the sympathy of the Socialist workers
so they received their liberty and started a
merciless agitation against the Karolyi govern

try They formed soldiers council and took
the power from the hands of Karolyi.
karolyi resigned as president of the republic
and gave his place to Social Democratic cab
met to avoid the disorder in the country.
AS soon the cabinet started its function,
the Communists seized power proclaimed Hun
gary a Soviet Republic and Bella Kuhn as die
tator of the republic.
Bella Kuhn set out his plan for the future at
the first meeting of the Peoples Council. In his
opening speech he stated:
II do not admit the distinction between moral
and immoral. The only distinction I know is the
distinction between that which serves the pro-
letariat and that which harms it."
And he proved that he meant what he said.
He set out his government with 80 COM
missars. giving them unlimited power They
proclaimed Hungary a Goddess country,
they closed the churches and put the priests in
prison camps They threw out the books from
the schools and replaced the teachers with their
own men and women. And these people told the
boys and girls that they would not have to obey
their parents as the government would take
of them. They told the young girls that
their only duty was to give their love to any
one who cared for it. And they put this theory
into practice. Red soldiers went to the homes of
the better class of people and with their bay
onets they forced the good-looking young girls
and young married women to follow them to the
barracks of the Red soldiers and entertain them,
keeping them In the barracks day and night
for the pleasure of the soldiers until fresh
troupe of girls arrived. Many of these innocent
girls and young women never returned home.
They committed suicide rather than face their
families.
They opened the doors of the penitentiares
and recruited the criminals into the Red army.
They sent detachments to the villages and
towns in the country to organize the Communist
rule and to requistion food fer the Red army.
When the detachment arrived at village or
town the first step was to shoot or hang few
leaders so that the rest of the people would be
scared.
They organized secret police in the Capital
like that in Russia and gave them absolute
power. They arrested all men and women who
declared against the Communist rule. They were
tortured during the day and at night they threw
their half-dead bodies into the Danube river.
Residents of the Capital witnessed every
morning feess bodies floating on the river
men and women, young and old, who were the
innocent victims of the Red dictator Bella Kuhn
and his associates.
"A /ITHIN short time Hungary and its Cap
w ita were voiceless. Nobody dared to saw
a word against the Communistic rule or against
Bella Kuhn.
Under the false plan of requistion the Red
soldiers intruded into the homes of the wealthy
or better class of people and stole everything
that they cared for. They merely followed the
example of their leaders, for Bella Kuhn and
his commissars emptied the vaults of the banks.
