6 TESTVÉRISÉG the free nations of the world within a true Christian democratic Federation which will be the strongest defense against totalitarian attempts of either side or form. With this belief in our hearts, we beseech the President and the Government of the United States that at the time of Europe’s reorganization — which cannot be delayed longer — and in harmony with our other Allies, the right of Hungary’s independent political and civic life be assured by the United States; at the same time make it possible for the small nations of the Dan- ubian basin to unite themselves in an economic and political Federation. 4. WE MAINTAIN, as we stated in 1941 and subsequently in every declaration issued by our past Conventions, that we, God-fearing, loyal Americans of Hungarian origin, during World War II placed our fortune, labor and blood upon the altar of our adopted country to assure her victory against the dictatorships endangering the safety of the free world. And now, that it became evident that the infernal red dictatorship took the place of the beaten fascism and nazism which equally threatens the future of every small and large nation, it is our moral obligation, because of our love for the United States, that we focus our attention to the burning and bleeding wounds of the people of our ancestry. These wounds endanger the health of the only and indivisible freedom of humanity. Mountains, oceans and fortresses do not guarantee anymore the freedom of any nation on this earth. We must seek the liberation of every captive nation in order that we ourselves might remain free. To this end, the honest labor and real sacrifice of every American Hungarian is ready, in peace and in war. So help us God! Washington, D. C., October 7, 1953. AMERICAN HUNGARIAN FEDERATION: Dr. Francis Újlaki, Chairman, Board of Directors. Daniel Szantay, Stephen E. Balogh, National President. Executive Secretary.

Having noticed that his Scottish guide usually went bareheaded in all sorts of weather, a sportsman made him a gift of a fur cap, the kind that has the heavy ear flaps for extra warmth. On his next visit to the hunting lodge in the middle of winter, he asked the guide how he liked the cap. “I have not wore it since the accident,” was the gloomy reply. “What accident?” queried his benefactor. “Jock MacLeod, offered to buy me a drink,” sighed the guide, “and I didna hear him.” A proud father had given his small daughter a splendidly equipped doll house for her birthday. On his return after a week’s absence, he asked her how she liked it. “It’s very nice, Daddy,” she said. “But where is it?” he inquired, not seeing it anywhere in the house. Came the reply: “Oh, I’ve rented it furnished to Cousin Mary for 10 cents a week.” ★ ★ ★ “These are my grandmother's ashes.” “Oh, so the poor old soul has passed on?” “No. She’s just too lazy to look for an ashtray.”
