...militant Christians in Southeastern Europe are gathering strength once again to repress the Jews. The anti-Semite movement in Hungary is very marked and some ugly details of how Rumania deals with her Jews (TIME, Dec. 13) came to light when Queen Marie threw the spotlight of world interest full upon the Danube. Last week repercussions of this anti-Semite movement prompted an article in Harpers Magazine by the Austrian publicist Josef Bard.

The strong-arm squad found a large room full of tumbling, bashing, roaring, drunken men whom they described as "bummers." Tables, floor and an icebox were strewn with forms knocked unconscious by fists, feet and drinks at 20? each. Next day the police arraigned 133 Bowery derelicts, the largest number of culprits that ever appeared in the Tombs court on a single complaint. What could the judge do with them? All were sobered: They would crowd the jail. The workhouse would take them...
