(Correspondence of The Associated Press.) An intimate view of conditions in Eastern Europe is given by an American official just back from a tour through Poland, Czecho-Slovakia, Austria, and later a visit to the Hungarian capital at Budapest. He says: "It seems inevitable that changes must occur in the governments of all these new states of Europe. None of them is stable. Everywhere is I "In Poland a strong opposition to Mr. Paderewski has developed. Be- j sides thle Poland will suffer from j acute hunger this winter. Her peo ple are supporting an army out of all proportion to the population to guard her frontiers and any incident may bring a clash with the Czechs or Germans. The Teschen question Is acute and both countries are aflame. I doubt if a plebiscite will settle It satisfactorily or permanent-, ly. I "In Czecho-Slovakia there is strong opposition to the present gov ernment, which lacks strength in Its' personnel. The danger there lies, j however, more In the growing jeal ousy of the Slavs. They have been , very thoroughly subordinated and 'resent the arrogant attitude of the i Bohemians proper. Again, the dras 1 tic anti-German policy of the gov ernment is a source of danger. Czecho-Slovakia, in a physical sense is I better off than any other country over here. She has ample food and fuel and is thus in a commanding position. Her industries can resume with little outside help. With a strong government that country should survive and prosper. Her danger seems to lie In probable ra cial antagonisms wHh resulting po litical confusion. I "As for Hungary, few people here believe it will survive as an inde pendent country. Eventual union with Rumania seems now inevitable, either with its own king as vassal, or simply as part of the empire. "The Rumanians were quick to see the powerlessness of the Allies and simply disregarded the com- Jmunicatlons from Paris. The so called Inter-Allied military mission, unbacked by anything real, is a farce. The other day a letter was pie. to which they were forced to reply In i i j rru - 411.. n(n Htm kind. These are merely illustrative of the conditions there. "Hungary will starve this winter. It Is beginning to starve no.w. The Rumanians have stripped it utterly, from seed wheat -to the printing presses. They control and censor the mails and wires and are in fact and deed conquerors. "Among men with whont I talked in Budapest, there is a conviction liat if Hungary survives it will on ly be under a monarchy. The peasantry want a king and .the old reactionary crowd is powerful, acute and busy.

Many Names Discussed. Paris, Oct. 2 (Correspondence of the Associated Press) After the voters of France have elected the six hundred Deputies of the new Chamber and the municipal general councils have together elect ed two hundred senators to succeed those whose terms have expired, the 600 deputies and 300 senators com posing the parliament will meet some time In January in the National Assembly Chamber of the Chateau of Versalilles to elect the tenth pres ident of the Third Republic. The joint session of (he Chamber and the Senate at Versailles Is call ed the Congress of Versailea. There are no nominations for Pres- Ident in advance of the election of .this week partially confirms the campaign and In sending their pas the members of parliament who are jchild'B story in the minds of many.

The names of presidential posso bilities mentioned thus far are, ln the order their supposed chances: Premier George Clemenceau; Sen ator Charles Jonart, ex-governor tof Algeria, Senator Stephen Pichon, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sena tor Jules Pams, Minister of the In terior; Paul Deschanel, President of the Chamber of Deputies; Senator Aexander Ribot, Deputy Rene Vlvia nl and Deputy Paul Palnleve, al three ex-war premiers; Antonln D bost, President of the Senate and Marshal Foch. Many politicians believe that Clemenceau can have the honor by simply allowing his name to go be fore the Congress. It is still un known whether he wants It. There are indications that he would pre fer to retire on his laurels as the "winner of the war." According to gossip In the lobbies of the Chamber he would be glad to have his ad ministration approved by the choice of one of his associates in the cabi net und there are two candidates in view. Pichon and Pams. Senator Jonnart has a popularity of his own. His name isbeing men tioned with significant persistence. He Is senator from the department of the Pas de Calais and he recently resigned his Important post as gov ernor of Algeria in order to devote himself to the reconstruction of the devastated area of his department whllch comprlsos Arras and Lens wit a considerabe portion of the wrecked coal district. He was formerly head of the Suez Canal, and he accomplished in short order the dethronement of King Constan tino of Greece when it seemed hope less. bly, so that the All-German party with Its membership of about 39 has the balance of power and throws its vote to suit Its own ends. There must be terrible suffering this win tor. The country w'U be practical ly without fuel, and it is a rigorous winter climate. Wood already is scarce and poor and dally increases ln price. The hospi- tasl are still without supplies, the death rate Is high, and the streets literally filled with begging women (and children. Highway robbery is prevalent, smuggling rampant and there are signs of revolution unless conditions quickly -mend. "There, too, the body of the peo ple seem to want a monarchy. They ,have had enough of Republicanism. IWell-In formed people ray acoup d' Itat is not impossible. It would not take much to place a king back If he were a strong man with the quality of leadership.' In any event the re actionary element is strong and grow lng stronger ln the absence, of lead ership ln the present government. "The AuBtrlans are hopeless re garding their future and see only a union with Italy or Czechoslovakia If they are to survive. The country lis bankrupt, stripped ol 4ts resourc es 'by the peace settlement, and the people are too worn out to fight. In spite of the, treaty there Is a feeling that some way will be tried to bring about union with Germany. about union with Germany." GYPSIESGCnHER There is much interest and some ! Jn. ...

A "key" Industry is one essential to British industry and considered so affected by the war that It must be nursed back to health through the medium of gov ernment assistance. The government did not remove Import restrictions September 1 on products manufactured by so called The major- British key industries. Ity of manufacturers forced into competition by removal of the re strictions believed their industry should have been in the favored list.
