1.-THE treaty Of peace cannot be
amended clause by clause, and if we
are told the covenant is an integral
part of the peace treaty it follows
that it will be impossible to amend
single clause in it. Benefits such as
the establishing Of indemnities and
frontiers, or obligations such as the
mandates restricting armaments, lin
iting military and naval quotas and the
powers of the league in relation tbere-
to, will be so closely intertwined that

"When told, therefore, that parla-
ments will have ample opportunity to
discuss the covenant or treaty it is
we'll to remember that they will only
have the opportunity to speak, not to
act. Thus the only real opportunity
for constructive debate is now, when
the wishes of the people can not only
be made known but can additionally be
translated.
Don't misunderstood me. l am in
favor of the league and l believe that
a majority of the nations both neutral
and belligerent arc in favor of it. A
wisely framed covenant may prove a
new world charter of peace, progress
and prosperity. But it ought not to be
forced upon the peoples without due
consideration and fair opportunity
for discussion. To do so VIII be to
court failure and possible disaster"

Paris Now Believes
Germany Will Follow Suit

Before the Budapest revolution we
had certain authentic indications from
Germany that our enemy did rot in
tend to sign the treaty of peace we
were making. They were distrusted
here, but they were at least noted. BY
contrast, now that the Hungarian
episode has occurred, one meets the
absolute conviction in Paris that Ger
many, following the Hungarian ex-
ample, will decline to sign the treaty
Of peace here formulated, and will in
vite the Allies to carry out their will
upon the passive body OF Germany,
given over entirely to Bolshevism.
viii the Allied powers care to risk
the Bolshevizing of Europe as far as
the Rhine and the Alps to enforce
their terms upon Germany, or will
| they, in the presence of this new
menace, modify their terms? This is
German strategy, this Allied predica-
ment.
Bolshevism in Hungary has taken a
| less aggravated form as yet than 1t
has acquired i'll Russia. Lenine, tele-
phoning to Bella Kun, the Bosheviki
leader in Budapest, advises him to
mako the Bolsheviki programme less
rough in his own country than it had
been in Russia. 1t is taking the form
of extreme communistic legislation, tt
be sure, but it has not yet become
Al
prevails in Russia, and it has identi
fed itself with the national aspirations
Of the Magyars, rather than with The
international theories of the group OF
which Lenine and Tratzky are tht
conspicuous leaders.

Allies Left Hungary
At Mercy of Neighbors

The Allies had alike by their decla-
rations of principle and by their secret
treaties of policy promised that the
subject races in this Hungarian area
the Rumanians in Pennsylvania and
Banat, the Serbs and Croats in West
ern Banat, Croatia and Slavonia, on
the southern edge of the Hungarian
plane, together with the Slovaks in the
mountains northward - should each
have an independent existence, based
on the right of the self lf-determination
OF nations.
Such a programme condemned Hun
gary to conditions of state of little
moro than 100000 people, with an
area hardly larger than that of New
York and New Jersey, without defen-
sible frontiers, without an outlet on
the sea, alike militarily and econom-
ically at the mercy of it's neighbors
There was no injustice in this deci-
sion of the powers. Since subject poo-
pie desired liberty. since some of them
at least had fought on the Allied side
titled to it, but if one looks at the map
soy a moment, one still sees that a
death sentence to the proud people
she had for hundreds of years domi-
sisted the country between the Drave
aaa the Carpathians, and considered
tie serritory as their own and other
races as intruders, was thus pro-
nounced.
Immediately after the collapse of
Austria, the Southern Slavs occupied
Western Banat and in general the line
of the Drave River, thus cutting off a
quarter of Hungary. At first, the Ru-
manians occupied only half of Transyl-
vania, while the Slovaks promptly
seized the mountain regions between
the crest of the Carpathians and the
Hungarian plain. Last week the Ru-

dominated Paris for four months. We
thought in january that the conference
of peace WAS to create Utopia; we be-
gin to realize in the last days of March
that 1t was an open question whether
it could restrain anarchy. We believed
IN January that Germany lay helpless,
awaiting the just sentence of our
court; we realize in March that we
have lost our last decisive weapon to
coerce Germany if she should choose to
resist the decision of the court.
1t is essential for Americans to
understand at once the full meaning of
the Hungarian episode. of the last few
days. 1t indicates that Bolshevism has
taken q wholly new character and be-
como Infinitely moro dangerous than it
was before.
Hitherto BolshevIsm unquestionably
has been directed at the destruction of
existing political and national bodies
seeking to place universal communism
in the saddle in Europe. The Hunga-
rian revolution was something else. 1t
Was tAe HlSt Step lOWdlu Matchmaking
Bolshevism and using it as a weapon
for the defence of national aspirations
ambitions and claims of the peoples.
| am going to try to analyze this
Hungarian episode at some length, so
that it may be clearly understood, for
it represents the most formidable
single event since the armistice.
The Hungarian kingdom as it exist
ed at the moment when the Austro-
Hungarian Empire collapsed consisted
of an area somewhat larger than that
of Italy, with a population of upward
of 22.000,000, not more than 100000
of which at most were actually Hun
garian. The rest were subject peo-
pie, Rumanians, Serbs, Slovaks. Nor
did the Hungarians constitute solid
block. At least 100000 were scat
tered over the fringes and on the
edges of this territory.
