economic as we'll as political. He
strongly advocated the league Of ma
tions, and said that the world must
stick to Wilson's fourteen principles or
there will be another war within a
few years.
Karolyl, a man OF noble birth, is
easily the outstanding lgure in Hun
garian affairs. Practically alone he
forced Hungarian Independence and Is
regarded as the one man who can weld
The millions Of his people into solid
entity.
Hungary was dragged into this war
by Austro-Germany," declared the pre-
mier. ."0ur policy was never made in
Vienna or Budapest, but In Berlin. We

Litovsk and Bucharest treaties.
Now that we have lost the war, alb
solutely, our only hope Is that Presl-
dent Wilson's principles will win at the
peace conference. The entente cannot
let Hungary be crushed. There must be
society OF nations with a fifteenth
point No peace which Is not partially
socialistlc Will safeguard the world from
future wars. President Wilson has this
10 mind. 10 constitutes his fifteenth
point'-as yet unstated-which must be
developed before a treaty is signed.

and social as well as political and lt
must be established soon or everything
accomplished by the war Will be lost.

foresight to stick to President Wilson's
fourteen points, else within a few years
we Will have another world war. Hun

When | came into the government

arms. / did so with the purpose OF
putting an end TO militarlsn. hoped
TO show absolute confidence in the VIII
sonian policies and relied upon their
basic Justice. Now the Czecho-Slovak.
Rumanlans and Serbs are overwhelming
us, selling all parts OF Hungary, though
In the armisiice IL was clearly stated
that the administration Of all occupied
territory would stay In the hands OF
the Hungarian. Thus IL was demon
strated that so far as the Czech-Slov-
axis, Rumanians and Serbs were con-
cerned, fhe armistice terms were mill
tary and not political and were not
meant to be kept.
Potatoes, wheat, other food supplies
and coal are in the hands OF the nations
us. Distribution Of neces-
sites Is impossible. Our economic and
political state is hopeless and unbear-
able. The people say that President
Wilson cannot prevail at the peace con-
ference. This agitation is very DANGER
Gus Budapest is on the verge OF the
great catastrophe-no, let us call 10 byI
its correct name-anarchy. This is not
developing from Russian propagauda.
but from the needs OF the people.
Public opinion Is beginning to have
the Impression here that the entente
wants us 10 become the victims OF Boil
shevism. There will be no help for us
unless the entente makes haste and
concludes peace. The present govern
ment cannot hold out much longer. Il
was who led the people to trust Presi-
dent Wilson's policies until the peace
could put them into effect.
I'VE cannot do anything unless we are
recognized by the entente We must re-
ceive assistance from our erstwhile enc
mics Elections will be impossible with
the Czecho-Slovaks and Rumsnlans in
habiting our lands The people are now
asking why led them 10 trust the en-
tente 10 recognize us. The people are
and will certainly revert to
acton which may develop into an
archy unless something is done quickly.
Regarding our boundaries, Hungary
must be a geographical unit. You can
cut the less and arms from a man and
he will live. But II you cut any more
he won't live. ! advocate the formation
Of a commission, headed by Americans,
TO FIX our boundaries. The Americans
entered the war to crush Prussian mill
tarism and Nitteleurepa II Mittel-
europa is succeeded by a group Of small
nations, irritated by being prodded,
there will always be trouble"
Karolyi's cabinet has declared war
against the Bolsheviks who are threat
ening Budapest, and is enforcing the
strongest measures of suppression. A
cabinet which arose over the use OF
force, was relieved by the RESIGNATION
Of two Socialist members Garami and
