The action of Great Britain in deal

of making the proposition directly to

The socialists claim the right to
representation in the val and home

fused to consider their claims and
has announced it's readiness to abdi-
cate. If the cabinet step out, a con-
dition will be created which will
necessitate election of a president so
that authority may be more central

the only logical choice for that office,
Is he is the only public man who has
the confidence of all factions.
The national council was scheduled
to meet today. This meeting was ex-
pected to bring matters to a head.
Karolyi has asked the allied food
commission to make a thorough
examination of international condi-
lions here, claiming that the armis-
tice contract has been broken through
the occupation of Hungary territory
by Sczech Slovaks and Roumanians.
