TRANS will join the Bavarians, per-
haps.
There will be a war between the
Poles and the CZechs, as the latter
have an understanding with the Mos
cow government. In this war Hun
gary will help the Poles, in order TO
get back Slovakia, once her PROVINCE.
Should the Raumanians have difficult
ties with the Russian bolsheviki over
the, old province OF Bessarabia, this
will be a signal for the Hungarians
to get back Transylania. The Hun
garlans know we'll that the allies cant
help the Czechs In military way.
and perhaps wouldn't if they could.
The point that troubles the Hun
garians most, is the possible attitude
OF the Serbs should the Hungarians
engage in a new war. They nope
that Italy in such case would threat
en- the Serbs. Should the Hungarians
first strengthen themselves by help
ing the monarchists in Austria to
overthrow that republic, and then
both be Joined anew under Emperor
Charles, the case with Serbia might
be- helped.
Hungary is. in such a condition at
present that she can't abide by rne
frontiers of the peace treaty. Two
thirds of her territory has been taken
by the Czechs Serbs and Roumanians
the latter getting nearly one third.
Her population has been cut from
2o.oo0.OOO to 100000. These H.
100000 under new domination are be-
ing robbed and mistreated by their
rev masters, until many fee to Hun
gary proper.
This has made a big, dissatisfied
population which has no money or
work, or any future unless they win
back their homes.
so new war will inevitably come
out of this homelessness and hatred
and poverty. In Slovakia the Czechs
have thied to rule by arms but the
locally enrolled soldiers are fleeing
to the forests. Communism has been
declared by workmen in the centers
about Kaschau. The peasants who
used each year to so to the plains Of
Hungary to till the soil and gather
the harvests are not now allowed to
cross the frontiers. So they must
starve this winter. Already they
have but two pounds of bread per
month. Czech SPECTATORS and car
pet baggsrs are cutting down the
magnificent forests.
Should disorders break out there.
1t is possible that Hungarian soldiers
lately mobilizef at Mi:skoloz will
cross over and then the Czechs will
be driven OUT
