The Allied Council in Paris on Monday announced that the

Allies would not agree to the re-establishment of the Hapsburg dynasty in Hungary. They did not wish to prescribe a Constitu- tion for the Magyars, but the choice of a Hapsburg Archduke as King of Hungary would be " subversive of the very basis of the peace settlement," and would not be recognized or tolerated. The Allies presumably see that, if the Magyars were tacitly per- mitted to recall the Hapsburgs, no objection could be logically raised to the re-establishment of the Hohenzollern, if not in the person of the ex-Kaiser, at least in that of his unprincipled son. The Monarchists at Budapest are doubtless working in co-operation with the reactionaries in Berlin.
