BUDAPEST, May Fl. - The threats
and charges being exchanged here by
mobiles and officials high in the council
Of state including the premier, Beth
len, over the French franc counter
feitina trial becomes more VindictiVe
and sweeping as the process nears its
end. No ones skirts appear to be
clean. The trial of itself is sufficient
basis to say that the fascist regime
founded by Admiral Horthy and now
led by Premier Count Won Bethlen is
corrupt from top to bottom.
Yesterdays testimony was given by
George Hir, deputy. According to
Hir, the Premier, Bethlen, not only
agreed to the counterfeiting plan but
also gave the counterfeiters a safe
conduct letter insuring them against
arrest and also promised financial sup
port of one billion crowns.
6ethlen's Doubtful Denial.
Bethlen of course denied HRS
charge. He declared that If he had
wished to participate, he would not
have associated with Hir but rather
with Prince Windisch-Graetz, who is
a gentleman" II so happens that the
prince in question is the chief defend
ant in the present t-ial
The attitude of all those involved
in the scandal is TO assume the pose
of a gentleman and chevelier of the
old school. For example, Angyan
Bethlens publicity agent, has been
challenged to a duel by HRS lawyer
because Angyan said he winked at Hir
to indicate how Hlr should testify.
Beneath this pose Of "noblesse and
honor" is revealed the lying and

The Workers (communlst) Party
calls upon all the members Of its

Mass meetings should be arranged
and funds raised to be sent to these
miners.
The international Workers Aid is

The miners strike was the kernel
Of the struggle in Great Britain. The
workers, who, demanded that the
Trade Union Congress call a general
strike, were fighting for the miners.
The miners, deserted, are continuing
to fight for Victory.
The great betrayal Of the Trade

For the Victory of the Miners

THE British coal miners are con-

operators and the government.
Despite the betrayal of the coal
miners by the right wing leaders of
the Trade Union Congress, in call
Ing off the general strike, the miners
are standing firmly on their ultl-
matum mot penny off, not
minute on"
They are determined that wages
in the mining industry, already at a
mere existence point, shall not be
reduced. They are determined that
the hours of the miners shall not
be heightened. They demand de-
cent standard Of living, a work-day
that will leave them time for reerea-
tion and education.
The Baldwin government that re-
pudiated it's pledges when It was a
question of getting the workers who
had gone on general strike back to
work, is now showing its real face to
the miners. II is making demands
and supporting the coal operators in
a position which 1t dared not pre-
sent before.
Having profited by the betrayal
of the Thomases, Hendersons and
MacDonalds, in securing the calling
off of the general strike, the Bald
win government is now trying to
use the iron fist in an effort to
smash the resistance of the miners.
The workers the world over, show
ed a splendid spirit of solidarity In
support Of the British general strike.
Now that the miners have been left
to fight alone, thru the desertion OF
the leaders of the Trade Union Con-
gress, they must be supported with
an equal spirit Of solidarity.

The Bosses and the Elections.

THE capitalist bosses of the United States will
be, as ever, well represented in the state and
congressional elections this year. The capital
lists have under their control, representing their
interests and fighting their battles the republic
can and democratic parties.
The capitalists have learned long ago that the
power of the government is the decisive power
in the struggle to promote their economic in
terests and to fight against the demands of the
workers. They have the governmental power
in their hands. They use that power against
the workers. They will fight in the elections this
year to strengthen their power over the gov

What the Government Has Done
for the Capitalists.

1t is only necessary to take a glance at the
record of the government, since the last con-
gressional session began, to learn how the capi-
talists use the government to support their in
terests and fight against the workers.
Hundreds of millions were turned back to the
multi-milonaires and big corporations and
trusts thru the income tax law revision which
was passed by congress. Taxation which the
workers and farmers must pay thru higherpric-
es was notsreduced, but the taxes paid BY the
big capitalists were.
The government maintained the high pro-
tective tariff for the benefit of the big corpora
tions and trusts. The farmer and the worker
paid higher prices. The government manipulate
ed the sugar tariff in the interest of the sugar
trust.
