PARIS, April 5.-Count Albert Ap- ponyi head of the Hungarian peace delegation, in the second and conclud- ing article on the Hungarian peace treaty which he rrcpal eI for The Associated Press, calls fo. q plebis- cite of the inhabitants of the regions severed from Hungary for the Yer sailles treaty. He says:
 Comparing Hungary as she was be- fore the war with the new states created or aggrandized through dis memberment, the situation is this:
 The Hungary of old is the finest natural geographic unity ill Europe, whose limits are fixed by mountains and rivers; whose parts are econom- ically interdependent, so as to make the whole almost self-supL Lolting 4 U. more than 1000 years this part of Europe never gave trouble to the rest, rather averted from it whatever trouble threatened it's tranquility, and safety from the east While historic Hungary stood. the troublesome area of Europe was as distant frCm the 
 'To make the moral cohesion of her people perfect. one factor alone was wanting; racial unity On this plea was her dissection planned. New constructions arise on her ruins, based on the racial principle, ir- respective of geography, history ol political economy. We make the as- tonishing discovery that these new constructions are raciaily quite as mied as Hungary has been.'
 [ Count Apponyi declares that 54.5 percent of the 1S,000000 inhabitants of Hungary proper" were Magyars, 16.1 Rumania, 107 Slovak, 10.4 Ger man and the rest Serb, Ruthenian or miscellaneous. Comparing these to the newly organized or aggrandized states he says that the population of Czecho-Slovak has claimed parts of Hungary containing 3,570,000 persons of which 47 per cent are SloVak and 37 per cent Magyar or German. Ru. mania claims territories on which live about 5,260,000 souls of which 5S per cent are Rumanian and 43 per cent Magyar or German. The pop ulation of parts of Hungary anneexd by Jugo-Slavia, says Count Apponyi, is only 9 per cent Jugo-Slav, 33 per cent Magyar and 27 per cent German. Count Apponyi continues:
 These figures show that the only principle of organic unity that has been wanting to Hungary's racial uni ty is likewise wanting to the states artificially built up on her ruins; the difference consists only in this. that Hungary was possessed of every oth- CT prin ciple of unity. while the new states have none, absolutely none. What is still worse, the leadership in them will be transferred to races of inferior culture, the results Of which We may already notice after one years occupation of the teiritor- ies torn from Hungary. There Is 2 wanton destruction of cultural val ues, universities, high schools and others On the territory occupied by Rumanians, 5000 grammar schools are deserted. the former teacher hay ing been expelled and nobody being found to supplement him. in conse- quence of which more than 100000 children are left without education of any sort. There IS a conspicuously lower level of public functionaries and the general prevalence of semi barbarous methods of government
 What can result from this state Of things? Will those people who are violently severed from their beloved old associations only to be subjected to alien government uf an inferior sort-those 4,50O000 Magyars and Germans torn from Hungary-win they ever be reconciled to denational- ization implying economic losses and cultural retrogression9 Can the con Cience of humanity tolerate such q downfall of millions? Anyhow it is certain that those new constructions. with no vital principle in them. vii! be distracted by the permanence of a most violent. because most leglti- mate, irredentism and that through them eastern and central Europe will know no rest, till tho equilibrium rep
 
 Those facts answer the question how far the destruction of Hungary and the constructions planned on her ruins might promote the general wei fare of mankind? It would confer on our part of Europe the following blessings:
 Racial discussions not assuaSed but embittered: permanent unrest, implying danger of new wars.
 Economic difficulties echanced; ; thereby social dangers aggravated.
 Cultural retrogression in govern ment learning, general standard or education.
 But how does liberty fare in the proposed peace.treaty? In it's terms millions of men would be driven from one allegiance to another, without be ing consulted as to their wishes. ln the cast of nearly half of them, of Magyars and Germans who should be- come Czecho.SloVak. Rumanian or s.r.hi fI.
