Washington, March 27.-German
hopes of reconQuering American mar

Users of dyes, chemicals. fertilizers

commerce.
While the alien property custodian's
opinion did not touch on copyriS hts

CALLS FOR ACTION
British Press Demands Sharp
Rebuke for Hungary.
Peace Conference Learns Les
sOn-End of Treaty Delay.

London, March 27.-The London
newspapers regard the action of Hun
gary as a direct challenge to the asso-
ciated powers and call for firm and
sharp action in order to establish con-
troll of the situation.
The Daily Telegraph. commenting
on conditions, says:
THE Hungarian government has
openly renowned the armistice. which
alone would have raised the necessity
of taking firm and prompt measures
to reassert the authority of the victors
Coupled as it is with a plain invitation
to the armed Bolshevism of Russia to
come to the aid of those defying the
associated powers. the action of Hun
gary is tenfold more serious. 1t calls
for sharp and firm action
The Telegraph observes that the re-
cent events have already produced an
effect upon the proceedings in Paris
and alludes to the four statesmen now
meeting daily at President Wilson s
residence as in effect a council of war
1t expresses the opinion that the peace
conference has learned its lesson
and that an end has been made ''o1
too lengthy deliberation."

WILL NOT GO TO RED
Czecho-SIoyak National Spirit Too
Strong-UnIess Hunger Interyencs.

Paris, March 27.-"Our national
sentiment is too strong to yield to
Bolshevik temptations" said DR.. Karl
Kramarz, Czech-Slovak premier. at a
dinner given by the press of Paris
last night. "Our nation will stand
firm against it unless it is overcome
by Bolshevism's main agent-hun-
ger"
Among the guests were NJ. Benes,
Czecho- Slovak foreign minister: NJ,
Trumbitch. one of the Serbian dele
gates to the peace conference: Basile
Maklakoff Russian ambassador to
France: Prince Lvoff, former Russian
premier and now in Paris in the in
terest of the anti-Bolshevik forces in
Russia. and Boris Savinkoff, former
military governor of Petograd, who is
in this city as an associate of Prince
Lvoff.
Doctor Kramarz in conversing with
the Associated Press admits that Boil
shevism is in dangerous proximity to
Czecho-Slovakia but was distinctly OPP
timistic as to the ultimate failure of
this system of government. He added,
however that if "Bolshevism is vic
torious in Russia, then Russia will in
evitabIy fall under German influence"
He said that the economic situation in
Czecho-Slo had been much al
leviated by the receipt of supplies
from overseas by way of Hamburg.
