RUMANIANS ADMIT “Right of Intervention” In a book, published in 1971 by the Academy of the Socialist Republic of Rumania, entitled “Unification of the Rumanian National State” and widely distributed by the Rumanian Embassy within the United States, the distinguished authors have this to say concerning the Peace Treaty (page 314): “The Trianon Treaty includes some clauses which affected to some extent the independence and sovereignity of the Rumanian state; the Rumanian delegation at the Peace Conference accepted these clauses under pressure from the representatives of the Great Powers. Such was the clause providing for the protection of the national minorities from the outside . . “The protests of the Rumanian delegation against these clauses . . . were ignored by the Great Powers. Article 47 was included in the Treaty, stipulating that Rumania pledges itself to Hungary to include in a Treaty concluded with the Chief Allied and Associated Powers such provisions as these Powers may consider necessary to protect in Rumania, the interest of citizens who differ from the majority of the population in respect of race, language of religion ...” “Undoubtedly, by such provisions the Big Powers reserved theit right to interfere in Rumania's internal affairs” the authors conclude on page 314. Though the rest of this widely distributed English language publication of the Rumanian government is nothing more than blatant falsification of history, the above statements clearly prove that the Great Powers responsible for the Peace Treaties did not trust the fate of the minorities completely to the discretion of the Rumanians but reserved the right to intervene if the need should occur, by any means that seems necessary for the protection of the more than four million ethnic minorities incorporated into the Rumanian state. Since the Rumanian themselves admit that this “Right of Intervention” exists, there is no reason why it shouldn’t implemented in order to save those millions of men, women and children who are exposed today to the ruthless persecution of a sadistic government which openly advocated that it will not tolerate ethnic groups within its borders. ☆ ☆ Administration urged to warn Rumania . . . — continued from page 1 — 3. The right of an autonomous Hungarian Region under complete self-administration, as it was agreed upon in 1946, and practiced until 1960. We bring to the attention of the President and the Government of the United States that already in 1964 a report on the Transylvanian minority problem, published by the International Commission of Jurists, stated as follows: “Rumania ingnores completely the political clauses of the Peace Treaty as well as its own constitution, Article 82, which clearly provides that all nationality groups are entitled to the use of their respective languages and to have at all levels proper esteblishments of public education in which instruction is given in their mother tongue. Furthermore, that the spoken and written language used by administrative and judicial authorities in districts populated by national groups other than Rumanian must be the language of this national group.” The report concluded with the following statement: “THIS COMMISSION FOUND THAT RUMANIAN ADMINISTRATIVE MEASURES AND DISCRIMINATIONS ON ALL LEVELS OF HUMAN EXISTENCE ARE ACTUALLY LEADING TO THE FINAL GENOCIDE OF MINORITIES IN TRANSYLVANIA.” A firm stand by our government against this genocide is long overdue!
