Clce which cloaks the proceedings
pagainst him and hurled defiance
at international imperialism with
the declaration that he had come
to Vienna because he had cum
ulative proof that foreign pow
ers were preparing an attack on the
Soviet Union Outside the courtroom
the cordons Of troops and police stood
nine deep.
From beginning to end of the ses-
sion Kun maintained an attitude Of
Icomposure, bringing frequent express
sions of approval from the courtroom
by his bearing and replies,
The Communist Party and the In
ternational Red Aid are planning
huge protest demonstrations. Heavily
armed detachments of police are
patrolling the streets.
The Hungarian Communist Party
has issued the following appeal to the
workers of all countries:
Communist Appeal.
"The prosecuted, secretly function
ing party Of the revolutionary Hun
garian proletariat, the Communist
PARTY Of Hungary, sends you the fol-
lowing urgent message: Come to our
aid immediately, determined action
is necessary! Hurry to our assistance
and do all you can to prevent the
government of the Austrian Bour-
geoisie from handing over the leader
of our Party, Comrade Bella Kun, to
the Hungarian murderers of workers.
To Overthrow Reaction.
"Under indescribably difficult cir
cumstances, working under the cease
less fire of the united prosecutions
of the Hungarian counter-revolution
and Social Democracy, constantly suf-
fering fresh losses, the vanguard Of
the revolutionary Hungarian prole-
tariat, the Communist Party of Hun
gary, is fighting to rally the toilers of
town and country to fight against
the counter-revoluionary Hungarian
regime and its hackers, Italian
Fascism and British reaction. I'm

tions, it is fighting to get the work.
ing masses TO weaken, to undermine
and to overthrow one of the chief
pillars of the reactionary block in
Southern Europe, Horthy-Hungary.
Save Communist Leader!
"But Hungarian Labor, the Com
munist Party of Hungary, can hold
out against their oppressors only by
exerting every ounce of their
strength, only with the greatest sacri-
flee of their forces and by constantly
rallying their broken lines. And now
the foreign bourgeoisie has Joined in
the raging war of determination
carried on by the Hungarian bour-
geoisie against our Party: The British
and the Italian bourgeoisie are agita-
ting to support Austrian reaction in
its infamous intention TO deliver
Comrade Bella Kun, the champion Of
the Hungarian proletarian dictator
ship, the leader of our party, into the
hands Of his murderers. The Com
munist Party of Hungary is TOO weak
to withstand this vehement attack.
In Hungary itself we have to fight
against hundreds of enemies, and our
strength does not suffice to ward off
the danger which threatens Comrade
Kun. The bourgeoisie of all coun-
tries, foaming with hatred, are bent
on venting their spite against Com
rade Bella Kun, because he fought in
the front ranks of the party which
in the year 19i9-was the first after
cur Russian brothers to hoist the flag
Of Communism in Central Europe.
%The bourgeoisie cannot forgive him
for this, and this is the crime for
which he is to be murdered.
