The Daily News Peace Conference
- Bureau. Paris. France. April . IS The
campaign which the French newspaper
are now conducting with the support of
the government since there still exists a
censorship indicates that the French
government is demanding strenuously
: from the peace conference terms that
will make France secure acalnst Ger
many, By secure she means that the
terms of peace will give her such ad
vantages that heropulatlon "of 40,000,
000 will b safe from the military and
economic aggressions of 0,000,000 Ger
mans. France recognises that we entered the
"war to defend her against the aggres
slons of Germany and she cannot under
stand why the American representatives
or the British representatives are not
willing to enforce on Germany such
' terms as France considers necessary for
her security in war and peace.
Semaads-Cever Whole ef Esroee
What are the conditions which France
considers essential? First, the cession
of Alsace-Lorraine, Which nobody ques
tions. Secondly, the basin of the Saar
with Its coal deposits : thirdly, a neutral
state on - the left bank of the Rhine ;
fourthly, the annexation to Poland of all
disputed territory In order to make her
a, strong military nation so that her al
liance with France will threaten Ger
many from the rear ; fifthly, the separa
tion of the Austro-German state from
Germany proper, and, sixthly,- the
.strengthening of the Serbs, Jugo-Slavs,
Czechs and Roumanians by slices of ter
. rliory from Germany. Hungary and
Austro-Hungary In order to . prevent
German expansion to the. south. ' '
Finally France demands that by keep
ing oa the screws Germany will be
forced Into a revolution which will
change the national character from obe
dience to authority and that discipline
necessary to coordination of organized
. effort to an extreme individualism which
' France hopes will render the Germans
1 less dangerous. ' Moreover, the French

left bank of the Rhine for an undeter

. ' ' . Expect Germany to Attack Again
- Most of the French staff members
, with whom I have talked believe that
Germany will again attack in 10 or 15
years. And as the French see .their
popularity waning with Great Britain
and America, they are strengthening
themselves in the east and Central Eu
rope byr advocating complete surrender
to the growing national demands of new
nations. France also demands that Ger
many be made to pay all the damages
of the war and as much of the expenses
as she. can. Her own bill against Germany,-according
to the Matin, is 3H,
000.000.000 franca ($63,200,000,000). Amer
icans and many English at the peace
conference consider that the many de
mands of France are likely to harm her
In the long run rather than benefit her
and tend to bring on another European
war? ''..", :... --..-...

question as they now imagine.,
. Too Hair rationalities Inelsded
In the same way with regard to Po
land. If In order to strengthen Poland
France encourages her to take territory
which is largely populated by Little
Russians, white Russians, Lithuanians
and Germans, this action may well pro
duce an alliance in East Europe against
the Poles and the French which would
make the situation of Poland in its weak
and undeveloped condition extremely
precarious. " Really the greatest security
for France is that which came' to her
during this war the Uniform support of
the nations of the world for' her. cause,
which was a Just and fair one. If the
demands made by France are such that
other nations consider them unfair, even
though those terms should be finally in
corporated in the treaty of peace they
would really work against the Interests
of France. . ,K
France can never get away from th
fact that she has 40,000,000 population
and the Germans have 90,000,000. Jio
guarantee can : protect her against this
fact except the continued friendshipof
the great nations Of . the earth based
upon a broad policy of international fair
play. Without such a policy the idle
dream of a great military Poland, of the
Rhine as a military barrier and of a
Germany made unproductive by revolu
tion would only serve to make France's
position more difficult. '

The peace conference in these matters
finds itself hampered by the 14 points
which were agreed to by . the central
powers and allies as the basis of peace.
Some of the terms demanded by France
and not yet agreed to by Great Britain
and the United States are judged by the
latter to be contrary to the letter and
the spirit zt these- preliminary agree
ments for peace: Moreover, the terms
required would- only make the League
of Nations an Instrument for' maintain
ing the iower of the entente by guaran

to new alliances in Central and Eastern
Europe hostile to the league. There Is
a growing feeling among Americans that

Budapest, Hungary. April 18. Hun
gary's political pendulum has swung from
one extreme to the other. Under the
monarchic regime the conditions were
very 'bad. Monopolies in salt and to
bacco were farmed out W the banks
which also controlled all industries
These banks were bjereaucratlc in -the
extreme and kept Hungary a century
behind the times in lack of consideration
for the" workmen, stifling their industries
with low wagea and poor worsting con
ditions and making them live in hovels
instead tf houses. . Even inventors were
oppressed, the employers making millions
while the inventors received nothing.
Twenty five per cent of the Hungarians
could not vote, this percentage including
about $0 per cent of the workmen- Then
parliament was controlled by a privileged
combination of great landowner. 2000
of whom held one third of the land, and
the aristocracy and clergy. All except
a small percentage of the population
were illiterate.
Now the pendulum has swung to the
other extreme. There is no private
property - except the holdings of small
peasants and workmen. The banks are
operated by the state which has a
monopoly, of everything. No one can
vote except workers holding employment
cards. Recently elections were held.
Men from each district were selected
from only one partythe socalled fused
Socialist-Communist parry. At wo pons
the electors received lists which they
could vote by having their cards
Stamped, each voter depositing tne list
with a man at the ena or we taDie wno
placed the slips in a drawer, or they
could perform the elaborate process of
crossing out names and writing others
on the paper.
; Posters urged the people to vote, say
ing, "Who does not vote is an enemy
of himself." I watched a. squad of the
Red army march to the polls singing
the i international song and carrying a
red banner. Servants came in groups
from the flats to cast their first-rote.
Mothers with babies were there. : The
crowd shoved through one door guarded
by a soldier, voted and then, folding
their wo k cards, hurried out another
door st a second soldier. Then they
went, to the cafes, parks and prom
enades. Each 600 workers . elected one
delegates and from among these will
be chosen the members of the soviet
parliament r :
From the election polls I went to the
parliament building and stood on the
steps with M. Boehn. M. Pogany and
others of the government and two
American officers and witnessed a
review of an International regiment
of the Red army setting off for the
front. The soldiers were mostly German,
Russians, a few Roumanians and some
said, one or two' French. The muslo
and the goose step of the soldiers
aroused enthusiasm and created a mar
tial atmosphere. One could not see a
dlstingushlng mark on the officers. Most
of the soldiers were young. They are
paid 450 crowns $M) a month with

owing to political conditions, and there
is a great increase in unemployment,"
Captain SomerselU. writing at the end
of January, said, "Unless assistance is
given, it will be Impossible to Iceep the
population of Bavaria within bounds."
Three other officers report.- saying. "In
Hamburg the mass of the 'population is
oblleed to live en rations insufficient to
nourish the body. In particular mothers
and young children." Another report
