...world knows of the Hungarian franc forging scandal (TIME, Jan. 18 et seq.), as a result of which it appeared for a time that the whole Hungarian Cabinet would be branded as the accomplices of forgers. My guide informed me that Premier Count Stephen Bethlen has been entirely whitewashed by the courts; but on the morning when I arrived the Count proceeded to make a show of his complete innocence by resigning with his cabinet. The Hungarian Regent, Admiral Horthy, thereupon paraded his confidence in Premier Bethlen by refusing to accept his resignation. My guide winked assurance that the Premier...
...feted a fortnight ago by effusively grateful Hungarians (TIME, July 5) made the retort courteous and gallant last week by returning to the Hungarian Government a cheque for $100,000 which was tendered him as his well-earned salary for two years of unremittent labor. Premier Count Stephen Bethlen of Hungary declared himself unable to find words in which to praise fitly such generosity from a man known to be far from rich.

Premier Bethlen slipped into the Parliament building by a side entrance. For two hours he held...
Regent Horthy is supposed to be pro-Albrecht and Fascist, just as Premier Count Bethlen leans toward Otto and the strict Legitimists. Late last week Albrecht decided that the Fascist jig is up, and resigned as President of the Fascist League. It is almost unthinkable that the Allies will now let an Otto putsch succeed. Presumably the kingdom will continue kingless...
