The bloody deeds of the Hungarian white guards were exposed nd denounced by the speakers, John . Ballam and Harry J. Canter, local secretary of the I. L. D. * Wall Street Rules Horthy Gov. The inspiring story of Comrade Ra- (kosi, people's commissar in the form- ‘er revolutéonary government, who is jslated for execution by the Horthy “bloodhounds, was told by Comrade Ballam. His declaration that “the voice of Comrade Rakosi cannot be strangled by the Horthy hangmen, but will resound thruout the world, in- spiring and @rousing ever greater masses of workers to revolutionary struggle,” was warmly applanded. Comrade Canter showed the con- mection of Wall Street with the Hun- garian murder government and point- efi out that the financial dictator of ‘Hungary is a Boston Banker, Jere- miah Smith,-the agent of J. P. Mor- gan & Co. “We must make these facts known to the working class of America,” he said, “and break the conspiracy of silence in régard tothe: ‘Hungarian white terror which is fos- tered by Wall Street.” The temper of the demonstration was indicated by the banners carried by a number of workers bearing the inscriptions: “The Horthy Hungarian Government Tortures and Murders Workers,” “Free Mathias Rakosi,” “Wall Street and Horthy—Partners,” and many others. Unanimous for Resolution - With shouts of approval the meet- ing voted unanimously to send the following telegram to the Hungarian ambassador at Washington: “One thousand workers assembled on Boston Common have heard the cries of the tortured political prison- ers in the prisons of Budapest, We demand that court martial trials of Mathias Rakosi and other workers be not carried out and-that no executions take place. Failure to conduct these trials by ordinary civil process with full publicity is proof that the Hun- garian hangmen are afraid to let. the truth be known.” A, F. OF L.

This club played an important role in the re- volutionization of the Hungarian radical intellectuals and also in the labor movement. Comrade Rakosi took an active part during the war, together with other members of the Galilej Club and with workers in the illegal agi- tation against the war. When Comrade Bela Kun return- ed from: Soviet Russia to Hungary in the fall of 1918 to carry on Com- munist propaganda, Comrade Rakosi immediately allied himself with the Communists. and was one of the most active fighters besides Bela Kun for the Hungarian Soviets, During the dictatorship in Huh- gary he had charge of the commis- sariat of the army and especially of | the organization of the Red Army.

There he continued his work for the illegal organization of the Communist movement in Hun- gary. Later he went to Moscow where he was elected as ecretary of the Comintern in which capacity he did tremendous service, In ‘the meantime he worked inde- fatigably for the Hungarian prolet- ariat, He was daring enough in spite of the danger to his life to return five times illegally to Hungary to work for the Hungarian proletariat.
