Pc ACE TALK SFR0NI
AMONG HUNGARIANS
Emphatic Expression from the News
papers, Which Are Under Govern

BUDAPEST, April II despatch to
London Post) How absorbed the people
are in the idea of peace can be seen at a
glance in the Budapest papers The
Nepszava, in a recent number, says
"When they declared war they did not
ask the people if they agreed, they did
not care jot if the people gave their
consent or not Now it is about time to
speak of peace, and as the people want
peace, those in power ought to recognize
at once the wishes of the people
Az Est is just as emphatic 1t says:
The people want peace, and want it very
badly. We are certain that never has a
writer's pen, never has a printing ma
chine served more human and greater
cause than in the attempt to quicken
these feelings Of longing for peace after
the most terrible war that ever ravaged
the ranks of civilization
In fact, the whole press is beginning
feebly as yet, to sound the bugle in favor
Of peace Every day, and in almost every
Hungarian paper, one can find vague or
pronounced illusions to the subject, and
in calling for it they, this time, really do
represent public opinion as we'll as that
of men of authority.

going on systematically with the knowl-
edge and approval of the Hungarian gov

saving this but indirectly there are a doz-
en- reasons one can bring up in support

is that of the Hungarian press IS entirely
in the hands of the government, and pro-
nouncedly government organs like Az Est
are the ones that lead the campaign.
