MatdD says:
''The present change of government In

was not taken for reasons of Internal
conviction or in response to an express
sion OF the popular will. Although Hun

pie hitherto would not hear of COM

lynched.
In Hungary some people hope by this
adoption Of the Soviet system to induce

to the Magyars and to give them prefer
entiai treatment in order to rescue them
from Bolshevism. 1t is an applica ton
OF The same theory one often hears main
tanned here. That against Entente vio-
lation there Is only ono effective de-
fence, namely. the Bolshevist scare,
which alone IL feared by the Entente"

Naturally all possible capital Is made
out of the situation by the Spartacans
and their friends here who were re-
ported to-day about to remove their
headquarters from Berlin further west.
The Hungarian situation will be
watched closely here. especially the En-

from this fact and prevent the modifi-

fed.

our feeling that upon proper representa-
