CONFUSING HUNGARY

published in the Vienna Mor0enseitun0,
In which a member of King Charles's en-
tourage in Switzerland was interviewed.
According to the Vienna correspondent
III. Kings servant admitted that Charles
planned to return to Hungary some
time In the near future"
Little Entente Opposed.
All obvious evidence tends to the
conclusion that the Little Entente Is
preparing to wage a vigorous opposition
in case of an attempted return OF the
King. Irgoui,sky Glasnik, one of the
most influential Jugo-Slav newspa pers,
says. Public opinion is convinced that
on August 90 Charles w. will return
sko Bud apest. Jugo-Slavia must not for
get that the restorat tion Of the Haps-
burgs is the greatest danger possible.
We must not wait for action until
August 90 but must declare officially
now that every attempt at Hapsburg
restoration Is 'casus belli' for u.s.
The article goes on then to demand the
disarming of Hungary in conformation
with the treaty Of Trianon.
In Czecho-Slovakia the National So
cialists have introduced bill provid-
ing penal servitude for persons engaged
in royalst propaganda and imprisop
ment for any member of the Hapsburg
family trespassing on Czech -err;tory,
with a death sentence IL the offence Is
repeated.
Meanwhile in Hungary itself the
country is being split vide open on this
subject. The fight has come down to a
conflict between Regent Governor
Horthy and the legitimists. and the
alignments are exceedingly interested
and unexpected. Organized labor, for
instance, which one would expect to find
anti-royalist, Is only half heartedly
against Hapsburg restoration. since Its
leaders believe that any change would be
for the better in their case. They be-
licve that the restoration of the monarchy
would mean a general amnesty for poll
tical prisoners and the end Of the pres
ent policy OF arresting radical "sus-
poets" and interning them for weeks.
even months, without trial. Similarly.
the Jewish liberals are inclined 10

disposed of they are quite likely to leave
the coalition and turn on the present

Horthy Has Enemies.
There Is a strong feeling on all sides
that the Regent Governor is overstepping
himself. and Ironically enough the re-
dictionary Carlists. in their expose OF
the Regent Governor, are contributing to
the growth of liberalism and republican
ism in Hungary. When Prime Minister
Teleky resigned in April as the resul,

accused him of conniving to keep Charle:
