WARRINGTON OPINION FAV
ORB DEFINITE ACTION
AGAINST REDS.

Washington. March .2o.-Re-
ports If an increasing seriousness
of the situation in Hungary led to
an opinion expressed today by an
official Of the State Department
that 4the time had come for the
Allied nations represented at
Paris to take a definite and firm
stand against Bolshevism.'' Lit
tie news of all official nature was
received at the State Department
during the day, but dispatches
from Paris indicated that grave
apprehension was felt there, as
well as in Washington over the
situation.
Representatives Of the United
States in Vienna reported today
that the Food Administration had
one or two agents in Budapest.
and it was stated there might be
other Americans there. These
advices said there was no j l-feel-
ing toward Americans or British
in Budapest, but a strong feeling
of hostility was being manifested
against the French. This. it is
believed here, is due to the occupa-
ton BY French troops of the neu-
trail zones between Czechoslovakia
and Hungary and Rumania
and Hungary. 1t is be
lieved here that probably the
French members of the inter-Al-
lied mission in Budapest have
been informed. as has been re-
ported in news dispatches from
Vienna. but doubt was expressed
\. to the inclusion of Americans
or British in the internment order
