the weakening surroundings OF lux

great. His ancestors were kings OF
the fat little land OF Pennsylvania,
which the great powers took away

count lost vast estates. but his wealth

Benes and Bethlen are not unlike in

several languages. and each is

Count Bethlen has had a longer po-

closely associated with the admins

and 50 far I have met very few who

then stories as to the abuses of the

ment. Some of them may have a
grain Of truth, for tho people are
ruled with an iron hand.

THE tract known as the Kingdom
OF Hungary contained $4,000
square miles. 1t was more than three
times the size of Ohio and larger than
Great Britain and IRELAND. 1t had
twenty millions of people. When the
powers came to consider it they found
it was inhabited by half dozen races
and they cut off a slice here and
there on the basis of race. To make
up tho new republics and Kingdoms
which would be more easily controlled
In the future. they gave one slice to
Czochoslovakia, another to Rumania
and another very large one which
makes up what Is now the northern
part Of Jugoslavia. Altogether they
took away more than two-thirds of
the original territory, leaving the
tract which fs now the New Hugary.
This tract contains eight million peo-
pie. the most Of whom are Magyars,
the most proud. the most spirited and,
in some respects. the most progressive
of the peoples of central Europe. All
this was done by the treaty of Tria-
non.
r Let me mention some of the things
they have done. My information
comes from Count Paul Teleki, the
we'll known statesman and geog-
rapher, who is one OF the practical
economic thinkers OF central Europe.
He tells me that the treaty has dis
arranged the whole water system Of
the Danube. That river IL much like
the Mississippi in that Its floods have
to be controlled and vast sums an
nually expended to keep the waters
Ia order.
Before the war most Of the works
Of the system were under the con-
troll Of the Hungarian kingdom. 1t
began it's work of reclamation more
than one hundred years ago, and
since then il has built dikes twenty
test high along the course of the
Danube and Thesis long enough to
lire both sides OF the Mississippi from
Canada to the Gulf OF Mexico. The
extent Of those dikes 10 1000 miles.
Il has dug 5000 miles OF canals, or
enough to reach from New York to
san Francisco ana on to Shanghai. IL
fons could build a great trough across
the Pacific. It has protected a tract
Of land as large as west Virginia
from floods and reclaimed from the
swanps over 100000 acres. Count
TsIski tells me that all the reclaimed
lands Of Holland are only little
more than ons-third as large as the
reclaimed lands of Hungary.

lations with the neighboring
states?"
Our relations with Austria are
good, but we have practically no
trade with the states Of the little en-
tente. The people who have robbed
us Of our territories do not want to
trade with US, and each of the states
has erected Chinese wall along our
boundaries. They create all kinds of
trade distractions. They will not
allow the Hungarians still liv-
ing in the ceded portions to have
q part in the commerce, nor to carry
on the business which they had es-
tablished before the war. The Hun
garians were the intelligentsia of
those countries. They did all the
business and the internationa, trade
was practically in their hands. 1t is
impossible for them to re-establish
their old former connections, and both
commerce and industry are suffering
because of the lack of culture. educa-
tion and training of those who are
now running affairs.
"As for Hungary" continued Count
Bethlen. 1--WE would like to have a
commerce with Rumania, Jugoslavia
and CzeGhoslovakia, but the desire,
for trade must come from both sides.

doing something to irritate and in

But. your exceilency. Austria is
trading with her neighbors. Could
you not make some such ARRANGEMENT
as she has made for an international

"I do not know that we would ask
for a Dutch burgoma ster We would
rather not have any kind of burgo-
master if we. could help it. but we
will do anything that will give US q
fair show to come back. We are
already trying to do what the bur

cutting down our public expenses,

the price of an international loan. If
we could have such loan as that Of
Austria, we could gradually make
Hungary financially and economically

than Austria, and although we have

well worth the effort to analyze the his

agricultural activity that have been
made by Jewish settlers in various

do well to study particularly the sec
tion in the Immediate vicinity Of New
London, Conn, where hundreds upon
hundreds of Jewish immigrants became
farmers and took possession Of small
units Of land less than generation

prosperous indeed and land values have
