The Nationalist students at Budapest University have started a new anti-Jewish agitation. Placards have been posted up on the walls of the University building, calling on the Hungarian students to follow the example of the Polish students, and in particular to demand that Jewish medical students should not be allowed to dissect any other than Jewish bodies.

The authorities have confiscated the placards, but the press is urging the Government to proceed against the students under the present martial law powers, warning it that otherwise anti-Jewish excesses are inevitable, many of the students being even in possession of arms which they will not hesitate to use against Jews.
