NEW HUNGARIAN WAY passed away. Mr. Kardoss was an outstanding personality of the Hungarian stage. For a long time he was a member of a Budapest theater, and later became the director of theaters at Debrecen and Kecskemét. In his last years in Hungary, Mr. Kardoss was a member of the Hungarian National Theater of Budapest. * * * DR. TAMÁS BOGYAY (Munich, Germany) is a historian. His essay on “The Horse Nomads of the Early Middle Ages in the Danube Basin” was first presented in lecture form to a meeting of the Southeast-European Society at Herrenchiemsee, Germany. It presents the results of the latest research into the history of the Huns, Avars and the Hungarians who were the earliest inhabitants of the Danube basin. * * * ANDRÁS MARTON (Washington, D. C.) analyzes the United States as “The New Leading World Power.” The author finds that the great power of the United States is not due primarily to her military strength. Rather, it is based on those elements which make up the military strength itself. These áré: geographical conditions, the natural resources, the industry, and, last but not least, the population. Although the people of the United States do not give a homogen impression, when it becomes necessary, they can and do act in the greatest unity. This unity can withstand every danger, even the one of communism. • * * * PROF. MIHÁLY FERDINANDY’S “The Hungarian Observer” is being continued in its fourth installment in this issue. It is an autobiography and an interesting experiment in a new method of history writing. * * * THE WORLD FORUM (by András Marton) surveys the current world situation, with special attention to the aftermath of the Geneva Conference. The so-called “spirit of Geneva” has brought some results, but the many trouble spots of the world, from Gaza to Latin America, do not bring the prospect of a lasting peace very near. * * * Our literary selection features a short story by ERZSÉBET KISJÓKAI, and poems by ANDOR KOZMA, PÁL GÖNCZY and WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS, translated by MÁRTA HARSÁNY!. — 410 —
