Hungary holds the worlds cham

Joseph's predecessor, the moderate
Social Democrat Peidll, lasted only

Peoples Republic of Count Karolyi
erected on the ruins of the Hapsburg

AS to the impetuous archduke,
whose promising career was cut

the Paris Conference (they gave
him only two hours to pack his
valise and call a taxi), one thing
may be said for him: If Hapsburg
rule was ever to be reestablished in
the territory of the former Dual
Monarchy, he, and he only, could
have accomplished the task. The
fact is, Joseph-or Joseph August,
as he had called himself prior to the
death Of his father, the elder Joseph
was the most popular member of
the Hapsburg family, outshining by
far his cousin three times removed,
Charles, the Emperor-King. At least
he was the most popular Hapsburg
IN Hungary, where the dynasty, ever
since it had gained the throne, was
considered in the light of necessary

and revolutions testify.
Like almost everything he pos
sessed, except perhaps the honorary
degree of Doctor of Sciences, con-
ferred upon him by the University
OF Budapest at a moment when this
institution had nothing more urgent
to do, the Archduke Joseph inherited
his popularity from his father, the

Personalities in the Ne1us
Governor for a Fortnight Then Back to
Private Life for Archduke Joseph

unlike his popular and democratic
father, held himself rather aloof
from the general public. Like the
other archdukes, he was a member
OF the Hungarian House of Lords;
like them, he never attended ses-
sions. He observed strictly the FAM
lily rule forbidding princes of the
blood to express and, indeed, to pos
sess political opinions, and was, on
the whole, regarded rather monde
script, if amiable, character. His
public career began with the world
war. He commanded one Of the
Austro-Hungarian armies and be-
came extremely popular with the
troops-which is more than can be
said of the other generals of royal
blood. Also, he made himself con-
splcuous by not getting invariably
beaten by the enemy, something the
ether archducal strategists never
failed to do.
On the eve of the Austro Hun
garlan collapse some of the Mag
var Junker leaders urged King
Charles to appoint Joseph Premier
an unprecedented step, to be
sure, even under the Magyar mock
parllamentarism. He was regarded
the only man VINO might have saved
the dynasty. Charles hesitated. and
on October 80 monarchy was over
turned in Hungary by the "blood-
less revolution" led by Count Kar-
olyi and his friends.
Unlike the King, who hurried
head over heels to safety, Joseph
remained in Budapest. One of the
hrst acts of state of the revolu-
tionary government was when the
Archduke appeared before the Ma
tlonal Council and rendered the
oath Of allegiance to the Hungarian
Peoples Republic as plain Joseph
Hapsburg. 1t was a great scene,
one that probably will go down into
Hungarian textbooks of history.
Joseph acted his part we'll, but Just
how seriously he took his oath is
shown by his subsequent behavior.
During the Communist regime the
Archduke was lying low. The en-
try into the Magyar capital by the
troops of the Hohenzollern King of
Rumania gave him, it would seem,
the long expected chance to restore
monarchy and the House Of Haps-
burg. Doubtless he tried to cash
III on the prestige of his father and
grandfather (it appears he revived
the title of Palatine) and on his
wartime popularity. But the Mag
vars, whichever Of their shortcom-
ings had Survived the ordeal of de-
feat, have no love for the Haps-
burg left in them. The rule of
the archducal dictator would. in al,
probability, have lasted exactly as
long as the occupation of the cap
ital by the army Of Hohenzollerr
Rumania. The quick action of the
Allied council at Paris in ordering
Joseph to quit has relieved the Mag
vars from the task of removing him
themselves.
