The activities of a new anti-Semitic organisation which passes under the name of the “Party of the Nation’s Will,” or “Life Union,” are revealed by the newspaper “Esti Kurir.”
The provincial centres of Hungary are being flooded with leaflets by this organisation, which demands a ruthless solution of the Jewish question and the establishment of a dictatorship, the paper states.
The leaflets demand the exclusion of Jews from all trades and professions. The Jewish race, they declare, has been instilling poison in the Hungarian nation for 150 years and it was due entirely to Jewish teachings that Hungary was truncated and for the War and that the economic conditions in the country became so desperate.
Declaring that without a dictatorship the Jewish question cannot be solved, the pamphlets complain:
“Our whole State system and our Government is entirely in Jewish hands. Our spiritual, moral and social life, our art, literature and press are infiltrated with the Jewish spirit.”
The party demands establishment of a Council of Ten, consisting of six landowners, one State official, one businessman, one artisan and one worker. The main aim of this Council is to free the country from the influence of “Jewish liberalism.” 326 districts throughout Hungary have been flooded with this literature.
The authorities, “Esti Kurir” reports, have so far taken no steps to stop the agitation of this organisation.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
