Count Stephen Bethlen, former Prime Minister, told the House of Deputies today that it is the Government’s duty to take strong measures to obviate anti-Semitism in Hungary.
Cautioning against extra-legal discrimination against Jews, he asserted that all Hungarian economic and social evils were “sometimes erroneously ascribed to Jews.”
“It is not to be wondered at,” Count Bethlen said, “that the Jews with their 5,000-year-old culture should be successful in Hungary.”
