Premier Clemenceau's statement follows: fol-lows: "The allied and associated governments are most anxious to arrange a peace with the Hungarian people and thus bring to an end a condition of things which makes the economic revival of central 10 u rope impossible and defeats any attempt to f secure supplies for ity population. . "These tasks cannot even be attempted attempt-ed until there is in Hungary a government govern-ment which represents its people and carries out in the letter and spirit the ) engagements into which it has entered f with the associated governments. . "None of these conditions arc fulfilled by the administration of Bela Kun, which ihas not oidy broken the armistice to which Austria was pledged, but is at this moment attacking a friendly and allied power. "With this particular aspect it is for the allied governments to deal on their ' own responsibility. ) "If food and supplies are to be made available, if the blockade is to be removed, re-moved, if economic reconstruction is to be attempted, if peace is to be settled, it can be done only with a government which represents the Hungarian people, and not with one which derives its power bv force. ) "The associated powers deem it proper ' to add that the foreign occupation of 1 Kungaria, as defined by the congress, will cease as soon as the peace armistice i has, in the opinion of the commander in peace, been satisfactorily complied j with."
