Measures contemplated by the Hungarian Government to clear the political atmosphere in Hungary by dissolving the existing secret societies has brought the government into conflict with the dominant anti-Semitic organizations.
The plan is supported by Prime Minister, Count Bethlen.
Count Bethlen, however, met strong opposition from the Fascisti and anti-Semitic bodies. Deputy Julius Goemboes, one of the outstanding leaders in the anti-Semitic movement, compromised in the counterfeiting plot, boldly challenged the Prime Minister, charging him with ingratitude. “Count Bethlen has forgotten that the same societies which he now seeks to dissolve raised him to power years ago,” Goemboes declared.
