During Tito’s reign the Croation, Albanian, Macedonian problem was not solved and the opressed people revolted repeatedly, most recently in the Kosovo Province, which was crushed with military might. Yugoslavia is a heterogen artificially created state, which could be held together only with force. It will eventually fall apart as it did in 1941. Hungarian political leadership is non-existent in communist Yugoslavia. The Hungarian communists were creatures of the communist party, mostly young opportunists without political experience, completelev dependent on Belgrad. They never tried to represent and defend the special Hungarian interest. The Yugoslav statistics show tha half million Hungarians lived in Vojvodina before World War II. The newest statistics show only a quarter of million, which is due to intermarriages, which is the best way to assimilation. Territorial injustices are the chief longterm cause of war. Territorial robberies have seldom been corrected naturally and voluntarily. They have finally always led to a bitter war, with endless miseries of the people living in those territories. Violation of geographic and ethnic principles is not in the interest and benefit of the population concerned. Peace must be based on justice not on punishment. A boundary belongs where it belongs, regardless of who started a war or is supposed to have started. The consequence of the robbery of provinces from histor’s most terrible war, into history’s most terrifying peace is its fruit. After both World Wars not only were geogranhic principles violated by the partition of territories where Hungarians predominated, but also ethnographic principles. The right of self-determination was to become a catchword. The world has always been urged forward on the road of progress by ideals and has on the other hand always been repelled by cynism, hatred and greed, under the rule of which the evil spirits of the Treaty of Trianon and Paris (after W.W.II) was born. The Tatars and the Turks destroyed the Hungarian Nation, but not the Hungarian State. The Treaties of Trianon and Paris were the rewards of valour we received from the civilized West. It is time that we abandon the idea that the West will one day correct the injuries which were done to Hungary. It would be wiser to turn our hopes toward toward the Far-East, toward Japan and China, because these countries will have decisive voice in a coming world crisis and the consequent reshaping of the European map. This should be the goal of the political leadership of all Hungarians living abroad.
