Hungary's Banking Situation Said to
 be Very Cheerless

Budapest, March 10- Roland He Gedus, director of the Commercial Bank and finance representative of the Hungarian delegation sent to Paris to discuss peace terms, says Hungarys banking situation cannot be looked on as cheerful. "Al: the banks loaned money to the gov ernment during the war and later so if the government can't pay, we are injured" he adds. "The abili- ty of the state to pay depends on the kind of a peace we get.
 According to the boundaries now fixed, it is difficult for us to oper- ate our industries. My bank oper- ates about 25 small railways, for in- stance, and part of these railways are in our territory, part in that of | our neighbors, the Rumanians, the Serbs, Czechs and so on. Because of the line drawn by the peace con ference, these railways may have to cross and recross customs from tiers several times.
 "There are many sugar factorie7 hindered in the same way. The fac tory may be left in Hungarian terri. tory while the beet crop is across Q customs line. The largest iron works in Hungary are cut off from their ore, the latter having been given to the Czechs.
 Agriculture is the only thing left us. and with rich land and an ener- getic people we are bound to rise again The waters of the Danube 1 haven't been taken from us and with irrigation we may do a good , deal.
