the Rumanian and Hungarian nations must live in peace, with each respecting the rights of the other. The Transylvanian World Federation works with other international organizations and defenders of national and human rights in the interests of peaceful coexistence and equality of nations. To serve these principles, especially toward a peaceful and friendly coexistence between Hungarians and Rumanians, I offer with the best intentions, the services of both the Transylvanian World Federation and myself in the framework of any organization or committee on an international level.

If your Government considers this offer to be reasonable, we request that Karoiy Király, a former member of the Central Committee of the Rumanian Communist Party, be appointed as a member of the Rumanian delegation chosen by you.

Sao Paulo, April 21, 1981. Tiradentes’ Day Sincerely,

FACTS AND FIGURES

(Reprinted from the book “Documented Facts and Figures on Transylvania”, Danubian Press, 1978).

The documents of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs make it quite clear now that Transylvania, as well as part of the Banat and part of the Great Hungarian Plain were given to Rumania by the French alone, in four separate chunks, with complete disregard of the Wilsonian doctrine of self determination, and without the knowledge and approval of the Governments of the United States and Great Britain in order to buy Rumanian support against Russia.

Already on January 27, 1919, the Peace Conference in Paris had adopted President Wilson’s resolution against the use of armed force “to gain possession of territory, the rightful claim to which the Peace Conference is to be asked to determine.” (Spector: Rumania at the Paris Peace Conference, page 80.) Pastor writes in “Franco-Rumanian Intervention in Russia and the Vix Ultimatum: Background to Hungary’s Loss of Transylvania”, page 17: The Supreme Council referred Rumania’s territorial claims to a ‘Commission for the study of Territorial Questions Relating to Rumania." The eight-member panel of French, British, Italian and American experts was to examine Rumania’s claims on its four neighbors — Russia, Serbia, Bulgaria and Hungary. But the Rumanians disregarded both: Wilson’s call for peace and the new commission. They continued to advance into Hungarian territory.”

Thus, long before any decisions were made by the Peace Conference in regard of Rumania’s territorial claim in Transylvania, Rufnania with French encouragement took possession of Transylvania, the Banat and part of the Great Hungarian Plain. Occupying lands with not one Rumanian inhabitant, ivhatsoever. Thereby deceiving the Governments of the United Slates, Great Britain and Italy, motivated by its own greed and by French desire to gain Rumanian military aid against Russia.

By March 1920 all markers, street-signs, villagesigns, railroad-signs, etc. were torn down in the entire Rumanian-occupied territory and replaced by new signs in Rumanian language. Rumanian names were created for towns and villages with no Rumanian inhabitants. When the International Peace Commission came to inspect the new border-line proposed by France and Rumania, they were given the impression that not one single Hungarian inhabited the land.
