Bratisiava, Slovakia.-It is only on
Czechoslovakian maps that this an
Gent Hungarian city of Pressburg al
be located by its new name. Ruled by
Hungary for a thousand years. it
passed under the control of the new
Czechosrovakian republic by the decis-
ion of the peace conference, and a
large part Of its inhabitants do not
take kindly to the new order of things.
Its people are %dominantly Germanic
or Hungarian.
Tie street signs are in German and
Hungarian characters, and now to them
is being added Czech. The old postal
and telephone employees have been re-
placed by Czechs and Czech high Of
ficers installed in the government.
Slovak regiments on duty here have
been replaced by purely Czech soldiers.
In i city as old and conservative and
routine as this, drifting through the
centuries undisturbed in its social Gus
toms, these things have made feeling
run rather high in certain social strata.
Many Are Expelled.
Persons, regardless Of sex, who have
not acquired legal residence are being
expelled. One man who told the Asso-
ciated Press he had lived and done
business here for forty years was ex-
PEELED a few days ago.. The list Of
those cited for expulsion is said to con-
tain names of dead persons
Some Hungarians do pot hesitate to
express their resentment over the en-
ployment Of Czechs in government po-
sitions here formerly occupied by the
Hungarians. Czechs and many Slo-
walks Of the educated classes who hold
office under the government say this
feeling is due to Hungarian and Ger
man propaganda, and has no real
strength or extent. Also they admit
the necessity Of Czech oficialdom, as
Slovakia has little or no educated class
from which to draw executives of abil-
ity.
Hard to Upset Tradition.
1t is hard to upset rudely the tradi.
tons of ten centuries, and talks with
many persons, both in official and I'M
official circles, would indicate that the
~antagonism displayed toward the
CZechs is a natural condition of this
period of transition and is not deeply
rooted. Probably it is stronger here
in Pressburg than in the other parts
Of Slovakia, where the change is not
SO apparent.
The school question plays a very
prominent part in the situation here.
The government has abolished the Ger
man and Hungarian languages in the
schools, and this means a general Dust
ing of teachers and a reaction in house
holds.
