CONTENTS vived without America. The cultures of the two continents are so closely interwoven that we may be justified when speaking about “Europamericans” — we claim that people living in the two continents are respectively citizens of both of them. In his analysis, Mr. Kardos shows that from Benj. Franklin, George Washington, etc., to our days, all great Americans drew their knowledge and experience from European as well as American sources. The great spiritual creations of Europe are just as important and essential for America, as the technical inventions of America for Europe. If Europe <&ased to exist, it would leave a void in the American life which never could be filled. And the same applies to Europe in the case, if there would be no more America. No matter, whether we were born in America, or came here after living for many years in Europe, we are all “Europamericans”. And so are those who have never left the old continent, or living behind the Iron Curtain are dreaming about American freedom. We should not cheat our hopes; instead, we all ought to work for making “Europamerica” a historical reality out of its spiritual potentialities. ★ ★ ★ ALBERT WASS, one of the editors of the paper, is one of the most important popular writers who came with the emigration. In this issue, the paper publishes an excerpt from his novel entitled “Thirteen Apple Trees”. The novel characterizes the struggles of a poor Transylvania peasant and his sorely trying experiences during the fluctuations of the past decade. The novel is one of the most successful pieces of literature of the Hungarian emigration. ★ ★ ★ A kiváló író első angolnyelvű amerikai könyve □ KAPHATÓ A KIADÓNÁL: P. O.
