The position of Count Bethlen, Hungarian Prime Minister, was shaken when Deputy Vaszonyi, Jewish democratic leader and former member of the cabinet, declared that the letter to Count Perenyi was authentic.
The letter to Count Perenyi was produced in parliament by leaders of the opposition as a proof of Count Bethlen’s knowledge of the counterfeiting plot. Deputy Vaszonyi asserts that Bethlen knew of the counterfeiting plot before he went to Geneva and he did not prevent it.
