Paris Conference Considers
Arclidnko's Message Ask
ing Recognition.
By the Associated Frtts.
Paris, Aur. 9. The Intertilled mission
In Budapet, after a conferenco with
Archduke iosep"h and Premier Fried
erlch, has forwarded to It Clemehceau,
president of '.the Peicei Conference, a
report to the i.efftct that tha Entente
representatives are In full accord with
the new Hungarian Government, accord
lnr to a Vienna despatch.
A despatch from Budapest says that
. thenew Mlnlstry-'at its first meeting
yesterday resolved to recognize Arch
duke Joseph as Resent until a national
assembly Is elected, "so that In these un
settled times Viero. may-be one Arm cen
tre In the country."
The Archduke then entered, and after
, a short speech by Premier Ftledrich the
Ministers! took, the oath,to the Archduke.
Its askod them to do their utmost to
support him 'In Hungary's reconstruction.
"We are at a loss to understand why
the Allies, and the Americans above all,
should criticise Rumania for Its action
In defeating- Uia Bolshevikl Jn Hungary,"
said Nicholas Mlsu of the Rumanian
peace delegation to-day.
"We feel that we have dono the Peace
Conference and the entire world a ser
vice by giving; the Hungarians an oppor
tunity to set .up a representative govern
ment. Furthermore, wo were forced to
march aganit ,puda,pest In, self-defence.
Hungary attacked lis arid the Bolshevikl
threatened to overwhelm us from two
teldes. For tactical reasons we had to
advance beyond the armistice lines flxed
between us and the Hungarians."
Hungarians' Unit Disarm.
"Then when other armies refused to
move against the Hungarian Bolshevikl
we moved alone. We shall move our
troops from Budapest when the Hun
garians have been thoroughly disarmed
and no longer threaten our very exist
ence. -
"Meantime, we hope the "whole world
will take pains to learn the truth about
tho peril vwhlch foiccd US to fight, for
our lives. We have never lelt'the rtace
Conference and shall obey Its orders,
but we cannot slgri the Austrian treaty
If It contains provisions forlthe protec
tion of minorities. We believe It ft
wrong for tho h Ppwers to force such
conditions on thoismall Power
M. Mlsu said that the Central Powers
took 2,000 locomotives from the Ru
, manlans, leaving them only 200, of which
eighty were really In gobd repair. Ru
mania will probably get back about 1,000
locomotives under the armistice terms' If
It Is enforced against Hungary, M. Mlsu
declared. These are necessary for re
construction! -work . and the feeding of
Rumania. .
Rumania's crop'lB excellent, M. "Mlsu
said, and Rumania will bo able to ex
port 200,000,000 francs worth of grain
this year and also large quantities of oil.
M. Mlsu has 'b'eenl without communica
tions from. Bucharest 8nce the setting up
of Archduke"Voaeph's Government at
Budapest. Wireless communication Is so
poor, he asserted, th.at couriers betfeeiy
l'aris. ana .uucnaresi someumes are
faster' than' Wireless.
Rumania's course m Hungary Is to
be limited to maintaining order, ltjvas
said to-day by M. V'alda of the Ruman
ian delegation, according to the Ex
celsior, and Ilumanla will withdraw from
Hungary as soon as' tne Hungarians
comply with the Rumanian ultimatum
and their troops are disarmed.
Confidence In Allies.
"Furthermore, we have entire confi
dence, In. the "decisions,, of the Allies, as
our Interests In Central Europe are the
name," M. Valda was quoted as saying.
The return of the Hapsburg dynasty,
he added, he considered as a danger to
both the Rumanians and to the Allies.
