HUNGARIAN JEWS
APPEAL TO ENGLAND

By PROF. GOTTHARD DEUTSCH.

London, Prominent Jewish leaders
of Budapest have addressed a memor-
andum to the English military mis-
sion, in which they declare that the
Jews are being held responsible for
the misdeeds of the liolslieviki, in
spite of the fact that the Jews suf-
fered more than all others as a re-
sult of Bolshevist confiscations and
decrees. The Jews of Budapest ap-
peal to the English mission for
reparation for the damage they have
undergone during the recent riots,
and ior protection against future pog-
roms.
A new party has been founded in
Hungary. known as the "II elp for
Hungary" party. It is reported that

this party must take a vow that he

Hungary has been annihilated. The

tures of three Roumanian censors.
