THE BUDAPEST POGROM.

Back from the heart Of red Hun
gary after five years Of thrilling ad-
venture in that whirlpool Of political
cross-currents-five years of adven-
ture Of war, Bolshevism, counter-rev.
olution and Roumanian occupation,
Miss Marguerite Gonda told me the
old, old story-that the Jew is again
bearing the burden for the miseries
Of whole people-that every Jew in
Hungary is suffering for the mis-
deeds OF few. II is all too true and
all too tragic that the Jew is ever
the scapegoat. Throughout the ages
the blame has been cast upon him for
all the miseries Of the nation in which
he CHANGED to reside. II the crops did
not grow-"Kill the Jews; IL the
babies died Of any childish ailment-
the Jews were responsible; II the
troops Of the enemy invaded the land
and defeated the country's forces
by all means massacre the Jews for
that; IL the price Of food scared
search for the Jewish profiteers and
hang them; and II by any lurking
chance one single Jew was found to
be remotely associated with the crime
charged against his people-the whole
race paid the penalty. So II was in
Spain, so in Russia, so in every coun-
try where the Jew has rested his
head, and so II Is in Hungary today.
The whole Jewish population Is ex-

lived the mightiest of them? Is 1t
shame to have been packed into dark
ghettoes, and yet to have kept the
lamp Of knowledge burning even in
the darkest ages? Is it a shame to
have suffered enslavement, and yet to
have written the word Liberty into
the dictionaries Of the world? Is it
a shame to have been denied admis-
sion to the public school, and yet to
have been the founder Of it? Is 1t a
shame to have been denounced in the
churches, and yet see these very
churches avail themselves of the sa-
cred literature and the religious prac-
tees Of them whom they denounced?
Is II a shame to have been branded as
Decides, even while laboring hard to
keep alive and unpolluted the idea
Of the one God? Is it a shame to
have been caricatured and DETAINED,
and yet to know that greater honor
than has been shown to Jesus, the
Jew, and to his Jewish Disciples, has
never been shown to any other men!
Is it a shame to have been barred
from non-Jewish society, and yet to
have found in ones own home, and
among ones own people a domes-
ITCHY and morality superior to those
Of the others? Is it shame to be
denied association with people who
pride themselves on being descend
ants Of those who invaded England
with William the Conqueror, or sailed
in the Mayflower, or fought in the
War Of the Revolution, or sgined the
Declaration Of independence, when
one can pride himself with descent
from those who fought in the first of
all revolutions for political and relig-
ious liberty, from those who signed
the earliest Of all declarations, the
Declaration Of the Decalogue?
Being q Jew a Unsuitable Cause of
Pride.
Who that is a descendant from a
people as ancient and honored as Is
rael, a people over whom neither gods
nor nations nor men have prevailed,
who that is familiar with the story Of
their marvellous achievements, who
that ponders on the providential
choice and protection Of them, can
help feeling and believing that Of all
prides that Of being a Jew is one Of
the most justifiable?

their atrocities. And this was the
new old story that Miss Gonda told
me when she arrived in New York
just a few days ago from Budapest.
Miss Gonda, an American of Hun
garian Jewish parentage, went to
Hungary in 1918 as a representative
Of an American bank. Unable to OBJ
tain passport, this American girl
lived through the whole war with her
country's enemies and suffered
through the whole series of swiftly
moving events that began with the
advent of Bella Kun and the Soviets
and eliminated in the Roumanian in
vasion. She was an eyewitness 10
the Budapest pogrom of August,
1919, Of which the outside world
knows little and Of which even those
who saw rivers Of blood flow through
the streets were unable to estimate
the toll. The pogroms in Poland and
Ukrania have been the subject of
much newspaper comment, but out
side Of a brief cable dispatch from
Hungary very little so far has leaked
out concerning the Budapest pogrom.
when Bella Kun, whose real name
some say was Kohn came from Russia
where he had been a pupil Of Leon
Trotzky and had studied with the
workings Of the Soviet government
there, Bolshevism first lifted its head
in Hungary" Miss Gonda said. at
was some time in February, 1918, /
don't remember the exact date, when
the first clash occurred between the
Bolshevists and the Karolyi govern
ment. | was returning to my lodg-
ings with party Of friends when riot
ing began in the central streets. We
took refuge in a hotel, remaining
there until early morning, when the
fighting had ceased. Six policemen
were shot during that street battle
and Bella Kun arrested. When he
emerged from Jail, it was noticed that
his features were perceptibly changed
as though several bones were broken
in his face and not properly reset.
later learned from a friend Of Mrs.
Bella Kun that when her husband was
in prison he had been severely beaten
by the companions Of the slain po-
licemen. My personal acquaintance
with the family Of Bella Kun does not
allow me to doubt that he was sincere
and we'll intentioned. Indeed, we had
no quarrel with the ideals Of the Boil
shevists, but the actual working out
resulted in untold misery to all Hun
gary and particularly to the Jews. l
may as well admit that Bella Kun's
supporters included many Jews, or
rather many who were Of Jewish par
entage. To call them Jews is to libel
the race.
During the war, the Jews had
prospered in Budapest. The popula-
ton Of the city, believe, is nearly
half Jewish and a majority Of these
were wealthy Jews. Bella Kun con-
fiscated their property, as well as the
property Of Christians. He opened
the shops Of Jewish tradesmen as well
as Christians and took away their
stocks, and the wealthy and middle
class Jews became avowed enemies Of
BOlshevism. So it happened that just
as Jews were leaders in the Bolshe-
visit movement-they were also lead
ers in the anti Bolshevist movement.
The reaction came upon the fall Of
the Bella Kun government in late July,
