Prague, April ,, Cby Courier to
Paris. THE Bolshevists' growing
strength in Czecho- o-Slovakia has been
accentuated by the overturning in
Hungary. 1t is illustrated anew ny
the widespread support given the So
cialist ultimatum handed tho govern
ment about a week ago. I.t meet
ing of the social democratic party,
Slivin, editor of the chief socialist
newspaper, came out flatly for Boil
shevism, for the Russian revolution,
the soviet republic and the German
Spartacans. He maintained the So
Wet republic and the German spar
tacans. He maintained the soviet re-
public was well established in Rus
sa. Later he accused the govern
ment of suppressing free speech and
the right of assembly
Defends Bolshcvlsm.
Slivin is an influential socialist and
his viewpoint in support of the Bot
sheviki shows the wide breach exist
ing between the government ana the
socialists. In an interview granted
me later, Slivin discussing the Hun
garian situation, said the Hungarians
were pursuing a course of respera-
tion and the Bolsheviki were helping.
The confusion and upset would e:thef
terrorize the entente into granting the
| Magyar demands or would force an
occupation which would bring in It's
| trail a good deal of trouble for the
entente countries.
Referring to Bolshevism in Czecho-
! Slovakia, Slivin said nothing revoln-
! tionary could occur there unless Rus
STA broke down the. wall between Rou-
mania and Poland.
Silvin and his colleagues consider
| the Russian soviet republic as a sue
cess They say they have news two
weeks old showing that production
among the industries was 40 per cen
of the normal output On the othei
hand an Austrian medical officer who
has crossed Russia on the way here
said that chaos marked the with
drawal of German Austrian troops
from Russia. There were innumer
able cases of rapine and murder or 0
people stripped naked and left to face
the rigors of the Russian winter witt
practically no food.
Socialists Demand showdown.
While the present Czecho-Sloval
government does not agree with tn
policy, the naturalization of tn
! mines and industries has come neare
the socialist program than was eve
thought possible. Directly the com
munal elections are over when tn
socialists will know their rea
strength, they will demand an elec
ton for a constituent assembly.
"Of course" concluded Slirn VIII
a homesick look in his eyes, "one cal
never tell what will happen In tn
meantime. There is Russia"
An allied commission is now II
Prague inquiring into the Schwart
espionage affair, which the Czec
government says was the center of
delayed German Austrian major plo
to cause an insurrection in Czecho
Slovakia. Following sanguinary en-
counters between soldiers of differen
nationalities and the people in kaa
den. Carlsbad and elsewhere In Ger
man Bohemia a considerable mum
ber of persons were killed.
1t is suggested as a means of pacl
flying the different races in Bohemia
where there are 100000 German
, and 5000, 900 Czechs, to grant tn
Germans a certain form of autonomy
