MORE HANGMEN | | (Red Aid Press Service) | BUDAPEST, Hungary, (By Mail).} Some time ago the public execu- joner in Hungary went to join his | umerous victims. The authorities vere immediately swamped with ap- blications from would-be hangmen in jall parts of the country. In order to shorten the field the jauthorities in Budapest have issued an official announcement that the pituation is open and detailing the lconditions- with which a successful applicant would have to comply. The document itself is worthy of being | quoted. Applicants applying for the | position must be able to prove the} following by documentary. evidence: “Hungarian nationality, age, educa- ltion, previous occupation, a career lwhich never came into collision with | the law, a patriotic attitude during |the period of the proletarian dicta- \torship, the necessary physical quali- lties necessary for their future pro- fession and practice in conducting jexecution!” There is no doubt that Horthy Hungary can produce numerous per- sons with “practice in conducting executions,” for instance unemployed white officers who secured their “practice in conducting executions” | whilst proving themselves patriots, ‘not during the proletarian dictator- ‘ship, but in any case immediately \afterwards, even if the bloody execu- tions carried out by them did not | always conform in their details with ‘ithe niceties of a modern execution. i Tower middle class, the small Lagaatestrrer. the shopkeeper, the (artisan, the peasant, all these fight against the bourgeoisie, to save ‘from. extinction their existence as |fractions of the middle class. ‘They are therefore not revolutionary, but | econservative-—Karl Marx (Commu- | mint Manifesto). ‘Starvation in Penna.

The policy of successive governments aimed per- sistently at establishing an open fascist military distatorship. The regime of terror, the exploitation and oppression of the people, the practice of suppressing the strug. gles of the workers and of the na. tional minorities with fire and sword cost the lives of many thousands of toilers who were murdered either openly or secretly. The fascist military coup d’etat of |Jan. 6 completed the bloody work. The bourgeoisie of Serbia, in co- operation with the Croat and Slo- venian bourgeoisie and rich land- owners, and supported by the great capitalist powers, organized a coup d'etat through the Serbian mon- archy.

In his manifesto to his “beloved people,” the new absolutist monarch promised many things. The kingly | promises were, however, followed by raids upon the peasantry to squeeze |the taxes out of them. Famine is present in the Herzegovina, in Bos- nia, in Dalmatia and in Montenegro. There is no assistance for the starv- ing population.

The sup- pression of the Peasant Party of Raditch was accompanied by a search of the houses of the leaders of the left wing of that party, in- cluding the house of the member of parliament, Penav, who was wounded in parliament when Raditch was killed.
