Count Michael Karolyi, first President of Hungary, who is to speak at the Ford Hall Forum tomorrow evening, at 7 o'clock, on "Fascismo--The Menace to World Peace" has, after a four-year period of exclusion, at last been given permission to enter America as an ordinary European visitor with a six months' visa.
