HUNGARIAN CRITICISM
Received Sunday, 7 p.m. BUDAPEST, March 5. The Deputy Prime Minister, MrMaytos Rakosi, criticising the British Labour Paj'ty's attitude to the Cardinal Mindszenty trial, deciared: "A party can call itself a Socialist party uut in connection with the Mindszentj' i-ase and in the slander war against the Soviet, it plays the same game as the Cardinals of Spain who are bleeding the Spanish workdrs and the Cardinals of Petain who coliaborated with the Fascists during the war.". Attacking the Vatican's attitude to the trial, Mr. Rakosi said the Government 's efforts to reach an agreement with the Roman Catholic Chureh failed liecause "the Vatican placed its influence at the disposal of American iroperialism. " He said Cardinal Mindszenty was the "fanatical father of the plan sponsored by American imperialists to re-establish the union of Catholic countries. The Vatican had a role in the planned formation of a Danube inonarchy. The Vatican doesn't want a peace agreement but wants to light and have unrest. " He said negotiations between the Hungarian state and chureh could have ended successfully but the Vatican interfered and disapproved of further negotiations.
