General Reactionary Character
of Men Summoned Distaste

Berlin, Aug. 16. (By the Associated
Press.) Special dispatches from Buda
pest and Vienna t'jis morning to the
Berlin newspapers eoncur in designat
ing tho new Hungarian eabinet a
Jdilemma makeshift" , whose stability Js
chiefly menaced becavsi .of the ube-
of Socialist eawrnoration and 1b-snm
era.ll reactionary character of the men
onmnioiied - by Archduke Joseph, most
of whom were Identified with the eld
Tisia regime.
As tho industrial workers and the
Burgeoisie have not been given ad'
quate representation and the Socialists
have not yet indicated their willing'
ness to accept the three portfolios re
served for them, the dispatches express
doubt whether the Entente will agree
to accept the new cabinet as a repre
sentative government. Tho disinclina
tion of the Socialists to enter the cabi
net, the dispatches kssert, is founded
chiefly on the government's decision to
conduct new elections according to the
majority ay stem, which would place
tbem at a doeiilrd disadvantage.
A Vienna dispatch says that Arch
duke Joseph, realizing thst his per
sonality is a serious impediment to I
rational untangling of the crisis, has in
dirnted his intention to retire from
politics ns snon ns a coalition govern
nient is established. Treasure in this
direction, according to the dispatch, hat
also been exerted by the Entente com
mission, which is clamoring for a re

The iottor of trm Emneror Charles
In Archduke Josoph, in which Charles
declared that he was still the crowned
king of Hungary and commissioned the
archduke to take over aovereiga power
until his return, has also contributed
to the general feeling of mistrust with
which Archduke Joseph is viewed oa nil

Former Republican Attorney
General Declares That En
croachments Upon Sover
eignty of States That May
Become Members of League
Are Carefully Protected
Washington, Aug. 16. Former Attor
ney General Wickersham, in a statement
issued through the League to Enforce
Peace, today called upon the Senuto to
ratify tho peace treaty with the League
of Nations covenant and then prepare
to perfect the document by amendment
through the assembly nnd council of the
league, in the same manner as he point
ed out, the framers of the constitution
provided for its amendment 'by the
States.
Critics of the constitution, Sir. Wick
ersham declared in hia stutcnient, op
posed it because it did not contain a
bill of rights protecting the liberties of
the State and the people, and the con
currence of some States notably New
York and Massachusetts was secured
only by promises that steps would be
taken for early amendments to remove
the objections most strongly urged. Tho
first Congress, the former Attorney
General-recalled, redeemed .liosc prom
ises by submitting the first ten amend
ments, which have been characterized as
a bill of rights.
Secure Changes Later.
"Tho delegutes to the pence confer
ence in Paris," declared Mr. Wicker
sham, "fjlloncd the examples of the
framers of the constitution of the
United States by incorporating into tho
covenant of the league of Nations a
provision for iu amendment by vpte of
tbs tnomber of the loagua whone rep
resentative composed the council now
nine in number, and by a majority of
tha members whose representatives com
pose the assembly.
Let the Senate rntify the treaty, and
thus avert from America the reproach
of depriving the world of the groat
hope, the radiant promise of a world
allied for the preservation of pence.
Then let those measures for improve
ment of the Instrument, for the bettor
safeguarding of the national traditions
and institutions of America, be formu
lated by the Somite, or by both houses
of Congress, and transmitted to the
American representatives in tho as
aembly and in the council of the 1cague
of Nations with instructions to present
and press them for adoption as amend
ments to the covenant.
Sovereignty of State Protected.
''Has not the time come for action
inspired by the wisdom and the example
of tho framers and those who promoted
the constitution of the I'nited Stalest"
The covenant, Mr. Wickersham de
clared, "very carefully avoided any un
due encroachments upon the sovereignty
of any of the States which may become
members of the league," and added that
its farmers obviously recognized it as a
great experiment.
Opposition to the covenant, escept
from those who reject it entirely, the
former attorney-general declared, hud
Deen reduced to a half dozen points
which could be handled In the way sug
gested, and he expressed the opinion
that ''tho prestige and power of Amer
ica are so greni rnat it scarcely can
be doubted that any amendments thus
recommended would fail of adoption
aave tor dcminstrauly convincing re a
