ATTENTION VERHOVAY MEMBERS

We gladly comply with that request of the Royal Hungarian Consulate of Cleveland, received by our Editorial Department, to publish the list of names given below. This list contains the names and addresses of youths in Hungary, who desire to establish contact with the second generation of Hungarian youths in America, through the medium of English corrsepondence. This method of exchanging thoughts and opinions and securing friends overseas, can be of advantage to the younger generation as well as to those of the Old Cbuntry.

In addition to acquainting them with one another, the movement would serve to facilitate mutual understanding between Hungarians living on the two Continents.

For the youth taking part in the Verhovay Fraternal Insurance Association’s membership campaign, this would be an excellent opportunity for securing friends in the Old Country. For this reason, we warmly recommend this list of names given below, to the attention of our readers.

HUNGARY IS NOT A FASCIST STATE

Careful foreign policy of Great Britain has been the major factor In preventing: a European war during the past two years, the Countess Listowel, Hungarianborn wife of the English nobleman, told a larg-ejy attended meeting of the People’s Forum in the American Presbyterian Church.

Speaking on the subject, “Central Europe and the German Bandwagon,” the Countess, in answer to a question, said that British diplomacy also had prevented a “flare-up” arising from the Spanish situation. She did not agree that the purported weakness of British foreign policy was, perhaps, due to a fascist tendency in Great Britain itself. The European countries indeed regarded Britain as a popular Front, she said.

“Great Britain has been as impartial sis she could be, and she alone 'has been responsible for preventing a division of Europe into two hostile political groups which would have started a European conflagration,” the speaker declared.

After reviewing the rise of the Nazional-Socialistische p a r t y’s power, the Countess explained that originally the smaller states of Europe were friendly disposed towards Germany “because they fear her military strength and

need her, economically.” A reaction, however has set in because of German methods in creating a pan-German agitation in those countries which she penetrated economically.

Just as in the past, when it has risen again after wars and devastation, the new Hungary is going to stand solidly and will not allow itself to be “swallowed” by other nations, asserted Countess Judith Márffy-Listowel.

“One of the greatest mistakes anyone can make is to think that Hungary is a fascist country,” declared Lady Listowel.

The Hungarian constitution has stood for a thousand years, she said, and has never been changed; reforms have been carried out within the framework of that constitution which guaranteed the political liberties of the people only seven years later than the Magna Charta of England.

Within a few years, women of Hungary have emerged from their traditionally domestic realm into various business and professional fields in an even larger proportion, perhaps, than in America.

“Eight years ago, it was said, these things could not be done. Yet without any preliminary training, Magyar women have shown they could do them. The change has come with such rapidity that leaves one amazed. Wo=‘VerhovayJournal

men are contributing not only to the benefit of their own families, but to the country as a whole.

“The old feudal Hungary is disappearing so fast,” she said, “that soon nothing will be left of it. The new Hungary is full of enthusiasm, hard-working, entertaining modern ideas even in the American sense. New Hungary is working hard to improve social and economic conditions inside the country, is determined to make good, and to stand firmly, upholding its traditions of a thousand years of national existence.

Hungary was the only country in Europe which very bitterly opposed to the Great War, said Lady Listowel. Very few people know, although publication recently of secret documents has revealed the fact that Premier Stephen Tisza of Hungary prevented the Crown Council of Vienna for a fortnight from formulating an aggressive war policy, in the fateful summer of 1914, although every member of the council was ag&inst him. Yet at the end of the war, Tisza was murdered, because the people of Hungary thought it was his duty to block the war, in which task he failed.

Deprived of two-thirds of/ her territory, including the industrial sections, wooded regions, and the detached parts holding raw materials, Hungary hopes that some day she may have the Treaty of Trianon altered — not broken! This she wishes to accomplish through the aid of the League of Nations, but, Lady Listowel added with a smile, “the League does not seem to be in a great hurry.”

The middle class, now in power in Hungary, replacing the former aristocratic rule, “has done extremely well from what one can see,” said the Countess, who emphasized that this change had been accomplished in a completely constitutional fashion, through elections and without bloodshed.

Hungary is on friendly terms with the great powers nearest to her: Germany and Italy; but not led by them in a political sense. After having been ill-treated by the Trianon “peace” dictate, she was glad to take the hand of

“LET’S GO SNOOPIN’’ ON VERHOVAY AVENUE

I’ll start off by saying “Welcome” with a capital “W” to “The Phantom.” Write more and write often!

Here’s hoping that McKeesport’s Mardi Gras Dance turns out swell. I wish that I could attend. I’d give my version of the “Big Apple” dance.

I wonder who Jay Gee is?

Another fine columnist, I’d

say!

B o w li n g, Bowling and more BOWLING!!! Everybody’s bowlin’. We’ve started a bowling team out our way, too. You ought to see Branch President Nemeth go to town in bowling. He’s about the highest scorer among the lot.

“Pony” Vigosky and Secretary-Treasurer Andrew “Gumpy” Gombos have quite a time competing with each other to see who can run up the highest score.

By the way, where did you get the new laugh, Andy? Does “she” laugh like that? Anyhow, laugh ... I like to hear it. It sounds pleasant.

I see where our Secretary- Treasurer, Andrew Gombos is attending college now —

Mussolini, in 1916, when II Duce said something must be done for the revision of the unfair treaties.

In judging Hungary’s relations with Germany, one should never forget that whatever certain elements in Hungary feel about the present German government, responsible leaders of Hungary cannot ruin their country economically because of political likes or dislikes.

Carnegie Tech in Pitts» burgh, Pa,

One of our Verhovay boys

had a talk with me the other day. What happened to bring up the subject of places to park. He told me that he knew a swell place to park. He said it was dark there and out of town at that!! (Oh, Oh,). I won’t mention his name, but do you recall it, J. ?

What certain girl told a certain fellow, at a certain dance, that the said certain fellow was too slow? I heard her. Shame on you, A, and after he taught you and me how to dance the “Big Apple.” (She doesn’t appreciate the guy).

Well, my time is up and in closing I wish to say that I hope the dance that Branch 12 of Etna, Pa., held on October 23rd, 1937 turned out swellegantlv!

Yours, with oodles of love, love, (to who?)

“And so you say yer name is Riley? Are you, I wonder, any relation to my friend, Tim Riley, the bookmaker?”

“Very distantly,” replied the other. “Oi was me mother’s first child. Tim was her twelfth.” —
