Vienna Jan. 27.--Signs have APP
peared that the Hungarian govern
ment has entirely lost the confidence
of the country Attacks on its cha
otto administration are heard on all
sides and the press, winch WAS law
ish in praise of Premier and Pro-
visional President karolgl Two
months ago, is now filled @ith abuse
of him and his ministers
Effects of misrule have become in
creasingly manifest in the last few
days, showing that the government
deserves at least some part of the
blame now heaped up it. Pmndering
has become common in the interior,
and the dissolution of the army has
exposed the frontier to the rayages
of foes.
Magyars Ordered Out.
Reports from the Eanat, brought
by the Serbian press, say the Serbian
government, following a council in
Temesvar, has ordered all Magyard
residents of the Ranat to leave there
within two weeks State employees,
railway men and postal officials are
not excepted in this order. When
made effective, the order viii take
the administration of that district en-
tirely away from the Hungarians,
From Mariath and Eresienopei alone
10000 Magyars must migrate.
This measure intensifies alarm in
Budapest. for it means not only the
IA Il ...s1
unemployed but 1t clearly indicates
also the loss of the Banat district,
comprising the richest wheat lands in
Hungary or in Southern Europe.
Business men, peasants, intelec-
tuals and officials are thoroughly
aroused and are hastily forming new
parties all Of them proclaiming; "A
strong government or Hungary's com
plete ruin"
Entente Notes Fail.
Malcontents are saying that the
chaotic conditions have reacted upon
relations with the Entente Powers,
which are sending notes, distinctly
unfriendly in nature, demanding the
immediate adoption ana enforcement
of Bolshevist measures. Social
lists in the cabinet are not needing
such demands, and the military
forces are wholly controlled by ig
norant Soldiers Councils, with Boil
shevist tendencies, Premier karoIyl
has thus found it impossible TO meet
single handed the conditions imposed
by the Entente.
In the midst of these troubles from
without, the Finance Ministry has
imposed a progressive income tax
running up to so per cent, and also
a property tax which thinly wells a
coHimunistic purpose. The Premier
has been trying to force a general
election, which is practically impos-
sible at this time, because only five
of the siXty-four municipalities are
free from occupation by enemy
troops.
This is probably the reason why
the premier permitted his election as
provisional president of the Hungar-
ian republic by his ministers, instead
of submitting the matted to the peo-
pie. BY whatever title he may be
known, he reserves to himself the adj
ministraItion of the foreiSI office.
and he is certainly premier in fact.
Serbia, Roumania and Hungary Claim
Banat District.
The Banat (from the Hungarian
NpIu intdilt'S ruicu ny governor VI
chieG is almost a rectangle to the
south of Hungary and is principally
MagyarS and Jugo-Slavs. Hungary,
Serbia and Roumania are claiming
the territory with Serbia apparently
in the ascendancy
The territory is bounded by the
Danube, Thesis and Maros rivers al
most entirely except on the cast,
where the Transylvanian Carpathians
shut it in. Belgrade, the Serb capital,
is on the southwest corner. The Ba-
nat has long been famous as one of
the most feltile reg'onsin Europe, It's
wheat being of particularly fine quail
ity. The growing of silk is also one
of the main industries. The chief
towns of the section are Temevar,
Werchetz and Nagybeckerek.
