Fear Social Democrats.


Fear Social Democrats.
DR.. Heinrich Hajdu declared: 81 was
chairman of the Weupest local section
of the social democratic party, the
largest local organization of the Hun
garian social democracy. In 1928 the
Neupest deputy, Emerich Szabo, told
several party members that if and
my comrades did not cease our oppo-
sition and agitation in the party he
would have us interned. We put this
down in writing and reported it to
the party executive, which despite
numerous reminders did not take up
the matter.
II resigned from the social demo
cracy because I hold that the Bethlen
government can only be overthrow
by proletarian party standing on
the platform of the class struggle, and
because I, as a consistent Marxist,
could not remain a member of party
which was branded as immoral by the
Vienna Commission of the Second In
ternational, under the craftsmanship of
Karl Kautsky.
Michael Szabo stated that the social
democratic party went so far in its
terror against opposition members
that It had scores of opposition work
ers discharged by their employers.
Detectives Torture Prisoners.
Georg 10th testifies that when he
was arrested the detective called his
mother and his wife prostitutes, and
that he was horribly tortured for ten
days because he had protested against
this. His daughter and his two broth
ers-in-law were also subjected to tor
ture for days at a time merely be-
cause they were relatives of Rather
inc Hannah.
Johann Krieszl Paul Wander, and
Ladialana Schenmann testify that
they devoted their attention principal
ly to the organization of the young
workers in Hungary. Hungary is the
country in which the young workers
are exploited in the most frightful
manner. tt're
Use Schools For Bosses.
AS Schenmann said that the Lev
ente Institution only served to stupefy
the young workers under the mark of
patriotism so that they became WILL
ing objects Of capitalist exploitation,
the president called him sharply to
order, and forbade him to touch this
point.
Josef Beres had been a member of
the social democracy for three years
when he went over to the socialist
labor party. He left the social democ-
ratio party chiefly because the social
democratic party remained passive
while the meager land reform law was
sabotaged by the counter-revolution
AS he protested to the party against
this, the executive of his trade union
had him discharged from the factory
in which he had been employed.
Alexander Steinlein is charged by
the president with having made a Sc
ditious speech in the demonstration of
June 1925, in which he attacked the
government, the Hapsburgs, the exist
ing system of society, and the social
democracy.
Sbeinlein testified that the rule of
the Hapsburgs, the Bethlan govern
ment and the Hungarian social democ-
racy have so often stirred up the work
ing masses and in such degree that Il
could not add anything thereto"

and head until he fell unconscious.
