FROM TEMPER OF WORKING MEN
NOTHING NEED BE SURPRISING v
SAYS AUTHOR OF PLUMB PLAN
Serious Diplomatic
Complications May
Arise in Rumania

Paris, Aug. SERIOUS diplo-
matte complications are threat
ened to arise from the Rumanian
actions against Hungary The
seizure of Budapest in defiance
of express orders by the peace
conference to keep out has
seriously shaken UP harmony in
peace circles here.
The fact that the Rumanians
entered the Hungarian capital
after the peace conference had
begun diplomatic discussion with
the moderate government which
followed that of Bella Kun, is con-
sidered a most serious breach of
faith.
American peace cfflcials are highly
incensed by the Rumanian procedure
The fact that the Rumanian army is
largely officered by Frenchmen and
the apt sympathy and support of
France for Rumania has caused a
strain between American and French
officials here.
For days the French press has been
strongly praising the Rumanians and
their so-called victory over the Hun
garian forces. some papers going so
far as to call upon Rumania to act
a. the guardian of civilization" in
Central Europe.
It is known, however. that the Ru-
manian forces had absolutely no eff
feet upon the fall Of Bella Kun which
was due entirely to economic con
ditions and to the action OF the Hun
garian trades unions.
The truth Of the matter Is that the
Rumanian army was in full retreat
when the trades unions forced k1n's
downfall. The trades unions then i'm
medtately entered into negotiations
with the peace conference and prom
Used to HIVE up TO all terms OF the
armistice. The appeal of the new
ably considered by the conference,
and IN a long note. said to have been
written by an American pienipoten-
tiary, the Budapest ministry was
promised a square deal and an OPP
portunity to e-establish their own
economic life, in keeping with the
American contention here that CEN
trail Europe must be helped to help
itself.
AS soon as Bella Kun had been over
thrown and his forces dispersed the
retreating Rumanian army turned
around and began attacking the Hun
garians, although the peace confer
ence had accepted the Budapest gov
eminent.
The peace conference promptly sent
q wireless message to the Rumanian
authorities 10 stop the advance On
Budapest forthwith. 1t is learned on
the highest authority that the Ruman-
ians duly received this wireless order.
but went ahead and deliberately dis
obeyed 1t.
More orders were sent out by the
peace conference, They, too, were
ignored. This deliberate f1outing of
the conferences orders by Rumania
has created precarious diplomatic
tension. The Rumanian embassy
here gave out the naive statement:
We are complying strictly with the
terms of the armistice."
