TO regain their pr6-War power III
Central Europe, re-establish the old
German empire and bring back
frontier lines that existed before
1914.
The money America already has
lent Hungary is being used by the
Horthy regime in imperialistic pro-
grams certain to bring war, and
within six months Hungary will be
seeking new loans to continue the
work, the count declared.
Gagged BY HOrthy Plot.
The whole plot to keep him silent
during his stay in New York was
inspired by the Horthy group for
fear the truth would upset the
kettle, he said, adding the charge
that this period of silence was i'm
posed directly through Count Seen
enyi, Hungarian envoy to Washing
ton.
II can understand, the count
said, sthe attitude OF the Horthy
government and why 1t fears to
let me talk. but cannot Under
stand why washington should fall
into line simply because Gladys
Vanderbilt married Szechenyi."
Europe's problems, Karolyi said,
are not financial, but economic and
social and mo financier can solve
them Money can and should be
loaned, he explained, but "not to
a gambler unless he shows first
that he no longer viii gamble but
will settle down to an honest eff
fort to use the money properly"
Turning to the State Department
and the gag imposed when he came
to New York to visit his sick wife,
KarolY said:

somewhat pleased that 1t was inn
posed. Had the State Department
taken no gag action. my woods
might have been but a call in the
desert. Thanks to the State De-
partment, the whole world now
hears them and my cause is helped
more through this than the mon
archist cause is helped through
all the millions spent on mean,
stupid and lying propaganda.

much more violent speech against
Horthy in England than is con-

here, and there was no gag.

France, and there was no gag.
Poincare and Herriot both pro-
tested to Hungary against the
attacks made on me. Poincare re-

Abandon Fourteen Points"
All of Europe's present turmoil
would have been avoided, he in.
sisted, had the Allies made q
Wilsonian peace and abided by that
Presidents fourteen points.
Instead they abandoned the four
teen points and set up European
frontiers on the basis of the 1915
London conference" he continued.
Neither l nor any one else is salts
fled with these boundary lines. The
difference is that Horthy and the
Monarchists would change them by
force, embroiling Austria, Germany,
Hungary, Rumania, Servia, Jugo-
SIavia, Czechoslovakia, and others
in war that would mean the final
downfall of all Europe, while seek
to change them only through peace,
neighborliness, and mutual under
standing.
Wilson's furteen points were not
ideaIism, they, were practicalism.
Yet they were thrown away. The
question of Hungary being a king
dom or a republic is small. / care
not which it is, so long as the
people themselves decide and have
fair and square chance to decide.
Problem Is EurOpe's.
''If the world knew what is going
OH in the back of the heads of those
new in power in Hungary, it would
know that Hungary's problem is not
Internal. but is Europe's. Horthy
supporters are either knowingly or
unknowingly supporting that very
imperialistic policy which the Allies
fought.

Europe after the millions and mil
liens in men and dollars it has In

Security must not be financed alone,
it also must be political. What
