Budapest, May 19th.—The reasons given by the cabinet council for signing .the treaty as a temporary measure, were. First. The necessity for imme- diate reconstructions, with the hope of obtaining credits and 2lso to prevent the further depreciation in the money of the country. Second. To establish - Infernal orderand get the workmen em- ( ployed andto prevent the military par- ty from hecoming ten strong and precip- itating another revolution, which Hun- gary could not survive. The peasant par- ty has expressed a strong view on this subject, as the burden of mobilization ' would fall upon it. Third. It was fear- ed that failure 10 sign would hazard the | rich harvests throughout Hungary by ~ her less fortunate neighbours finding an excuse for :nother occupation of the country. Fourth. Astrong central gov- ernment will afford an opportunity to reorgan.ze the administration and in- crease outside friendship. Fifth. The signing will find . mple time during which to elect a King and to dispose of the present provisional government. The ratification of the treaty offers a wide field for new complications, owing to the fact that there is no permanent head of the State, according to the viewpoint in some quarters here. The followers of the former Emperor Charles refer to his notification to the peace conference, that no peace treaty will be of value without his signature. Fondon, May 21st.—A Polish debate in the House of Commons yesterday brought out the interveniion of the speaker, who declared that the members had no right to discuss the Govt. of Po- land or any other country except their own. He said, ‘‘'The positionappails me and so far from adding to the friendly feelings between the United States and the signatories of the League of Nations; it seems to me it will lead to a great danger of animosity. Let us say that we began to criticize the United States of A erica. Is that likely to iead to any beneficial result. 1 cannot help most solemnly impressing upon the House that the less we criticize the motives of other Govts., the more likely are we to arrive at and re ain friendly relations with them. Paris,, May 22nd.—The establishment of a national fund ‘or iarge famiiies has been approved in a resolution pasced at a meeting of the French family commis- sion. This fund will be raised by taxes imposed on bachelors, and heads of families who have reached a certain age and have less than three living children. Paris, May 20th.—The San Remo and Hythe conferences, says the '‘Eeclair’’, have resulted in depriving the repara- tions commission in faet, if not in law, of the sovereign power to fix the amount of damages to be paid vy Germany and it was indeed what Mr. Lloyd George was aiming at. The paper adds that the British Premier saw with discontent and anxiety that M. Poinecare, whse prestige and authority he feared, would accept the Presidency of that commfs- sion, and it concludes by stating that the letcer of resignation of M. Poincare takes by reason of the personality of the writer, the character of a solemn warn: ing to France and the people of the entente. As soon as the financial ex- perts in London have attained definite results as to the reparations. M. Millerand and M. Marsal, Minister of Finance, will go to London and come to a full agree- ment with Mr. Lloyd George and Mr. Chamberlain, says the ‘‘Echo de Paris’”’, and when Mr. Lloyd George and his colleagues start for Spa, where the con- ference with the Germans will be held, M. Millerand will meet them at Ostend and they will draw up their final plans on the way to Spa. M. Poincare’s letter ot resignation follows: ‘‘The conversa- tion which has just taken place between the heads of the British and Frepch