Several of the newspapers- to-day, re
viewing the Hungarian situation, said a
series of three notea were sent by the
Interallied Supreme Council to Premier
J. J. C. Dratlano of Rumania. The first
of these Invited the Rumanian high
command to stop the advance upon
Budapest, the Becond advised the Ru
manian .Cabinet that tho Allies could
not approve the' terms of the proposed
Rumanian armistice ultimatum to Hun
gary, and the third expressed tho hope
Rumania would -center amicably, wllh
the Supftme Council, '
Despatches from American relief of
ficers who hare been operating ' with
British and' Italian representatives In
Hungary report that Budapest Is' 'quiet
but that. all transportation, Including
that on the Danube, Is being held up.
As this Involves great danger of fam
ine, the allied ofnclals have appealed for
an effort to lift tne (embargo placed by
the Rumanians onl supplies, aa well as
all other embargoes 'on food transpor
tation and distribution affecting tho re
gion. Joseph' Message Considered.
At to-day's Besslon of the Supreme
Council of the Peace Conference consid
eration was riven a message from Arch
duke Joseph, head of the new Hungarian
Government, announcing the Intention
of his regime to execute the terms of the
armistice and asking recognition and
authorization to send delegates to Paris.
The message received from the Arch
duke outlines the policy of the new Gov
ernment and says 'that It 'will call a
properly selected constituent assembly to
reorganize labor with a view to Increas
ing. production.
A description of somo(of the members
of tho new Government of Archduke
Joseph as received from Berlin to-day
says that Col. Taneios, the Minister of
Foreign Affairs, held a political-military
position In Bulgaria during the war and
that he left Bulgaria shortly before the
Bulgarian request ror, an arrtilstlco In
September, 1918. '
Prof. Jacob Bleyer. Minister of Na
tionalities, Is described as the chief tiro-
(agonist In Hungary for autonomy ol
foreigners under Hungarian sovereignty,
and la a leader of tne Clerical antl
Semltlc party. Tha remainder of the
Cabinet of Archduke Joseph is given as
follows :
Mlnlstor of the Interior, Adolf Sa
massa; Education, Dr. Alexander Inure;
War, Gen, Franz Schnltzer; Finance, Dr.
Johanii Gruenn; Hygiene, Dr. A. 811
lery; Justice. Dr. Bela Szalzy; Agri
culture, Dr. Roland Gyocry.
A transition Government, with repre
sentatives of the bourgeoisie, peasants
and workmen, will be formed shortly, it
Is understood.
At the request, of the Budapest offi
cials ArchBuke Joseph has created a
Volunteer frrce of 8,000 men to keep
order In the capital. The Archduke will
take up his residence In Ofen Castle.
The Rumanians are reported to be
guilty of further acta of violence In
Budapest. Gen. Mardareaou, head of'the
Rumanian occupying forces. It has been
announced, will retire from the city and
most of his troops will be withdrawn
within a few days.
Vienna advices say It Is understood
the action of tho Entente In creating n
military commission of four Generals to
supervise tho situation In Budapest has
had a depressing effect upon tho Ru
manians. The Rumanians In Budapest are al
lowing the Hungarians only 800 gen
darmes to patrol the city, according to
news from' American officers there.
Theso officers declare that a greater
force Is necessary If the new govern
ment Is to be enabled to effect an or
ganization and function properly.
If the relief measures planned are per
mitted to be carried out effectively, the
American officers give It ai their opin
ion that the, new government will be
able to perfect Its organization.
The American advices confirm the re
port, thati the Rumanians are gather
ing up all kinds of animals and all sorts
of supplies to be sent to Rumania,
The report that a union between Hun
gary and Rumania In the form of a dual
kingdom was being planned has been
formally denied, a Bern despatch re
ceived here to-day says. ,
People Fear Monarchy.
Nevertheless, the Hungarian-proletariat
and bourgeoisie have expressed Wars
that a monarchy Is coming lt' Hungary,
while tho adherents of the Szegedln
Government and Royalists are openly
championing the monarchists Ideal.
Airplanen last night dropped , placards
over Budapest proclaiming "King
Joseph." Some quarters credit him with
the ambition to become king, but say
that he wants "for family reasons and,
piety, to be compelled."
