How the Communist Rule Works Out in Hungary

During the communizing of the
better class houses the occupiers,
thoroughly terrified, stayed as far as
possible in one room. 1t was esti-
mated that Immediately after the
revolution twice the normal popula-
tion had crowded into Budapest. It
soon became evident that minor
Commissaries or Red Guards were
Communicating quarters IN various
big houses and sublettirg them. \
decree was accordingly issued es-
tablizh.ng a housing commission, and
threatening heavy penalties for un-
authorized occupation. The housing
anomalies had their comic IS well
their tragic side. We hear of one
rich conno.sseur sitting weeping in
single room in his palace at the
sigh. Of soapy water trckling under
ne door from the tub Of a wor hy
washerwoman who had established
her washtub on a priceless Persian
Garnet on the opposite side Of the
landing. The room hai been allotted
10 her by the housing commission
and she could not be got 20 under
stand that she was doing any harm.
About the beginning Of May the
Communist Ten Commandments
we're placarded all over Budapest.
They were as follows:
81. Defend the p wer Of the proie-
.ariat, which has led you cut from
the land of captivity. from oppres-
ion b. counts. bankers, factory
owners and generals
-. Have no foreign IDEAS and DO
not make yourselves idols FIGHT for
Red Hungary always. that it may
be as sttoa1 and rerfec. as possible.
50. Honor the Republic Of Soviet
and follow Its commandments. The
Republic Of Sev!ets is working for
you. and you must fight for tie Re
public.
II. Do not lose courage. On the
day when you lose courage your for
mer oppressors will regain their
strength.
-. Do not disturb order. If you
step out Of the ranks you are mere
drop Of water; your enemy can de-
stroy you with two fingers OF MS
hand. # you remain with your COM
rades you are q victorious sea that
swallows up the Old world and brings
on the new one.
"6. Maintain discipline
-. 10 not forget that you are
surrounded by enemies within and
without. March with strong feet.
grip Your weapo-s with strong
hands, aid the sword shall fall from
the hands Of your adversaries and
national frontiers be swept away.
"S. Do no. allow in your ranks
any one who inc.tes you to riot, for
he is speaking the speech Of the
enemy
80. Do not allow in your ranks any
disturber Of ord or proyoca-eur.
"lO. DO not take away tie r.cl

his jewels; let this be the business

were missing from the funds. For
this he is said to have undergone
Q term of two and half years i'm
prisonment, and in the weeks be-
fore his fall he was fond of refer
ring to this misadyenture in his
speeches. saying that he knew what
the inside Of q prison was Ike, bat
that his misfortune was Gue not
10 any fault Of his own, but TO the
wickedness Of the capitalistic sys-
tsm. This experience left him with
a very strong prejudice against the
Socialists. He worked first as g.
journalist. and when modified for
the war he rose to be sergeant.
Taken prisoner by the Russians, he
was :rterned at Onsk. where he
made the acquaintance Of number
Of Russian rcvolutIonarics who had
been exiled TO Siberia. j. the au-
tumn Of 1917 he set out for Hun
gary, but in Petrograd he met
Radek. who offered him the appoint
ment as managing editor OF propa-
gandist paper published FIR Hun
garian prisoners q war, WIN 4
salary Of 1000 rubles month"; He
soon won the confidence Of Lcnine
who selected him for organizing Boil
shevik propaganda in Bohemia
Rumania and Hungary. He took
up his residence with Lenine in the
Kremlin, and became his principal
adviser on Austro- Hungarian af-
fairs"
Here is a character sketch Of the
most formidable Of Magyar Bol-
shevik terrorists:
"Tibor Szamuelly, the Commis-
sioner for War, was Jew, twenty
seven years cid, whose parents were
rich grain merchants in Nyiregy-
haza. He began life as q journalist
and became director Of the papers
of the National Hungarian party.
He was in Moscow with Bella Kun,
and at one time is said to have be.
longed to the Commission against
Counter Revolutionists. In this ca
pacity he showed no quarter % the
Czechs. At the end Of Aucust. 1913,
he was sent to Switzerland with the
sum Of $4,000 rubles, but returned,
saying that the money hal been
stolen from him; he was then given
$4,000 rubles and ordered To leave
Budapest. Many stories are tod
about ris swindling. but still more
abou. his cruelties as head Of the
Terrorist troops. Bella Kun used to
describe Szamuelly as his penknife
wen he opened it, il became a
weapon: but when he shut it, it
might be put safely in his pocket.
Latterly. the penknlte seems 10 nave
been left open, because just before
the fall Of the Communists the Ter
rorist troops, amounting to one hun
dred or so, who were lodged with the
commissioners in the Hungaria
Hotel. were removed on the excuse
that .here was not enough food for
thcm-the real reason was that Kun
feared lest they should JOIN Sza-
muelly and assassinate him.
The narrative proceeds:

nism vas the coniscation Of all The
factories belonging to the capital

"HE first comprehensive ana
coherent review Of the brief
history Of Communist rule IN
Hungary is contained in a
pamphlet just issued in London by
the publishing firm Of ". H. Smith
< Son. The writer, who signs HIM
JEFF by the pseudonym "Lumen,'
). seems TO have spent al Budapest the
period Of four months during which
Bella Kun held Hungary under his
sway. and seems TO be fairly con-
versant with Hungarian conditions.
Extracts from his narrative, with
comment, are printed below.
The Hungarian Communists came
into power on March p, 1919, after
c uat VI chae Karolyi. President Of
The Magyar Peoples Republic, de-
spsrirg because Of the hostile atti-
tudc Of he Allies. had turned over
the government to the Social Demo
crats. The latter at once invited
the Communist leaders, hated and
ae pissed before, but possessed Ct a
growing hold over the Budapest
asses, to share in the new admin
stration. II is at this point that
Lumen" prks up his narrative. His
tory reads, in part:
During the first days Of March
1919. there were riots in Budapest.
On February p sham agitator:
who are locally believed to have been
Germans provoked a demonstration
at the newspaper Office Of the Nap
svav'; they were repulsed by gov
ernment troops. but seven Of the
police were killed and forty-seven
presons wounded. The outbreak was
attributed TO the Communists; there
was Immediately a public demand
that they should be imprisoned as a
public danger. and thirty were ar
rested, including Bella Kun, Alpari
and Bella Vago. These three men
were very roughly handled ~ the
police, and it was said that Kun and
vago were believed to be dead when
they were carried to their cells. 1t
was soon established that the out
break had nothing to do with the
Communist party, and there was
revulsion of feeling in their favor;
they were removed to a better
prison, and it was actually in this
prison that negotiations for the rev.
olutionary government were con-
Quoted.
"As soon as the new government
came into power they all accepted
the Communist program, although
It may be doubted whether old So
cia.'sts. such as Garbai, who was
elected President, ever really ap-
proved of their doctrines. On March
p, 1919, Bella Kun (Cohen). as

gives the following account Of the

Hungarian Communism:
