THE MORXIXG OREGOXIAX, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 6, 1919. t BY ROUMil STAND Stable Government in Hungary Is Believed Jeopardized. 30,000 TROOPS IN CAPITAL Army of Occupation Said to Be Plundering New Cabinet Re jects Communism. PARIS, Aug. 5. (By the Associated Press.) Members of the American peace delegation here expressed fears today that the setting: up of a stable democratic government in Hungary might be jeopardized by the Roumanian attitude. Vigorous representations, it was said, are being made to Roumanian officials. both at Budapest and Bucharest, but means of communication are so bad that peace conference officials have been unable to learn if their measures are reaching the Roumanians. It is not known yet whether the or. oer to the Roumanians not to enter Budapest reached them before their ar rival there. American officials, it was stated, have warned Roumania that economic sup port will be withdrawn unless Rou mania heeds the allies' orders. Reports have reached the peace con ference, also, that the Serbian army has begun an advance on Hungary and is ravaging the country. PARIS, Aug. 5. (Havas.) Most- of the newspapers here, commenting to day on the Hungarian situation, ex pressed belief that it would be unwise not to take every advantage of the prepent circumstances to establish a stable government in Hungary. PARIS, Aug. 5. Telegrams from American officials at Budapest state that Roumanian troops upon entering Budapest yesterday started plundering in the suburbs. Fifteen or twenty ci cilianc were killed by the Roumanians during the day, it is added. Roumanians Demand Hostages. The American reports said the Rou manians were demanding hostages and threatened to kill five hostages for each Roumanian soldier injured in Budapest. Some members of the new Hunga rian ministry, the telegrams state, have been arrested by the Roumanians, who have mounted machine guns In various parts of the. city and demobilized the local police. The city is absolutely under military control. BUDAPEST, Monday. Aug. 4. 7 P. M. (F.y the Associated Press.) The res toration of the country and effort to move the peace conference into chang ing the peace terms as to boundary lines, so as to permit Hungary to re tain more of her former territory, are among the many problems now facing the new cabinet which, according to Peter Agoston, the minister of foreign affairs, has honestly turned its back on communism. Captain Gregory, the chief allied food administrator in central Europe, has come here from Vienna in order to see to the re-establishment of communica tions and secure coal for the hundreds of locomotives tied up with miles of idle freight and passenger cars. It is desired to set this rolling stock in mo tion so that food may be moved from the Banat region to Vienna and to en able trade to resume its normal routes. The cabinet, which derives its au thority from the workers organiza tions, has appointed business men to posts in its membership. It was stated today that three regi ments of troops. Italian, French and British, respectively, are to be billeted here for the purpose of maintaining order. It was thought, however, that this possibly would be unnecessary. Roumanians Enter In Force. Thirty thousand Roumanian troops Including infantry, cavalry and artil lery, entered the city today with a blare of trumpets. The Roumanian forces, led by General Marghaseu, passed through Andrassy and other streets. Lieutenant-Colonel Romanelli, of the Italian mission, an allied representa tive, informed the Hungarian cabinet that the Roumanians would remain to keep order. He requested that de mobilization of the soviet army be con tinued. Hostages have been taken by the Roumanians, it is reported, and it was announced that they would shoot five of them for every Roumanian killed. So far there have been no disorders. Serbian troops are reported advan cing toward Budapest from the south. BERLIN'. Aug. l.-(By The Asso ciated Press.) "The Hungarian peo ples' republic.- is the official title of the new government at Budapest, it was announced at Vienna yesterday by members of the Hungarian government after a conference with allied represen tatives there. Government Programme Announced. A programme of policies agreed upon at the conference was given to the correspondents by rr. Peter Agoston. new Hungarian minister of foreign af fairs. He announced the Budapest government would change from the soviet system to social democracy". The new government, he said, guaranteed the allies that a new constitution would be created, a constitutional legislature elected, industries already socialized will remain in public service until the legislature meets and laws and acts of the soviet will be kept in force until changed by the new legislature. Complete amnesty for all political offenders punished under soviet rule has been granted, it was announced. One of the things to be determined by the legislature will be the degree of socialization to be adopted. I'ood is reported to 'be scarce in Vienna and only part of the stores open. The feeling is said to be growing in Budapest that the communists consid ered culpable must be put on trial for certain acts of the soviet regime. The charge of confiscating private property would lie against many. Budapest dispatches state that the Hungarian authorities today asked per mission of the entente to hold elec tions for the constituent assembly on some date n September in territories now occupied by entente forces but belonging to Hungary. PARIS, Aug. 5. Brigadier-General Harry H. Bandholtz. former chief of the Philippine constabulary, has been appointed American representative on the allied military commission, which wnl go to Budapest to arrange the tsrms of an ermistice. BUSINESS OPPOSES LABOR (Continued from First Pace. development of railroad facilities would depend upon congressional appropria tions, which would prevent the antici- Drlnk NURAVA Ceylon -India Java Tea Closset Se Devers - Portland pation of the transportation needs of tne country. Appropriations would not be made in the amount and at the time needed to insure adeauate development of the railroads. Political considera tions might also control the amount of appropriations and the objects for which they were made. Financial Task Held Bis;. "2. To acquire the railroads the government would have to pledge its credit for 18. 000,000, 000 to $20.000, 000. 000 at a time when other large financ ing must be done. It would be diffi cult for the government to dispose of the securities required to purchase the railroads and it would be necessary r the government to secure from $500,000,000 to $1,000,000,000 of new capital each year. If the government wene to assume the burden of financ ing the railroads at the present time when the war debt is so larsre. its .interest rate-would necessarily be as -on u not nigner, tnan the raw at which corporations could secure capital. Higher Efficiency Wanted. "3. Government operation is sel dom, if ever, as efficient as corporate management. Competition, the incen tive to efficiency and progress in pri vate enterprises, is absent from the government administration of affairs. mwviouai initiative is less, bureau cratic methods ane more characteristic, and the services rendered are less pro gressively efficient. "4. While the government would presumably select officers and em ployes by means of efficiency tests, political influences would almost cer tainly be given weight in selecting men for the positions. "5. Unless the government adopted the policy of low rates and fares with the intention that any resulting deficit rrom operations should be placed as increased burden of taxes upon the gen eral public rates and fares would be higher under government than under private operation. Political Effect Noted. Under government operation expenses rise in relation to income and the charges imposed by the government, if a deficit is to be avoided, must be higher than those which it would be necessary to permit railroad corpora tions to make. "6. The political effect of t-ov-rn. ment ownership and operation of rail roads in the United states might be ier-wus- There are now about 500.000 civil employes of the government. The ad aition to the public services of 2,000 000 railroad employes. the majority of wnom are voters, would constitute a force of about 2,500,000 government em- Miujes interested in ronimiiin- .v.- i . i me government as regards wages. hours nd condition! nf o i a body of employes might eaBily exer cise a controlling influence upon state and national politics."

