Hungarian sense than they ever
were. When yoked to the lumber.
ing chariot of the Dual Kingdom
they ever kept alive the principle
of Self-dctermination.
What has happened is that,
despairing of finding any
other remedy, Karolyi turned
Bolshevist in the hope of preserv-
ing his country intact. He con
nivcd at revolution. while to the
outward Entente world lie pro-
fcssed himself powerlcss to resist
it. In Bella Kun, the present For
eign Commissary of the Hungar-
ian Soviet Republic, and in. DR..
Rakuvsky, the renegade Ruma-
nian and one time German agent,
he found two admirable compli-
ces. These are the two macen with
whom General Smuts discussed
the basis of agreement in Buda
pest. r
Bella Kun is man of education
anda certain culture, and
amongst the zealots who profess
the anarchist creed of Lenine and
Trotzky would be classed as a
moderate. His political outlook
at present does not take him be-
yond the confines of Hungary. He
proclaims that at present, as far
as he is personally concerned. the
rest of the world may be well
content il he achieves by his own,
peculiar methods the complete
political aud social liberation of
Hungary.
Rak0vsky, on the other hand,
dreams of and works for the com
plctc Soviet subjugatiOn of South
eastern and Western Europe. He
is pledged TO carry the banner OF
Bolshcvism in triumph from the
PENNSYLVANIA Alps to the Danu-
be Delta, and from Budapest to
Paris. RakOvsky was always a
noted political firebrand and is
unquestionably whOlc-hogger.
Born a Bulgarian he became
violently anti-BuIgarian when
Bulgaria was beaten in the Bal
kan war and his native town
passed under the Runanian flag.
Arrested as Il German spy, he
was rescued from prison in Ru-
mania by Russian revolutionary
soldiers. Then he engineered the
plot for removing the Rumanian
King and his Consort. 1t failed,
SO Rakoysky slipped over the -Ru-
manian frontier and became Bol-
shevist High Commissioner at
Odessa. and the Russian Soviet
Government afterward appointed
| him its Minister to Hungary.

From "The New York Tines :,
BY DR.. Constantine Brown.

London, April 9.-Thc wave OF
Bolsheyism is slow by but. surely
sweeping westward. Old-timc po-
liticaI and social institutions
crumble before its advance. and
are swallowed up. From the Rus
sian steppcs it has passed to the
plains of Hungary. 1t is already
at the gates of Vienna.
At first sight the establishment
of a Soviet republic in Hungary
and the adhesion of the whole
people, from army commander to
peasants, to the Bolsheyist inSti-
tutions would seem incXplicablc,
but there are two underlying
causes which contribute to the
result.
One is that Western statement
never fully realized the magnit-
ude nor the possibilities of the
Belshcvist movement. Another is
that apathy and Indifference
that characterizcs tnc attitude of
the Entente physicians in the
handling of this dread disease Of
the body polite.
Bolshevism is highly organiz-
ed. Behind it stand brains and
driving force. II has well-deiincd
aims and ambitions and marches
straight toward its objective over
the ruins of Kingdoms and insti-
tutiOns.
All of its leaders, and especial
Iy those in Hungary, are not the
wild-eyed, longhaiIed. unkempt,
noisy-voiced individuals carica-
tured il the comic press, Ia Hung
AIRY the Allied policy actively aid
ell the Development Of Bolsbc-
vism. For instance, The Hung
arian army was never disarmed,
following the signing OF the ar
mistice. Here was IA military dis
ciplined force ready to. hand and
ripe for any mischief, ready TO
strike when opportunity arose,
and it was not long i'll presenting
itself.
Political discomfort was bred
because no Hungarian worthy the
name. be he noble or pi;;liiiii, :,
would stand Idly by and see his
country dismcmhercd by a body
of eminent and impractical ideal
lists, gathered around a conferen
&c table iu Paris. Rumania was
to have one. slice Of Hungarian
territory and Serbia another.

Hungary | was impressed by the

coming into the war the money
changers of the Turkish capital

that Bolshcvist agents are bying

rate of exchange being about
twelve Russian roubIes for a 20

An extensive traffic of this
thing goes on, and as far as |
could see no attempt was made
to stop it, and SO here, in the

by their inaction are helping to
their enemies and supply them
with the wbercwithal to wage

obtained in Constantinoplc is
