Expect to Hear Soon of His
Resignation as Head of
Hungarian Government
REFUSED TO DEAL
WITH HIM AS HEAD
Herbert Hoover Thinks the
Situation Demands More
Drastic Action

Paris, Aug 22.-The supreme council
of the peace conference expect to hear
the resignation Of Archduke Joseph as
head of the Hungarian government with
in a few days. Apparently the council
is of the opinion that it is not neees-
sary to take any more drastic steps than
those outlined in the instructions sent to
the inter allied military mission in Buda-
pest on Tuesday or Wednesday for de-
livery to the Hungarian government.
In the instructions, the council sets
forth that it did not regard the govern
ment of Archduke Joseph as in any sense
a popular one, and declared it would not
deal with it,
Herbert Hoover, head Of the interna.
tional relief organization, who has re-
turned from a trip to central Europe,
knew of these instructions when he ap-
peared before the council yesterday and
believed them to be too mild to bring re-
suits. Mr.. Hoovers frank statement was
interpreted by the American delegation
as being in general accord with the at
titude of the council, although the coun-
ell is attempting to accomplish the down
fall Of Archduke Joseph by methods less
heroic than those advocated by Mr..
Hoover

unless immediate steps are taken to
accomplish these results" Senator Owen
said, 81 fear serious business reaction
will take place in the United States by
cutting off large part of our foreign
market for our surplus products, throw
ing these products back on the United
States and causing a very serious re-
cession of prices due to over produc-
tion. / agree that prices should come
down, but the reduction should be by
the elimination Of excess profits artifi-
cially placed upon goods and they should
not come down by cutting down the
wages paid to labor. There is natural
increase in prices in the United States
due to the expansion of our currency by
excess gold imports and by the devel-
opment of federal reserve notes against
commodities which had taken the place
Of gold as basis of note issue"
Senator Owen asked the president to
request the secretaries Of the treasury
and commerce and the federal reserve
board TO submit Recommendation as
to what shall be done to protect the
foreign commerce of the United States
and stabilize international exchange with
view to submitting such reports and
recommendations TO Congress.

lies on Coal Leading Toward Ruin.

Essen, Thursday, Aug 81 (By the As
sociated Pressl.--A commission of ex-
perts appointed by the German bureau
of labor to investigate economic condi-
tions and working hours in the coal
fields, has completed its examination of
the Rhenish district. Peter Kloeckner,
a leading Rhenish industrialist, informed
the commission at the hearing held here,
that the nation was facing an economic
catastrophe.
He said, even if the entente's levy of
100000 tons of coal was reduced by
half, Germany was heading toward ruin,
as the country cannot dispense 20,000,000
tons annually.
IF the entente powers enforce this
provision" he said, 1--WE must extin-
guish our blast furnaces, which is tan
tamount to cessation of all produc.
tion. What little coal there would be
left us would barely suffice to operate
railroads and lighting plants"
