TIME events now taking place in
i Hungary, the political detective
story of the counterfeiting affair,
show an unparalleled picture of pol
itical corruption.
What happened? How can we con-
meet up on world scale the political
threads of this banknote counterfeit
ing story?
Three Hungarian gentlemen were
arrested in the Hague: former col
onel of the general staff, the secretary
of the fascist party, and manufac-
turer. They were engaged in passing
counterfeit French banknotes to the
extent. of 10 million francs.
At first glance this was an ordinary,
though interesting story, but within a
few days it became evident that this
banknote counterfeiting affair pos
sessed high political significance and
that it contributed tremendously to
the sharpening of the class struggle
in Hungary.
The French government made
strenuous efforts to expose these
diluters Of French valuta. France is
involved in a severe imitation crisis
and it developed that the Hungarian
counterfeiters had put into circulation
millions upon millions of spurious
French banknotes.
The Hungarian police tried to hush
up the whole matter but the new
French ambassador suddenly appear
ed in Budapest, and the represent
atives of the bank Of France and of
the Partisan police took personal
charge, of the affair in Budapest,
bringing to light the biggest political
revelations seen in Europe since the
Panama affair. ,---- -s-..-s----.y
First they arrested the servant Of
Prince Windisch-Gratz, then his
war. 1t then further developed that the
general staff colonel arrested in The
Hague was a brotherin-law of Count
Csaky the Hungarian minister of
war. 1t then further developed that
the general staff colonel, who is, a
member of an old noble family, travel
led to The Hague on the official di-
plomatic courier pass Of the Hungar-
ian government, that the counterfeit
banknotes crossed the six borders
between Hungary and Holland as di-
plomatic baggage.
At this point the Hungarian police
and the Hungarian government made
the most vigorous efforts to put an
end to the entire investigation, but
their resistance was broken by the
terror OF the French government.
Then came new exposures. Prince
Windisch-Gratz, one of the most
prominent feudal princes in Hungary,
one OF the props Of the old Hapsburg
dynasty, was arrested as one of the
chiefs OF the counterfeiters' gang.
His grandfather was the commander
in-chief OF the Austrian army which
In 1S49 drowned out the Hungarian
revolution In blood. He himself had
been a minister in the Hapsburg gov
eminent, a leader OF the counter-re-
volution against the Soviet regime
and now chief of an international
banknote counterfeiters' wholesale So
ciety. This Is not enuf. Twentyfour
hours later the Hungarian minister OF
police, Nadossy, the confidential agent
Of Horthy, the head OF the national
police, was arrested an an active par

PHILIPPINE DRIVE
BY REDS RUMORED
BoIshevists Suspected of
Arousing Class Conscious
ness Through Secret Bodies.

BY Radio to The Star and Chicago Daily News.
AT SEA OFF SURIGAO. Island of
Mindanao. p. L., September 4.-There
are reports of bolshevist activities i'm
Mindanao operating through a secret
society or societies. The purpose is to
promote class consciousness and or
ganize the proletariat. using the slO-
gan of independence. but with diff
ferent end in view. In this respect the
movement resembles bolsheyist ac-
tivities in China, where the workers
are being scientifically organized un.
der Russian tutelage. as they were or
ganized years ago in Russia and else
where.
The bolshevist drive in Mindanao
and possibly elsewhere In the Phil
ippine Archipelago is said to center
in Canton. China. where 1t connects
directly with Soviet Russia. Canton
is notoriOusly strategic point for
bolshevism IN the Orient, much more
definitely than Shanghai.
Hitherto political maneuvers in the
Philippine Islands have been by politi-
cos, who are brilliant and highly edu-
Gated. A movement directed from
Canton would tend to take control
away from the Filipino intelligenzia.

WHITE PINE CAMP. n. Y, Sep

this Government to compete with
other nations in any form of arma-
ment, even where there are no treaty
restrictions, according to President
Coolidge.
This pronouncement came from the
President through his spokesman, and
it is looked upon as more sweeping
and far-reaching than any previous
utterance the President has made
looking toward the discouraging of
competition among the world powers
in the matter Of armament.
1t was made very plain by the
President that the United States is
not now engaged in competitive con-
struction OF armaments. including
airplanes, but at the same time the
President indicated that he stands
ready to extend the restrictions that
now apply to battleships and airplane
carriers to "all classes and cases"

The President is Of the opinion that
the aviation Of the United States is

tempting to compete, but because a

GENEVA, September 4. The
League of Nations council today
adopted the report of the commission
on reorganization of the council, pro
viding for the creation of three new
non.permanent council seats and des-
ignating Germany as a permanent
seat holder as soon as she is elected
to League membership.
Sweden alone expressed the opinion
that there should be no increase In
the number of non permanent seats.
After approving the report, the coun-
Gil forwarded it to the assembly, with
the recommendation that II be

The council also instructed the

successful in having the council PASS

many alone should be elected to

in favor of creating three nonperma'

The consequent discussion delayed
the convening of the public council
session nearly an hour and half.

League leaders plan to elect Spain

Spains probable absence from the as
sembly. They hope this will induce
the Madrid government to abandon
any idea OF resigining from the
league.
1t is also learned that the Turkish
ministers in London and Bern have
arrived here to observe political de-
velopments, especially the effect of
the entrance of Germany into the
league. which now seems a certainty.
The importance of Germany's en-
try had been temporarily overshadow-
ed by the Spanish league crisis, but
the statesmen were beginning to en-
phasize that, with Germany
once an active league member, no
European power could afford to be
absent.
The presence of the Turkish diplo-
mats here is interpreted by some as
foreshadowing early application by
the Angora government for league
membership.
