16 Hírünk a Világban OUR REPUTATION IN THE WORLD In his article „The Reputation of Our Revolution“, Sándor Kiss, head of the Hungarian Peasant Federation both after World War II and during the 1956 Revolution, and Secretary General of the National Representation of Free Hungary, refutes the slanders employed against the Hungarian Revolution. One of the main accusa.ions is that it was a counter-revolution; another one that it represented a „politically imprudent“ act compared to Kézzel készü't és festett, ebédlői disztányérok, csobolyok, kulacsok, butéliák a magyar népművészet eredeti motívumainak felhasználásával lakásánák magyar hangulatát fejezi ki.

Speaking of the latter, Sándor Kiss writes as follows: „It was not mere chance that two nations of the greatest historical past in that area, i. e. the Poles and the Hungarians, rose first against Soviet oppression. And only external circumstances decided that in 1956 the Hungarians followed the English Summary road of a revolution, while the Poles that of an evolution. „In Poland, the Soviet army was too late. The 16 Russian divisions marched towards Warsaw, when all roads to the Polish capital were already occupied by the Polish army, ready to fight them. Because of this, the Soviets took precautionary measures in Hungary. Nevertheless, if the West had exhausted all peaceful possibilities granted by the U. N. Charter after the victory of the revolutionaries, Hungary would be free and independent today. Then, the Hungarian way would have become the proper example.“ August J. Molnár, president of the American Hungarian Studies Foundation and chairman of the Elmhurst College Department of Hungarian Studies, reviews the activities of both institutions. Professor Lamont, Rutgers University, publishes the following announcement: „A cross-section of Hungarian critical opinion (both in Europe and in America) has led me to think that the following twelve novels are the best that have been written by Hungarians during the years 1940 to 1956. So far as I know, not a single one of these books has ever been translated into English. „Therefore, my query to the readers of this paper is as follows : Which novels, in your opinion, should be the first to be translated into English?“ (See list on p. 3) Christian M. Ravndal, American Ambassador to Ecuador and former envoy to Hungary, held a lecture in Quito, before a big audience, including members of the Ecuadorian cabinet and the diplomatic corps. The title of his lecture was, „Hungary, the country of heroes“. Of the eight scientists, invited from the United States to Japan to the „International Symposium on Muscular Contraction“ to be held in October 1957, five are Hungarians, among them Nobel prize winner Albert Szent-Györgyi. Ödön Gáspár reviews Sumner Welles’ book „An Intelligent American’s Guide to the Peace“. Hírünk a Világban Editor: Csicsery-Rónay I. szerkesztő P. 0. Box 1005 Washington, 13, D. C., U. S. A.