The social democrats are much
averse to having the reins of government
In the hands of Archduke Joieph, and
It la Improbable that any socialist will
participate In his government
Some circles describe Archduke
Joseph as Indifferent whether the new
legislature will elect him president of
Hungary, and say : . "He has, as a Hun
garian patriot, thrown his great popu
larity Into tho balance In order to work
against the Confusion existing."'.
King Ferdinand of Rumania, who was
to have arrived in Budapest yesterday,
has postponed his visit to that city, ac
cording to a Zurich despatch to the
Journal.
Former Emperor Charles of Austria
Hungary was begged by Magyar leaders
to mount the Hungarian throne when the
fall of the Peldll M'nlstry was deter
mined upon, according to a despatch to
the Journal from Zurich. The former
monarch refused on the ground that,
having been King and Emperor, he could
not go down the social scale and be
content with a King's crown.
MSB FACES CALL
TO TELL OF TREATY
Scntito Inquisitors Hope Ho
Can Fill In Laps in Lan
sing's Review.
NEW DOCUMENTS HEBE
They Arrive From Paris and
Wilson Will Send Them to
Senate Monday.
Special Despatch to Tn Be.
WAinmoTo'w, Aug. 9. Col. Edward
M..Houso of Texas, President Wilson's
principal assistant In the work of peace
working and League of Nations budd
ing In Paris, may be summoned to np
pear -before tho Senate Foreign Rela
tions Committee to supply deficiencies tn
Information obtained by tho committee
from Secretary of State Lansslng.
Following upon tho non-lnformatlvo
examination of Secretary Lansing the
to appear to endeavor to fill in the num
Senators seriously consider turning to
the next best possible source of exact
Information. Col. House's whereabouts
In Europe, which has remained a sort
of quasi secret, officially have been as
certained by the Senators and It Is
highly probable that within a day or
two a cable will bo sent Inviting him
erous gaps In Mr. Lansing's review of
the Paris proceedings.
' Lansing Knew Little.
Mr. Lansing admitted that he knew
little about tho actual framing of the
treaty, despite the President's Intima
tion that he would be at' the disposal
of the Senate to throw light Into the
obscure crevices of the three Paris docu
ments. Members of the committee, at(er
turning ovr In their minds for a tull
month the suggestion of asking Presi
dent Wilson to do the elucidating him
self, have determined that it would be
an Impropriety to ask tho President to
attend a session of the .committee either
at the Capitol or In the White House,
and the President has displayed no dis
position to invite the commltteo to his
own offices for a similar ouroose. Be.
sides, the committee would consider no
other form of Executive consultation
tharione which would be official and of
which the cpmpleto record would be
transcribed verbatim as a part of the
committee's formal report to the Senate.
In his first speech to the Senate upon
his return from France the President in
dicated' that he would be at the dis
posal of the Senate, but this was shortly
thereafter rendered meaningless through
the telephone conversation held between
senator Hitchcock (Neb.) and hlmtelf.
In which the President said he would
appear'at any time on twenty-four hours
notice. This put the question of sum
moning the President un to the com.
mlttce. The committee will not do this.
Thus the committee Is left with Col.
House as about the sole resort unless,
the President should accede later' to the
demands of the committee for Informs
tlon In the form of copies of the docu
ments, formal and Informal, and the
record of the proceedings of the Peace
conference.
Resentment sit President.
There Is deep resentment to be dis
cerned throughout the genate at the
President's Inclusion of the argument for,
his League of Nations schemes In yes
terday's address. Senators feel that the
President has resorted to the very con
duct which In the railway brotherhoods
he so sharply criticised and so deplored
using ,the present crisis In the com
mercial markets as a club with which
to force through his plans, just as tho
brotherhood leaders have used the same
conditions asl an excuse for striving to
force a change In the fundamentals of
American Industrial relations.
