LONDON, May 3.?Imperial pref- J
erence is the only feature of the budget j
which arouses a considerable ?mount
of criticism The Liberals, who natu- j
rally are the strangest opponents of j
the policy of preference, are only
mildly critical. The free traders will
fight for their principles, but they ap?
parently believe that the time has not i
arrived for a decisive struggle. There ,
is little possibility of important politi- ? '
cal changes until after the peace con- j
has adjourned, and then j ,
further time must elapse before it is |
known whether Lloyd George will or- \
ganize a new party.
Austen Chamberlain's budget is con- j
gidered to have features appealing to
nil classes without fully satisfying any
one. -v" it people a re pleased that
there i??? no increase in the income tax.
; nufacturers rejoice over the re?
in the excess profits tax. The
ts applaud the preference
given t i colonial imports. But it is
ul the budget is merely a modi?
fication of its predecessors to suit, the
transition period from war to peace
conditions. With three anti-govern?
ment members elected to Parliament in
the last two months, politicians are I
giving deep thought to the position ?
Lloyd George is likely to take and the j
policy of the NorthcliiTe support.
Labor Party Growing
In the Central Aberdeen election
Labor polled 3,482 votes in a district
rover contested hitherto. It is impos?
sible to ignore the growth, of the po?
litical labor movement in England or
to blink the fact that the party is or?
ganizing a powerful machine. On the
other hand, the extremists are rapidly!
losing their influence.
A kern and impartial judge est!- !
mates that there are not more than
one thousand Bolshevisticaliy inclined ;
workers in England at the present
Even the Independent Labor
whose leaders include Philip
n, Ramsay McDonald, Fred Jow- j
George Lansbury and other paci- |
-. has adopted such a relatively j
did programme that they are almost
in line with the real Labor party. Con- '
titutional rather than Bolshevik moth
i ds are the only ones in favor in this
country.
Lloyd George has written the joint
industrial conference committee ac
ccpting the principle of minimum wage
and maximum hours of employment,
stating that a bill will be introduced .
; by the government appointing a com
mission to study the whole question. ;
The importance of this decision upon ,
the political and industrial future can- ?
not be overlooked. Lloyd George is j
steadily moving toward the Left, and j
the time must come when he will be j
forced to break with many of his pr?s- j
cnt political associates. This time is ?
unlikely to come, however, before early
fall. When the workers' representa- :
fives began an investigation of the j
cnal situation they believed they would
obtain nationalization of the mines, !
but recent developments have weak?
ened their confidence.
Smillie, the miners' leader, is now ;
making a desperate effort to force the
commission to report in favor of na?
tionalization. By skilful cross-exami?
nation he is trying to win public
opinion to his side, and the climax will
come next week, when he will examine
several dukes who receive large royal
frorn mines on their estates.
Premier Still Strong
It is highly improbable that any de
r cisi?n reached at Paris will result in a
political overturn here. Lloyd George
is in complete control of Parliament
to-day, and he is still remarkably
strong in the country. That the year:
lee another Parliament is the
opinion of members of all three ;
parties, and they are also agreed that !
! it will come as a result of a fight upon !
I domestic issues.

Sink Whole German Fleet ?
As a Lesson, Urges Daniels
LONDON, May ? (By The Associated !

if the Navy, win) recently visited the
aptured German vessels at Scapa Flow,
ieclarcd in a statement to-day to The
' ssociated Press.
"The German fleet should he sunk, in
he opinion of American and British
echnical experts in Paris,'' the Sccre
ary said. "Those who are not tech

