Political Persecution in Hungary: an Appeal to British Public Opinion.
By Scotus Viator. (A. Constable and Co. is. net.) —"Scotus Viator" has reproduced in this pamphlet the sub- stance of two articles which have already appeared in print, one of them in the Spectator. They contain a remarkable narrative of political persecution in Hungary which will be a revelation to those who believe in the Liberal professions of the dominant Magyar caste. A member of the Coalition Government has said that Hungary is as free as Britain or the United States; but actually imprisonment is dealt out freely to the non-Magyar politicians, and there is hardly a Slovak or Roumanian journalist who has not been sent to prison for expressing his opinions. The Magyars can only maintain their ascendency by suppressing the Slav races, for they are in a minority. Yet not long ago they entertained a party of British Liberals in the name of their common Liberalism ! We commend this pamphlet to public opinion in Britain.
