Told Must Set
up Stable Govt

Paris. Saturday, July ga strong
arraignment of the present Hun
garian government is contained in
the allied statement issued today, IN
which it is made known to the Hun
garian people that they can only Sc
cure a removal Of the blockade and
receive food supplies If they Dust
Bella Kun and set up a truly repre-
sentative government. The text of
the statement, given out by Premier
Clemenceau in the name of the
Peace conference is as follows:
THE allied and associated govern
ments are most anxious to arrange
peace with the Hungarian people
and thus bring to an end a condi-
ton of things which makes the eco
nomic revival of Central Europe i'm
possible, and defeats any attempt to
secure supplies for it's population.
These tasks cannot even be attempt
ed until there is in Hungary a gov
eminent which represents it's peo-
pie and carries out in the letter and
the spirit the engagements into
which it has entered with the Asso-
ciated governments.
None of these conditions Is full
filled by the administration Of Bella
Kun, which has not only broken the
armistice to which Hungary is
pledged but at this moment is actu-
ally attacking a friendly and allied
power.
with this particular aspect of the
question it is for the associated gov
ernments to deal on their own re-
sponsibility. If food and supplies are
to be made available. if the blockade
is to be raised. if economic recon
struction is to be attempted. if peace
is to be settled, it can only be done
with a government which represents
the Hungarian people and not with
one that rests it's authority upon ter
rorism.
THE associated powers think it
opportune to add that all foreign &C.
cupation of Hungarian territory as
defined by the peace conference will
cease as soon as the terms Of the
armistice have, in the opinion Of the
allied commander-in chief. heen sat-
isfactorily complied with"

Says
Allies Sought
Peace in 1917

Berlin. Friday, July 25.-{By The
Associated Press).-Peace overtures
in Germany by Great Britain and
France were made through the Vati-
can in August, 1917, according to the
declaration of Matthias Erzberger,
vice premier and minister of finance,
in the German National Assembly to-
day. These overtures, he added, were
rejected by Germany.
Monsignor Pacilli. Papal nuncio to
Munich, on Aug. 10. 1917, addressed a
note to Imperial Chancellor Michael
is. enclosing a telegram from the
British minister at the Vatican to the
Papal secretary of state, to which
the French government assented. The
British note, Herr Erzberger ex-
planned, asked for a German decla-
ration for Belgian independence and
compensation, and. iquired as 70
what guaratees Germany would need
for herself.
Councillor Michaelis did not an
swer this note for four weeks; then
on Sept. "a. he wrote that the situa-
ton for giving such a declaration
was not yet sufficiently clear.
Herr Erzberger promised more i'm
portant revelations within a few
days. Monsignor Pacelli's note said:
II have the honor herewith to
transmit to your excellency a copy Of
a telegram which his excellency, the
King of England's minister at the
Vatican, has handed to the cardinal
secretary Of state. The. French gov
eminent gives its assent to the state
ments made in the aforementioned
telegram and His Eminence earnest
ly desires actively to continue his ef-
forts for the speedy attaining OF a
just and lasting peace. such as the
imperial government has shown such
a conciliatory readiness to accept.
Your excellency's attention Is par
ticularly drawn to the point in the
telegram relative 70 Belgium. with a
vitw to obtaining. firstly. a positive
declaration regarding the imperial
governments intentions with respect
to Belgium's complete independence
and compensation for damage caus-
ed Belgium through the war: second
ly. definite statement Of guaran-
tees for political economic and mill
tary independence which Germany
desires.
IT these declarations have a sat
isfactory effect. his Eminence thinks
an important step will have been
taken towards the further develop
ment Of negotiations. AS a matter
Of fact the minister of Great Britain
has already informed his government
that the Holy See will reply to the
communications in the aforemen-
toned telegram as soon as it has
received the imperial government