irely from the moral side, have the
lame idea and believe the ships should

from Budapest. Miskolc/., ninety miles
?ortheast of Budapest, has been evac?
uated. Czech forces have advanced
near Bahreve, the main cause of this
military success being due to lack of
discipline on the pa.t of great num?
bers of the Hungarian troops.
VIENNA, May 3 (By The Associated
Press). "Communism is the only log?
ical result of the policy of the En
tente toward Hungary, and also, per?
haps, it is the only economic salvation
left to us under present conditions.
Yet the Allies arc astonished that we
have gone Bolshevik."
This statement was made to the cor?
respondent a few days ago by Count
Michael Karolyi, who established a re?
public in Hungary last October and
played a prominent part in her politics
until a few weeks ago, if he is not
mixed up in them now. The count re?
ceived tne correspondent in the only
home left to him out of a dozen which
he owned until recently.
The man who a few months ago was
rated a millionaire, owning thousands
of acres of land, admitted that at pres?
ent he was writing a book in English
on Hungary's communist experiment in
the hope of earning sufficient money to
stave off hunger.
"There are plenty of people like me,"
the count continued, "who welcome the
Communist government because it
guarantees to keep us from starving
to dea;ii. which was not the case when
we were employers. In going over the
books of a glass factory which I for?
merly owned I discovered that my total
income from all sources wai being
eaten up to pay the wages of the. work?
men in this particular factory.
"An absurd economic situation has
obtained in the Central Entire for
months. 1 had hoped che Allies would
come to see the remedy. It was not
the land question which drove us to
Communism, because that has its solu?
tion in cooperative farming as planned
by the prosent government. Even be?
fore the war our land was not culti?
vated efficiently, because the owners
had not enough capital, and therefore
the return was poor."
Turmoil in Hungary
Blessing to Czechs
Prague Looks for Trouble as
Soon as the Storjn Abates;
Magyars Are Too Busy Note
New York Tribune
Special Cable Service
(Copyright, 1919, New York Tribune Inc)
PRAGUE, May 3.?The present revo?
lution in Hungary is considered a
blessing for at least one race - the
Czecho-Slovaks.
"As long as the 3Iagyars are occ?^
pied with troubles at home they will
leave us alone," said Dr. Vavro Sabar,
assigned by President Masaryk to the
task of introducing a republican r?gime
in Slovakia.
"We Slovaks are satisfied to leave
the present conditions in Budapest un?
settled for several months. As soon as
the Magyars have their own house in
ordi > we will undoubtedly have to com?
bat Magyar chauvinism again. As far
as the Bolsheviki are concerned, we
are not afraid of them. We have taken
every precaution to keep their emis?
saries out of Slovakia and those at?
tempting agitation get short shrift."
The Czecho-Slovaks have been one of
the first races to struggle to their feet
after the war. On a two weeks' trip
through the country the correspon?
dent saw few hungry people and vir?
tually no sign of disorder, with the sole
exception of that at Kassa and Press
burg. The latter is at present the
temporary seat of the government,
which eventually will be moved to
Prague. The larger cities of Slovakia
still contain large Hungarian popula?
tions, but the heart of Slovakia the
small towns and villages?-is exclu?
sively Slovak. The people are illit?
erate as a result of Magyar oppres?
sion. Within six months the Czecho?
slovak government has established
forty new high schools and many ele?
mentary schools.
Thousands of Slovaks to-day are eag?
erly awaiting news from friends and
relatives in America. The tide of emi?
gration was so great in former years
mony. These ships, which I recently
viewed, arc magnificent craft, but vir?
tually useless as a part of the Ameri?
can navy. In the first place, yon would
never induce an American Bailor to
live in the cramped and unhealthy
quarters, even of the later types, and
none lias bunker space sufficient for
nur needs. The ships undoubtedly were
built for lighting in the North Sea,
and not for long cruises as is neces?
sary in our navy. Their armor, how?
ever, is better than the American or
British."
The Secretary said there ?; nothinp
approaching a concert of opinion as tc
the size of the international naval po
lice force or as to what, responsibility
each ally is willing to accept. He
added:
"That all must be worked out wher
the league of nations begins to func
lion. With so many problems to face
the nation-, are willing to leave thai
one until later."
that it is estimated that easily 25 pe
cent, of the younger men of the natioi
have left to find work in the mines ani
i mills of Pennsylvania and Ohio
; Everywhere 1 encountered groups o
mothers and wives who asked anx
iously whether I could tell them some
! thing" of their men folk in the state1
and who seemed puzzled and disap
| pointed at my inability to do so. T.h
attitude of these people toward Amer
I ica is one of worship.

Washinoton Surcan
WASHINGTON', May 3. Expressing^
his expectation that the covenant of
the league of nations would be rati?
fied by the Senate in open sessions
without, amendments, Senator Hitch?
cock, of Nebraska, retiring chairman
of the Foreign Relations Committee,
said to-day that if Republicans at?
tempt to make the covenant a part.i
! san issue it will split the Republican
1 party in 1920.
The revised covenant. Senator Hitch?
cock declared, meets the objections to
the original pact. It does not, he said,
and no covenant would, meet the ob?
jections of the group of irreconcilables
in the Senate, who would oppose any
league proposals. The statement fol?
lows:
"If the Republicans should succeed
in defeating the covenant, that will
make it the issue in the nc\t cam?
paign, and in my opinion the rock
upon which the Republican party will
! split. The amendments adopted in
i Paris have removed every objection
I which friends of the league could hold
! to. Those who now oppose it are. ir?
reconcilables who are against any
league.
"No attempt to amend the covenant
in the Senate will succeed, in my opin?
ion. Efforts may be made to' ratify
with reservations, such reservations to
be stated in the resolution of ratifica?
tion, but even that I believe will not
succeed. I do not believe it will be
possible for tho.-^e who desire amend?
ments to muster a majority of the Sen
I ate in favor of them. Some think the
United States ought to have dictated
; the league, and ought to control it. In
that case there would have been no
league. Compromise was inevitable."
In Republican quarters Senator
Hitchcock's reference to partisan con?
sideration of the covenant, brought.
forth a reiteration of the statements
made for the past two days that the
Republican organization in the Sen?
ate had no intention of partisan ac
I tion on the covenant. Senator Curtis,
Republican whip, declared that the
Democrats were evidently trying to
make it appear that there was an or?
ganized Republican opposition to the
:league, so that in the event that in
I dividual Republicans oppose its rati
i hcation, unamended, the Democrats
may argue that responsibility rests
! on the Republican party. There is nc
! plan, said Senator Curtis, to bind Re
publican Senators to any programme
of ounosition to the covenant.
