troll OF Hungary's finances, TO when
this nation became nlebted lor ll-
most efficient and unse fish Sr.-
vices he rendered US during 4 Pc
ricd OF over two years.
To-day. though the situation Il
still very difficult, ! think this ma
ton has passed the climax Of Ills
postwar mislortun2s ana ,.ay 100
forward TO a better issue in the IL
ture. The state budget Is well t-.-
anced. The currency is a5so-u11-y
stable. Law and order reign through
out the country. Inc foreign trade
balance shows a slight excess in the
value Of exports over imports.
I'VE have accomplished a very
considerable agrarian reform by
which about 1900 900 acres Of arabic
soil have been distributed among
those who up 10 now had owned no
land at all. We have reorganized
u political life by creating a new
parliament consisting Of two cham
bers and have inaugurated quite a
new system of workmen's relief and
social assurance.
Cites PIebiscitc
In the domain OF foreign rela-
tons I may point first OF all to the
~plebiscite in SOprOn by which that
city and its surrounding region, or
iginally allotted to Austria, came
back to Hungary. to which il had
belonged Tor a thousand years.
The first nation TO reach out a
friendly hand to us was Italy. with
which country we concluded a
treaty Of friendship, Cancellation
and arbitration. This first treaty
was followed BY a great many sim
liar ones, among others that con-
Guided about a year ago with the
United States. We have signed the
kellogg Pact and even the so-called
option clause re.ating 10 the In
ternational Court Of Arbitration in
the Hague. whereby Hungary gave
fullest evidence OF her absolutely
peaceful intentions.
Trusts TO Future
The evolution Of cur future
policy will BE- a direct continuation
OF its past. First Of all, I beg 10
emphasize that Hungary wants to
arrive az her aims by an absolutely
peaceful policy: that is. only by
availing herself Of all those means
which r at the disposal OF her
diplomatic services
This nation will never Jump
into adventures. However, there Is
not one Hungarian who would not
trust that in the ultimate end lust
ice must win the upper hand and a
new and wise reorganization Of the
destroyed economic units 0f Europe
Is bound to take place sooner or
later.
il may set forth the future line
of Hungary's foreign policy in the
following cardinal points:
Justice 10 those who have been
~unjustly treated.
Equality and a square deal TO
those who have been precipitated
into injustice.
Union for those who have been
separated BY force and against
their own will.
II am afraid that without the

OIL STOCKS IN j. S.
DECREASE IN JULY
Commerce Report Says Total
Is GAG, POS, 900 Barrels at
End of Month.

Enough petroleum and petroleum
products were on hand in the United
States July 81 to last 2l9 days, q de-
crease Of two days supply from the
amount In storage June 80, the Com
n1erce Departments Bureau OF Mines
announced in a report made public to-
day.
A total Of sac ,2os 900 barrels Of crude
oil, ectual gasoline and other petroleum
products were reported in the country
July 81, as compared with 652, 1870, 900
at the end Of June.
Auto Fuel Stocks Decline.
A rapid decline in stocks of motor
fuels was noted during the month. on
July 8 stocks of this product totaled
40, 1872 900 barrels, a decrease Of almost
represented only a 28-day supply. the
Bureau of Mines said.
Although the report noted material
decrease in Oklahoma production. due
to curtailment in most fields, 1t was
explained that this was not due to the
martial law declaration in that field.
Gov. Murray took his drastic stand
after August /, and consequently the
closing of the Oklahoma and Texas
ports until october !, when the August
statistics are due.
Three Fields Increase Output.
The East Texas field, now under re-
straint of martial law, was again cred
tied with having kept petroleum stocks
up during July. Only this field. the
Kettleman Hills fields in California
and the Mount Pleasant field in Mich
igan showed increases. The East Texas
field increased its average daily pro-
duction about one-half during the
month, jumping from $4,000 barrels
daily in June to $4,000 in July.
The daily average production for the
country jumped to 2,515,o00 barrels, an
increase Of IL 900 over June, but in.
creased demand more than compen-
stated for this increase. The decrease
was almost entirely in stocks Of crude
oil, ref1ners distilling a daily average
of 2,573,000 barrels. Domestic demand
for motor fuels was 1,2T3,000 daily.

This symphony, intended for
performance, without pauses be-

as "the first symphonic poem-a
form which is based upon the
irrefutable assertion that there
is no break between two success

draws attention to the fact it is
also integrated by partial COM

Forrest Orr and Edward Poland
have been signed as members OF
the National Theater Players fol
the seventh season.
These two players-Messrs. Orr
and Poland-were members Of
the Players last year, and made
favorable impression upon the au.
diences attending the productions
in the National Theater. Rich in
experience, these two players
have had varied careers in the
theater. Mr.. Orr, at one time,
was a member of the old Poll
Stock Company, when the cele-
brated Izetta Jewell was leading
lady. Because of this association
in Washington, Mr.. Orr has many
friends here who will welcome his
return to the Nations Capitaa.
Mr.. Poland, because Of his ster'
ling worth last year, was rated
by the critical fraternity as one
of the outstanding assets of the
local repertoire organization.
Have Long Experience
Clifford Brooke, director Of the
Players, holds high regard fol
Messrs. Orr and Poland. The ma.
ture of several plays in store fol
patrons of the e Street playhouse
makes it possible for the director
to give Forrest Orr and Edward
Poland parts wherein their histri
onic ability may be displayed to
advantage. AS those who fre
quent the summer season here
will remember, both Mr.. Orr and
Mr.. Poland are adopts at charac'
ter creation.
Both men have played in road
show productions, and in some
Of the best-known stock COM
panies in America. This training
has given them the polish &C,
