HITCHCOCK AND
 bORAH VARY ON
 ROOT CHANGES
Democrat Senator ts, Out Faults In Propose,. Amendments Borah Is for Them Strong
TRepublican A. p. Leased Wire1

WASHINGTON, March 31-Dis- agreement as to the necessity of the six amendments proposed by Elihu Root to the league of nations consti- tuition was expressed tonight in a statement by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska, chairman of the foreign re- laton committee of the last senate. The amendments proposed by MT, Root and contained in letter to Will liam H. Hayes, republican national committeeman, also were the subject of a statement by Senator Borah of Idaho, an opponent of the proposed covenant, who endorsed the viewpoint of MT. Roat.
 Asserting that the statement of Mr. Root was entitled ito the highest con- sideration," Senator Hitchcock eX- pressed the belief that his proposal for compulsory submission of all disputes, including those of national honor and vital interests, to an international tri- bunal for trial would raise "a storm of objection in the senate and would be going further than other nations would care to go.
 The amendment proposed by Mr. Root reserving the Monroe Doctrine and American questions including i'm migration, should at least be divided, the Nebraska senator said, as one DOT tion of the amendment treats of an international policy and the other a domestic policy.
 The Monroe Doctrine, Senator Hitch cock said. is extended to the entire world by the proposed covenant and specific inclusion is not necessary, "as our notice to the world still stands that we will regard it a cause of war If any nation attempts forcible aggreS = sion on the western hemisphere Picks Flaws In Changes

BUDAPEST, Sunday, March 3o.- (yia Vienna, Jay the Associated Press )-The plunge of Budapest into anti-capitalism continues with fever ish effort to show that the reign of law and order is undisturbed. The city is outwardly quiet since the first few days in which there was much footing, especially of jewelry shops As result of the footing it is reported l5O persons were executed by the new regime, their communistic ideas ap- parently being too violent
 The new freedom exists for those who are willing to live as the gov ernment dictates. Two important newspapers, the Pester Lloyd and the Azest, print only what the censor permits. Foreign correspondence may transmit by telegraph if they write what is desired by the government.
 Czech troops who have been fighting the communists in Southern Clovakia have captured the city of Kascahu 40 miles northeast of Budapest, and other points. The German colonists in Western Hungary and Pennsylvania are hostile to the communists and are attempting to establish their inde- pendence.
 AilieS Qulet so Far
 The French troops at Szegedin southern Hungary, and elsewhere, it is said. are permitting the communists to establish themselves in control as they wish, despite the fact that there W riots in small industrial centers where the communists held organized parades after the fashion set up in Budapest
 Those entering the country may leave only by the personal permission of Bela Kun, foreign minister. The min- ister has acknowledged in an inter- view that Hungary's commune does not desire to make war on the en- tente at present, but asserts that Hun- gary wishes 10 live peacefully with all He says:
 ''our only object is to protect the common people and defend their soil and also the industries, which are the \ property of the proletariat." ' Bella Kun makes no secret of the fact that he has merely used the last argument possible against the entente, saving:
 While the other countries of the former empire have been threatening the entente with bolshevicm if their wishes were not consulted, we merely had the courage to take this final step"
 The Hungarians declare that their action is guaranteed by President Wilson's fourteen points and that their ideas or personal national liberty are embodied in the American declar- ation of independence.
 Women are joining the Red army. Rela Kun has installed his offices in the Royal Castle. House rents have been reduced twenty per cent. The homes of the wealthy are being searched and paintings and works of art are being requisitioned for the purpose of establishing national gall leries, after the style of Moscow.
