WILLIAMsTowN, Mass, Aug. 1S.-
Hungary from the territorial point OF
view has now been left "about in the
position the United States would find
itself in were Ohio. Wisconsin and
Minnesota with the head waters Of the
Mississippi, suddenly annexed to Canada
and If an absolutely closed frontier were
then set up between the two countries .
Count Paul Telekl. former Hungarian
Premier, declared here tonight The
statement was made at the close of his
lecture at the Institute of Politics, in
which he discussed the "Pre-war
Economic Phases OF hungary"
Budapest" said Count Telek,, is
the largest flour milling city in Eulupe,
second only to Minneapolis In the entire
world. yet with the best wheat lands
cut off from Hungary as they are to-day
these mills are now at a standstill. This
is not because private enterprise has
found other trading centres and new
avenues OF outlet. but because the
Jugo-Slavla border line is closed by
customs. The Jugo-Slays do not permit
wheat to cross the border"
Old Hungary, Count Teleki said. was
so partitioned after the war that If the
portions were to be expressed in Ameri-

vania, Czecho-Slovakia Vermont and
New Hampshire with the remaining
one-tenth of Pennsylvania. Jugo-Slavi,

But economically the situation Is bet

Wisconsin cut into three parts, the
northern with it's forests and the head

Count Teleki asserted that great con-
troversies are likely to come to pass as
a consequence of the fact that Rumania
and Czecho-Slovakia now hold the
headwaters of the rivers. the floods
from which endanger the Hungarian.
and Jugo-Slavian plains"
1t was not alone Count Bismarck who
was responsible for the estrangement OF
Russia and Germany. declared Baron
Sergius A. Korff, former Deputy Gov
ernor-General of Finland, in his address
before the institute to-day. Bismarck
indeed was credited with being more
friendly to Russia than were many other
Germans, because there existed a very
strong group among the German gem
erals, with the chief of staff and his as
sistants the Gems Moltke and Wal
dersee, which was absolutely convinced
that a war with Russia would break
out sooner or later and considered that
preventive war which would ami

more preferable. Some Germans still
think that it would have been much bet

and forever"
The story of Russo-German relations,
as related by Baron Korff, is one of in
trigue and constant distrust and suspi-
