and protest against yesterdays alleged

the crown cannot and will not tolerate
such criticism of an act on it's part
which 1T considers legal and constitu-

1t appears today as though the crown
had determined to terminate the right
of free meeting, free press and even
free speech in Hungary whenever such
manifestations reflect on the legality of
the crowns actions. AS proof of this
it was ascertained today from an ex-
ce1lent government source that the
crown is prepared to suppress newspa-

The members Of the coalition decd
ed this evening not to proceed to the

and constitutionality of yesterdays dis

the houses were dissolved yesterday
must be recognized. otherwise the
