Toledo Hungarian-American Weekly, 1930-11-14

the living flesh of Hungary. Michelet, the great French Histórián, marked out the Magyar as the "Hero of Europe" to whom the whole civilised World owed a debt. Michelet's thought had in view the Hungary which of old had been the "Bastion of Christanity" and by its copious L'loodshed defended Western Culture against the Turk and Tár Tártai. - tai. Tártai. The Magyars were alsó the first People in the world which in 1568, of Torda by Parliamentary Enactement passed a law, CONCERNING RELIGIONS LIBERTY. Bút it was only in pást centuries that the noble qualities of the Magyar Character had shone forth in luminous light, During the whole course, of the World-War English and American subjects were in no way hindered in their free movements. They were allowed to carry 1 on business just as before and felt that they live in a hostile State. The nobility of this treatment exceeds even that Anglo AngloSaxon - Saxon AngloSaxon characteristic which hastens to hold out a helping hand ito the conqered enemy and by magnanimity tries to cover w th oblivion the hostile feelings of the pást. Fairly has this debt been requited at Trianon. Hungary, like an Indián reservation, was opened on all sides to be tora and plundered at will by Czechs, Roumanians and Serbs. Bút these are conscious of their guilt and armed to the teeth, stand guard around dismembered and dis disarmed - armed disarmed Hungary. Three times did Hungary stand on the brink of hcpeless rnin: after the battle of Augsburg, at the in vasion of the Mon Mongolé - golé Mongolé and after the battle of Mohács. After all these catastrophes Hungary experienced a regeneration; bút this Trianon has cut the arteries of life of the country and exposed Hungary to a s'ow bút sure decay. With merciless cruelty it has dismembered a country, more thar a thousand years old, which Reclus, the excellent French Geographer, has declared to be the most perfect Geographical Unit of the World. With a brutal violence, which puts to shame the Middle Ages, it forced on us a Peace which írom a territory jjf 325,411 Q Kilometres toré off 234,297 Q Kilometres and írom a population of 20,86 000 with an utter of the Selfdeterminatory right of the peoples, placed 12,906,000 souls undci the rule of the Succession States whose Culture is deeply belov, the Culture of the Magyars. Territories of large extent, with a pure Magyar population, were thus tora away írom us, and 3,300.000 Magyars placed under foreign yoke. It has dep deprived - rived deprived the Country of its most important raw materials and in many cther respect made it wellnigh impossible fór the country to develop a healthy Economic lifo. The reformed Leauge of Nations by ceasing to be a petrifying ihat the Magyar Nation is perfectly justfied in canying on a constant peaceful ági tation fór its overthrow. The reformod Leauge of Nations by ceasing to be a petriflng League of the Paris Peace-Treaties cannot raf-'se the demand fór a just revision, of the Trianon Peace. Fór. without this re revis'on, - vis'on, revis'on, tbere cannot be permaneiit peace in Central Europe. If therc is justice in Heaven and earth, the nauie ot Trianon altér a revision, will be only a bed dream. The Magyars can never reconcile themselves to this Peace - and appeal against it to everybody írom whom it has yet disappeared all sense fór Natural Justice.

THE NATIONAL CKEEI) OF THE MAGYAR: I béliére in one God. | I believe in the Lnity of my Country, I believe in one Eternal Divine Justicc, I believe in the Hesurreclion of Hungary! ÁMEN! HUNGARY AND TRIANON. Hungary, trough its reigning Habsburg Dinasty, had been in compulsory alliance with Austria and traditional Magyar loyalty cculd leave her in the lurch at the outbreak of the World WorldWar. - War. WorldWar. Bút it is a Historical fact that the Magyars since the 15th century have been engaged in aggressive warfare well knowing that every footstep of conquered territory would be a grivous handicap in this Nationality-ridden Country. ír. the outbreak of the World-War thé Magyar Nation had the smallest share. Well authenticated documents prove, that among all the Statesmen of the time the Magyar Prime Minister Count Stephen Tisza was the only one who had made strenuous efforts to ward off the War. And when he saw that war was unavoidable - in the Common Crown Council of the Mouarchy - he stipulated and had it entered on the minutcs that the ter territory - ritory territory of Serbia, our foe, should remain as before. Yet it was just Hungary to whicli the Peace-treaty dealt the severest blow. The only erime of Hungary was that she placed implicite faith in the Armistice Treaty as preliminary to the Peace whose basis was formed by the 14 points of Wilson and whose backbone was made up by the Selfdeterminatory right of the ijeoples. In the teetb of all this Roumanians, the Serbs and the Czechs invaded the Hungárián territories and portioned out among them the tloody limbs of a disarmed Nation. A Plebiscite was allowed cnly in the case of Sopron which remained thus in the possession of Hungary. It was Trianon, which on June 4th 1920. pút the stamp to this unexampled injustice, which is the greatest In Injustice - justice Injustice in the Worlds History. The 1000 Years üld and Mutilated Hungary. Aristid. Briand, Prime Minister of Francé, declared in the French chamber that it had been found necessary to cut deep
