career. The Premier and all his
friends believe that he will "come

Lloyd George has rearranged

more popular with the masses Al

his long and brilliant public career
Crowds gather to cheer him when

More Popular Than Ever.
An interesting sidelight on the
resignation Of Lloyd George and his
coalition government Is the disap
pointment shown by the Prince OF
Wales. The Prince In recent years
has looked to the Premier for pa
ternal advice In personal as well a
public affairs. II il even reported
that the Prince revealed little af
fairs Of the heart to Lloyd George
when he would speak Of them tc
no one else. The Welsh statesman
and the youthful heir to the throne
were chums rather than fellow
statesmen"
The popularity Of the former
Premier was amply shown when he
accompanied the Prince Of Wales
to the Guild Hall when the Prince
was officially welcomed home after
his Indian tour. The gigantic
crowds which filled the streets
seemed to cheer the then Premier
as much as the Prince.

against the government OF Soviet
Russia
Fortunately the United States has
taken no part in the procedures Of
compromise regarding Russia. BY the
pronouncements OF the Secretaries Of
State Of two Administrations the gov
crnment of TIE United States has
taken high ground in principles OF
governmental policy. The government
Of the United States has not confused
opportunism with principle.
The people of the United States
reprehend the principles of the Soviet
government; they consider them sub
vcrsive Of everything that has been
gained by free men in their struggle
for free government from Magma
Charta to this day. Neither they nor
their government can have traffic with
a government which stands for such
policies and principles They join with
western Europe in demanding n re-
duction of the Russian army; the
muzzlng of Russian propaganda; the
clearing up OF the relationship be-
tween government and the lnterna-
tional; the due recognition Of Russian
debts and the sacredness Of contract
But they place their case on higher
grounds. and in these grounds they
take the offensive. They demand that
before she is recognized the Russian
government accept the standards of
the free nations Of the world. In par
ticular they demand that before Amer
ican resources and American iHstitu-
tions come to the aid of the Russian
government

Royalist Movement
Continues Despite
Death of Charles
Hungarian Monarcl,ists; Con
slider Prince Otto Sue
ccssor as King; Demand
Return of Ex-Ruler's Body

Copyright 1922 New York Tribune &c.
BERLIN, April 1G.--Thc Hungarian
monarchists arc not disheartencd by
the death of their former King,
Charles, but are fighting the electoral
contests now in progress with great
vigor. large body Of the population
Of Hungary has come to associate
monarchism with prosperity and long
for its return, but the great question
is how to re-cstabish it, particularly
in view of the opposition of the Allies
ard the Little Entente
Count Julius Andrassy, former For
eign Minister, against whom charge
of high treason for his part in the
attempt last year to put Charles back
on the throne is still pending, told the
Tribune correspondent in Budapest
that the death Of Charles had not
changed the political situation in any
way
"Thc legal position Of Charlcs's heirs
is simple" he said "On the ground
of those stipations Of praematic sane
ton. which concern Hungarian success
sion and which, despite the dissolu-
tion of the Austro-H hungarian mon
archy, retain their validity unchanged,
Prince Otto, the first born son Of the
iDrmer sovereign, is now our King. As
there is to-day no paladin the Queen
is, in accordance with old traditions,
the guardian of the King until he
comes Of age.
"l7Eom a political point of view how
ever, it is to be regretted that the
crow ped King of Hungary is dead"
Regarding the movement on foot to
have tTharles's body brought back to
Hungary for burial Count Andrassy
said:
I've demand that the body be
brought to our country for eternal re
pose since republican Austria in all
probability would not even allow it
TO be taken to Vienna and would re-
gard his memory as unworthy of hon
oring. Hungary must protect the dead
King against whom so many turned,
"The Ent ente demanded the sur
render Of m tny German subjects, but
Germany, while paying billions in
money, showed no inclination to give
up single soldier. TO the demands
Of the Entente, the German Socialist
government replied that there WAS not
single police man in Germany who
would hand ove9 one of his country
men to the Allies. Holland was
threatened by the Entente, but in vain.
She did not surrender the former
Kaiser We surre ndered the King of
Hungary, and now. in the presence of
his corpse, we mast show our better
feelings"

ccedings. The writ would have the
sane effect as a habeas corpus action,
SO far as obtaining General Semenoff's
release is concerned.
Asks Fair Hearing
Before leaving for Washington. Mr.,
Clark declared that there was some
thing distinctly Russian about the en-
tire proceedings here and elsew where
in which General SemenoT has become
cntangled. He said that at least Gen
era Semenof's side might be heard
before condemnation, of the kind con-
tanned in Senator Borah's telegram to
Colonel William Hayward, United
States Attorney at New York, demand
ing that the General be arrested as a
murderer, were pronounced.
"ThinGs would be little bit less
Russian in proccdurc,' Mr.. Clark said,
"if any one making n demand like Sen
atOr Borah's would wait until the eVl-
dencc was all in before moving. We
have not been given any opportunity
to give our evidence yet We have
gathered clean-cut evidence in behalf
Of General Semcnoff, and it shows that
thore was not entire cooperation with
him in the Siberian situation, VIII atever
may be said by Colonel Morrow or
others in their accusations.
"Thc fact that a man like David P.
Barrows. president of the University
Of California, who was a colonel in The
eXpeditionary force to Siberia. has
come out with a statement Of General
Scmcnoff's military ability and admire
tiOn for Americans, shows that there
is evidence to be presented on the other
side
Friendly to the Jews
Il shall tell the committee that be-
fore General Scmenofr is executed ne
should be heard. We have evidence
TO show that he was not antiSemitic.
but that he was friendly with the Jews
in Siberia, and TINT he prevented
number of contemplated pogroms.'
Police were stationed on the roofs
overlooking the jail yard yesterday to
prevent the deep feeling and easily
aroused East Side populace from
mounting to the housetops and giving
the general another "shivaree." Gen
cral Semcnof kept phlegmatically to
ner in the jail yard most of The day.
Mr.. Goldin said that although he
had been refused admittance to the
jail on grounds that did not seem to
him to be valid in the circumstances,
he fingered in the ghborhood for
half an hour. 1t was all "tommyrot"
about the generals being annoyed, he
said. There were small crowds Of peo-
pie in the neighborhood, but they were
not jeering at the jail and seemed to
be minding their own affairs, Mr.
Goldin thought.
Mr.. Prentice said that Mr.. Clerk was
going to Washington as General Sem
enoff's counsel to ask for a hearing
He also will look over the testimony
taken before the Committee on Labor.
General Scmenoff will join him there
as soon as his release can be effected,
