ECONOMIC BARRIER
BLOW TO HUNGARY
Teleki Tells Institute His Coun-
try Is Oppressed by Com.
merciaI Treaties
VIALLATE URGES ECONOMY

| Williamstown. Mass. Aug. 26.---
Reviewing the industrial and economic
| situation of present day Hungary in 9
! lecture delivered before the Institute OF
| Politics last night. Count Paul TeleEi,
former Hungarian Prime Minister, de-
scribed the commercial difficulties his
country faces.
1--WE are not now going begging for
| foreign help" he said. "This would
have only the value Of morphine injcc- =
! tons. We do not look now for n ma
| tionnl loan. and we do not count on
foreign capital until we shall have sue
! ceedcd in presenting an acceptable
budget. Our ordinary budget for this
year was reduced by tive' and one half
billion crowns. We stopped printing
paper money. in consequence of which
the Hungarian crown galloped away
from the Austrian crown. and has today
three times its value. We impose as
heavy progressive taxes rs possible.
''One great difficulty In the way or
economic improvement in the Balkan
States lies in the restrictive barriers
set up by commercial treaties. Inter-
course is tied up unnaturally and un-
BEAUTIFULLY. 1t is interesting to see that
agricultural Rumania lets out only fixed
contingents of foodstufs to Austria.
Austria's exports are minutcly detailed.
Jugo- Slavia, which possesses in Croatia
3,750O00 acres Of forest. forbids the
export of more than 500 carloads. We
can call the economic agreement, con.
cluded in Eastern Europe, system OF
mutual chicanery."
Sees Nations Impoverished
"Inevitablc reduction for all nations
of their standard of living, perhaps even
below pre- war standards. was fore
told by Prof. Achille Niallate, French
economist, in his final lecture. The re-
ductiOn must come. he said, as an in
evitable consequence of the fact that
we are now under the necessity or
making savings out of our present pro-
duction in order to compensate tor the
assets consumed without replacement
during the war.
we have lived as prodigals upon our
reserves. not reconstructing them. Ma
tions which seem to have been enriched
as the result of the war are in truth
enriched not effectively. but only poten-
TALLY. They have become creditors OF
impoverished peoples and are not only
unable to recover quickly their loans,
but are also unable to dispose of their
excess of gooGs because of the poverty
of their expected customers.
Professor Nialatc said that the duties
and obligations assigned to the League
of Nations by the Versailles Treaty
involved great difficulties.
II am afraid the hopes we felt that
the great war was to be war to end
war have not yet been realized" he
said. 1--WE cannot be too optimistic;
unfortunately 1t is not yet reason that
controls men, but passion.

CHINA WILL REFUSE.
To Accept Japan's Proposals On Shan
tung Problem.

Peking. Sept. I2.-(By the Asso
ciated Press China will refuse to en-
terrain Japan's proposals relative to
settlement of the Shantung controversy,
il is declared by a person in the conf
dence of the administration. She will
base her action on the ground that the
award of Shantung TO Japan by the
treaty of Versailles was illegal, and
that Japan has no right to the priv
ileges in Shantung which were con
ferred by concession upon Germany,
which were turned over TO Japan at the
peace conference. Ii is pointed out
that the Japanese proposals make no
mention of the rights reserved to China
under the German agreement relative
to the redemption of the railways in
Shantung.
II is learned in other sources that
additional objection to opening negotia
tions has been found in the fact that
conversations thus begun would con.
tinue beyond the date of the conference
on limitation of ornaments and far
eastern questions to be held in Wash
ington and that the fact that such par
levs were in progress would effectually
bar China from bringing them up at