"I cannot justify it as anything short of treason." he said, after citing the recent public statements of the brother hood officers. "We are face to face W.lti!onthfdeniand for wse increases of 1800.000.000 which confessedly will not. help them, or they will suspend our great transportation system.

Reject Politiea, Is Plea. "Ours is the responsibility now to give answer. There is no consequence as seriously involved as in yielding. It means an end to representative gov ernment. Let's not flinch the issue. It's quite as important as any treaty. It's a threat to bring ruin on the coun try." In the past. Senator Thomas declared, both political parties in congress had acted with a view to capturing the next presidential election, and he expressed hope that in the present crisis partisan politics would not be a factor. "We have just waged a great war." he continued, "to make the world safe for democracy. It now is the duty of this generation to make democracy safe for the world, to make democracy con scious that there can be no liberty which does not respect the liberty of others" Plan Held Economically Wrong. NEW YORK. Aug. 5. United States Senator Calder announced here today that he would not vote for government ownership and operation of railroads as demanded by the brotherhoods, as serting the plan was economically wrong and would greatly increase pas senger and freight rates.

SHANTUNG DEAL DECRIED murims a tin Aims oi l wo ."Nations Proclaimed at Club Luncheon In San Francisco. da. v ka.-scisco, Aug. 5. "The two great republics on the shores of the Pacific, the United States and China, stand together always for peace; they are allies in the principles of .peace and justice." declared Dr. Wu Chao cnu. Chinese delegate to the neace con rerence at Pans, in an address today be fore the China Commerce club of Cali fornia. The club is an organization of American leaders of business in China ine luncneon guests formed one of tne most distinguished groups of lead ers in China seen in San Francisco for some time. Besides Dr. Wu. who is a son of Wu Ting Fang, former Chinese amoassauor to the United States, there were present K'Ung Hsiang-Ko, former presiaent or the assembly of Shantung province, delegate to Paris, and a des cendant of the great teacher Confucius or airect line in the 176th generation; Hsu Chien, former minister of justice at Peking, and later at Canton, and who. at Paris represented the Union .-National Christian organization of China; Tsu Tsung Hau. delegate to Paris, especially representing his na tive province of Shantung and member of the Chinese national parliament of Peking; Lok Chat'Lo, general manager or tne cnina Man Steamship company, and J. Harold Dollar, president of the American Chamber of Commerce of bnanghai. American Interest Strong. The sympathy and deptfl of feeling i nave round in America for China on tne bhantung question," said Dr. Wu not only among political leaders, but wherever I have come in contact with Americans, shows how much the Ameri can people, the masses, are interested in Chinese affairs." Captain Robert Dollar, president of tne club and chairman of the luncheon, said: "Kverywhere the people of the United States feel the injustice done China. It is merely the weak trodden under foot. Japan got Shantung because she had more battleships and more soldiers." Hsu Chien. in part said: "The friendship between America and China always has been the best kind of friendship. We both want peace in the world. Although for a thousand years unaer the rule of monarchs, we have preserved democratic principles." Japanese Dralani Feared. Dr. Wu, in discussing the Shantung situation, pointed out that the promises that Japan will restore political sov ereignty in Shantung and certain po litical rights to China does not mean anything, because he said they never had any sovereignty, and had but lim ited rights. Dr. Wu said that the dan ger the Chinese see is that Japan, if maintaining economic control of the peninsula, will dominate It politically.
