INHUMAN NATIONALISM
BUDAPEST, September- 23.,.
The inhumanity of a Yugo-Slavia; frontier guard, who shot a Hungada peasant lad, Joseph tfakopanez, an> then left him to die a dreadful, linger ing death on a river bank, reveals th alarming intensity of European nation aliara.
The frontier guard fired at am wounded t'he lad, who was caught i a current while swimming and drifte* to the Yuko-Slavian bank. The la> managed to scrambl e on to Yugt Slavian soil, and the guard rough!' bound his wounds and left him ii agony. His screams were heard oi the Hungarian side of the river. His parents and a doctor tried t< cross, whereupon the frontier guar< threatened to fire. The moans of the boy, which wew heard for the two following days, wer only stopped by his death. Even thej the Yngo-Slavians left the dead b°d on the river bank for hours.
Hungarian authorities are checkin the possibility of reprisals by the out raged villagers.
