In these words, Count Michael
Karolyi Hungarian premier, described
to the United Press today what he be-

peace congress. The premier en-
phasized the fact that he is not So

principles or there will be another
war within a few years.
Karolyi, a man of noble birth, is
easily the outstanding figure in Hun
garian affairs. Practically alone he
accomplished Hungarian independ-
sence and is regarded as the one man

aple into a solid nation.
