Dear Mr. Chomos: Thank you for reprinting “The New Hungarian Majority” article from Patria. It was a source of great pride for me to find my article in The Eighth Tribe. Best of luck to you in continuing to publish The Eighth Tribe, one of the finest products of Hungarian-American journalism. Very truly yours, Dennis Frigyes • • • To the Editors and workers of the Eighth Tribe: Gentlemen: Your April Issue of the Eighth Tribe did touch my heart. I mean the story by Zoltán Vass: The Homecoming of Kossuth. I remember the day! I don’t remember anything that could compare with it. People by the thousands stood still, no fist shaking, no yelling. I was only 11 years old, but I could feel that this must be the most saddest day in history. But our children should know more about the revolution; there are questions that need answers. I will mention three. One—Why did not Kossuth remove Görgey from his command? When he well knew that Görgey was in secret communication with Austria working for a compromise. Two—When the war was still going well and the Romanians wanted equality, it was not forth-coming. Three—The peasants expected land they did not get: was Kossuth afraid to hurt the big land-owners, afraid he would lose some of his power? Or did he just want separation from Austria? Who knows? Historians perhaps have put together some of the pieces, and the Eighth Tribe is the instrument to let our children and grandchildren know. We old-timers also can use a little refreshing, or we get stale! Also, the Kossuth Prayer is a historical document. There are a number of Hungarian ministers who are also perfect in English; one of them should translate it, so our children could also feel the emotion Kossuth put into it. The translation must be precise, nothing added, nothing taken away. John Fay----------- ----------------------------------+ The EIGHTH TRIBE June, 1976 P. O.
