Paris. April 1-fBy the Associa-
ted Press. Reports to the foreign
Office Indicate that the Hungarian
revolution was staged largely with
the purpose of testing the strength
of the will of the entente powers
and was designed to frighten them
with the idea that Germany might
also rapidly disintegrate.
Documents in possession of the
French and Ruman:an govern
ments, the newspapers say, prove
that the advent of the communist
regime in Hungary was due in
great part to a maneuyer of Count
karolyi in conjunction with the
German government. The move
ment was aimed directly at the al
lied powers, it is said.

A new cotton combine is announced

being a hundred million dollars. 1t
can begin business when half the
capital has been paid in. Since it is
engaged in the export business it can
not be reached by the antitrust laws
for operating in restraint of trade.
We have our doubts about the bene
fits the farmers will derive. Such a
corporation could not well operate
for philanthropic purposes. Its aim
will be to buy cotton as cheaply as
possible and sell it for as much money
as possible. That's the program.
