SUMMARY The Editors of this Review devoted this issue to the problems of the Hungarian youth, both in Hungary and the free world. An attempt has been made to cover this field as extensively as possible. It is an editorial policy of the New Hungarian Way to publish articles which do not necessarily express the political or other views of the Editors. In the case of this issue the same practice has been followed. * * * LÁSZLÓ MÉRLAKY (Washington, D. C.) in his introductory article, “The Way of the Free Hungarian Youth”, expresses the view that young people of Hungarian origin, living in the United States or other countries of the free world, have a two-fold mission. With their rich Hungarian cultural heritage they must contribute in every way they can to the life of the new country. And they must be keen observers of the life of the new country, ready to pass on their newly acquired knowledge and experiences to the youth in Hungary when the day of their liberation arrives. Young people (or old) must not be ashamed of their Hungarian origin, rather they should be proud of the fact that the United States, for example, was made what it is today by immigrants and their descendants. It is a great challenge to follow their path and the brave should not shirk from this challenge. * * * DR. FERENC WÁGNER (Washington, D. C.) answers the question whether the Hungarian youth became communist. For lack of other evidence the author proves with publications of the Red regime in Hungary that communism has found no following among the Hungarian youth. Even the carefully bred young Stakhanovites failed to live up to the expectations of the Party and became completely disinterested and ignorant in, Marxist politics. Moscow had ten years to convert the Hungarian youth but the result is everything but gratifying to the Kremlin’s bosses. jjC J(! Sji DR. KÁLMÁN VÁMOS (Philadelphia, Pa.) writes on “An Undelivered Kállay Address”. Miklós Kállay was the last Hungarian Prime Minister before the German occupation of 1944. At noon of March 20, 1944, Kállay was to deliver a radio address which would have been broadcast to every community. The entire country was expecting that Kállay would proclaim Hungary’s armistice with the Western Allies. Unfortunately, the Germans had also learned of the rumors and on the day before the address they occupied Hungary. The Prime Minister wanted to tell the free world that Hungary had no other aim in the war than to secure her freedom and independence. He wanted to tell that if all the statements and charters on human rights are true, then the Hungarian people also should be heard when it is asking for its freedom. * * * PROF.
