But at length she had got into

refugees across the frontier; and so,
after six months waiting, she and her

Quiet Hours In
Hungary

n EPoRTs received during the
past two weeks indicate
IA A that the Soviet Republic
Of Hungary is on the verge
of collapse. On the other hand,
there were dispatches telling of the
increasing strength of Bella Kun s
government. OF the conflicting
evidence it is rather hard to ferret
out the truth. This account given
Of Hungarian conditions in the new
republic by H. n Brailsford, the
we'll known English journalist and
expert on Near Eastern questions,
is on the whole not unfavorable to
the Communist regime. Again, the
correspondent Of "The London
Daily Telegraph paints the situa-
tion in the gloomiest colors, indi-
rectly supporting the diagnoses of
earlier date of the correspondents
Of "The London Times" and the
Berlin "Vosslsche Zeitung."
In his article Brailsford empha-
sizes his impression that the domi-
nant note in Bolshevik Budapest
is not anarchy, but the opposite,
exaggerated order. There is in
Europe to-day no city more mo-
notonously orderly than Budapest" "
he writes, "and the stranger who ex-
pected confusion energies in the
end little stihed by the oppressive
order. He continues:
"The amazing thing is that this new
dictatorship, scattering orders so nu-
merous that memory cannot cope with
them, is everywhere obeyed. 1t has
ruthlessly carried out its principles.
Private property in all but the smaller
forms of capital vanished in q night.
1t mattered little that the internal
state debt, above a minimum figure,
was epudiated-its owners did not
exaggerate the value Of their scrip.
Nor was the appropriation of indus
trial capital a catastrophe measure.
for there are no old industrial families
in Hungary, and no numerous master
class. The Jewish middle class-a
Magyar middle class hardly exists
is very new, and so given to speculation
that the sudden shocks seemed to it no
worse than a gamblers losses.
