Rumania, Defying lilies, Files at Hungary

Tribune discovers one hopeful phase
in the prompt willingness of the AL
lies to mete out justice to an all but
annihilated enemy. 1t says:
"The intervention in Hungary's be-
half is almost without precedent and
represents vision and a generosity
which are new in human annals. Yet
the coterie Of malignants who had no
grief when Rumania, Belgium, Serbia
and Poland were under the dissecting
knife will doubtless shed crocodile tears
because the Rumanians are not forced
out in twentyfour hours"
On the other hand, the interven-
tion of the Allies so far remains
rather academic exhibition of good
will, as the Rumanians don't seem
to be much impressed. The Paris
correspondent of "The Chicago Trib-
une" explains:
There is ample ground for the per-
plexity of the conference. Rumana

China-A Blind Man
The "Niroku" saws:

ne NlrOku says:
"ln declining to sign the peace treaty
China has shown herself to be a blind
man who has no fear of a snake as
a japanese phrase has it. China has
fallen out of the Allies cooperation.
and she will not be able to share in
the benefits of the Allies joint agree
ments. She must work out her own
destiny unaided, but she is powe rless
to do so. If China attached her sigma
ture to the peace treaty the Powers
would not be able to satisfy their am
hitions toward China. Her refusal to
sign is calculated to give Great Britain
and the United States the opportunity
to carry out their ambitious designs
in the Orient without any restraint.
"China may be content with this
state of affairs, but it is necessary
for Japan to preserve the integrity of
China, no matter whether this is liked
by China or not. Japan must protect
the Orient against persecution by
Europe and America. In order to at
tain this object it may be necessary
for Japan to interfere in the affairs of
China.
"The reason why China should refuse
to sign the peace treaty in spite of the
obvious consequences resulting there
from is that her statesmen have no
regard for the interests of the state

that the gorgeous light blue and red
uniforms of the generals Of The
Hapsburg army are Seen again on
the Budapest streets. The Cabinet
of Archduke Joseph-who, accord
ing to some dispatches, has assumed
the title "Governor of State.' and
according to others has revived the
ancient Magyar Office of Palatine-
IS composed almost exclusively of
generals and colonels of the old
mperial-royal army, with one or
two junker politicians thrown in.
The archduke has appealed to the
Paris conference for recognition
and permission to send delegates for
the negotiation Of peace; he also
has declared, according to the dis
patches, that for the moment it is
impossible to tell whether Hungary
Will emerge as a republic or mon
archy.
Meanwhile not only do the
Rumanians fail to comply with the
Allied demand to stop interfering,
but they continue their advance
across the Danube into the western
part Of Hungary. On Wednesday
they were reported as having occu-
pied Szekesfehevar, or Alba Regia,
an ancient Magyar city seventy-nve
miles southwest of Budapest.
A very interesting phase Of the
situation is the attitude Of Czecho-
Slovakia. Here the activities Of the
Rumanians in behalf Of Hapsburg
restoration arc viewed with the
greatest alarm. The parties Of the
left, especially the Social Democrats,
are voicing the demand to send an
army to Hungary without delay and
to aid the Magyar democratic e,e-
ments TO get rid Of the Hapsburs
dictator. The fear is general that

The peace council in Paris is unable
to make up its mind about the Hun
garian situation and the action of
Rumania. Some of the members of
the council believe Rumania is pre-
pairing to defy the council and sep
arate herself from the Allies, while
others think it necessary for Ru-
manian troops to remain in Buda-
pest to maintain order and steady
the situation. There were demon
strations in Prague against the
seizure of the Hungarian govern
ment by Archduke Joseph and indi-
cations that the Czecho-S Slovaks
might invade Hungary in order to
help the Hungarians to overthrow
the archduke.

TIME significance of the Ru-
manian conquest of Hun
gary and the subsequent

attempt-so far success
ful-to restore the Hapsburgs in
the person of the new Magyar die
tator, the Archduke Joseph, is made
evident by the rather mixed feel
ings with which the news was re-
ceived by even the most fervent
opponents of Hungarian Bolshevism
in Allied countries. The joy over
the collapse of Bella Kun's Com
munist regime is overshadowed by
general anxiety in which two strains
may be discerned. First, there is
the fear that the Hohenzollern King
Of Rumania may use his military
power and his exceptionally favor
able strategic situation for an out
right reinstallation of Hapsburg au-
tocracy in the neighboring country.
Second, a general upheaval of labor
and radical sentiment in Allied
countries is apprehended as re-
action to the overturn of the demo-
cratic Peidll government by the
Hungarian nter-revolutionists in
collusion with one of the Allied
governments. The unity of the al
lance and the none too stable do
mestic peace of the Western powers
are gravely compromised on both
counts.
The acuteness of the danger is
evidenced by the apparent dismay
with which the supreme council of
the Allies at Paris is watching the
developments. The Allies have re-
peatedly warned Rumania to let
Hungary's internal affairs alone.
But Rumania seems to be bent upon
defying the Allies, we'll aware that
should break occur the means of
coercion at the Allies disposal are
rather slender. The various as
poets of the situation are discussed
by the American press with more
alacrity than perhaps any Euro
pean event since the presentation
of the peace treaty. The New York

statesmen it will be impossible for her

The "Osaka Asahi," while discred-
iting suspicious that the United
States may have Influenced Chinas
action, says, nevertheless, that
there is some suspicion that a GER
tain strong country may be behind
Chlna's refusal to sign the peace treaty.
Whereas the Chinese delegates refused
to talk with Japanese journalists with
regard to that refusal, they received
American Journalists very cordially.
This gives rise to some suspicious. 1t
is impossible to believe, however, that
tho wise Americans would cause China
to take an action which sets at naught
international faith.
"The Chinese government instructed
1T" delegates to sign the treaty uncon-
dltlonally, and it is unbelievable that
it should withdraw its instructions.
We can only interpret China's refusal
to sign as an action taken by her
delegates at their will. One OF the
reasons for such an action may be that
there has been no thorough understand
ing between the government and KS
delegates. The principal reason is,
however, that the Chinese delegates
are more solicitous CT winning popular
.ty with their people than of protecting
the interests of their country, and
their action must have been unexpected

of this point of view, however, may
now be gathered for the first time
