CITES OTHER COALITIONS
Count Andrassy pointed out that ~
Der Of other countries have, since th.' y.
adopted a policy of taking carefuIly 4.
account the views of the Opposition ana 4
clRred that the Hungarian Opposition ~,
not maintain a passive policy which lnds-
emily lays all responsibility for mIrt,s.
on the Government.
1t Is in the interest of the country n. 4
clared, to give the Opposition char.
voice It's sentiments in the decison ~ -
tions which may be connected with tn NJ.
future of Hungary. That they, the 0u,r.
ton, may be able to do this, how.y.r \
pointed out that II was fully as nscsss,,
that the real, inside situation be know.
advance as that the Opposition shouIS i.
granted the right to participate IN d,
ernment councils.
In his announcement Of the Goyernu,.l,
Willingness to accede to tho proposals q h,
Opposition, Prime Minister Tisza erpr,si
himself as in complete understanding "A
the strivings of a patriotic Opposition sa
seeks to take part in government, 10 Avn
mistakes and to help wherever possbls
He announced therefore that he ccD,a
cred II the duty of the Government Ia Il
this ambition of the Opposition, and
order that open discussion might be aYoIia
to give the Opposition the opportunIty
nj thaf 70 A.. u
over the Government which the 0pp,t

The Parliament broke out into r.uu
of approval as Count Tisza then contllz
to say that he was willing TO consult u
the Opposition leaders with regard to n
and means of keeping them informdt
gardlng the important questions Of
country.
Regarding the Oppositions desire to "a
Tree access to private audiences with q
Emperor. Count Tisza declared that !
should feel himself remiss in his duty ~
statesman II he should put anything :
the way of others which would prtyri
such a procedure. 1t would cause NJ
nothing but pleasure, he declared II u
leaders of the opposing parties have y
opportunity to come directly into isuA
with His Majesty"
OPPOSITION BADLY SPLIT
The first difficulty In carrying out %
program comes not from the Governnsz
but rather from the Opposition Itself y
officially from the radical wing Of the .
called independent party headed by cola
Michael Karolyi. The independent parry :
is said, is even threatened with dlsruptks
The trouble appears to be as follesk
The Opposition councillors Of the Gosnt
ment, as proposed, will advise exclusive
on foreign affairs. To be able to do So ags
the radical independents, they should b
unit, which they are not, for the Opposil1
itself is split politically, Just as Hungap
split politically.
The bulk OF the Opposition wants, a 4
representatives In Government couneA
Count Andra s5y. Count Albert Appoint -
Count Aladar Zichy. In addition, II 70 ~
that Count Tisza wants to confer only W
this trio. The Opposition. or portionsef
would like TO see Stephan Rakoyslv a.
Wilhelm Va2sonyi added to the three ~
again the Government demurs.
In an effort to settle tho differencs
the Opposition, conference was hsla
which 1t was proposed II create a mlaaa
organization which should give instruesap
to the above-named trio. This has ila4
through. The opposition, however, Is ele
dent that its own differences can be ssla'a
in which case they believe political oplp'.
tunity has been vouchsatrd them suen
they have sel1om IL ever had.
