dorH. .Rantzau to conclude peace as we
Wlsh How can we negotiate with
them If they daily threaten a break?
Are we going to begin Brest-Litovsk
over again-a Brest-Litovsk where we
would have ranged against us the
methods of Trotzky and General Hoff-
man?
1.-The! 1.-The new y, situation demands new
the German frontiers, they must reach
q decision with regard to the Italian
demands, they must solve the questions
concerning Belgium, they must concil-
iate the territorial claims of the
Czechs, Poles, Jugo-Slavs and Ru-
manians.
"They must assert their financial
claims and secure pledge therefor by
means of stipulation that in certain
regions Germany. will remain in mill
society of nations, which Is necessary
for. maintaining solidarity between the
Allies and continuing the work of
peace
"Thcse arc the principal questions
that the treaty must promptly settle.
WIZ the German government refuse It's
signature? Or will 1t even declare In
advance TINT It cannot discuss 1t Oh a
basis decided by the Allies?
That sort Of sabotage would not par-
alyZe US. Whether Germany signs or
not, whether or not we are able to enter
negotiations with her parliamcnts, the
Aimed nations can and must approve
the final act OF the conference at Paris.
And their sanction would have value Of
itself without or without the German
countersign.
But those arc the only foundations
OF peace. 1t will be necessary then
gradually to erect an edifice. And one
OF the first conditions to fulfil will be
to have a policy in Russia"
The Journal" says: "There are not
two ways of parrying the blow, there
is only one. The Allies must throw
back Bolshevism in Hungary before it
is too late. 1t is no longer a CON
tingency, tho hazardous Russian expe
dition which faces us. Its imperious
necessity is the saving of Poland and
Rumania and reerecting .watertight
bulkhead, which has broken down."
Finally the paper declares: "All the
work OF the conference would be vain
II Germany holds the master trump Of
Bolshevism. The case is as serious as
that which arose when the Vienna con-
gress heard Of Napoleon's escape from
Elba."
The "Echo de Paris" observes: "The
remedy against the danger that is
threatening us Is the erection of n
Polish and Rumanian barrier, and
throwing back to the west and the south
those Ukrainians who serve as n bridge
between Moscow and Budapest to the
advantage Of Germany. Above all, the
