BEA CHER Box 7, Woolsey Station Long Island City, N. Y. Entered as Second Class Matter at the Post Office at Detroit Michigan, under the Act of March 3. 1879 II An Open Letter To "The Pittsburgh Press At present, when screaming headlines about “war torn Europe” do not make the newspaper-reading public very happy, it was a great pleasure to read an excellent article in your September 5th issue, written by your esteemed Mr. William Philip Simms, which we publish below. All those good Americans who know European history and all those who cannot be misled by war mongers, were glad to note that at last we have one foreign editor who cannot be influenced and who is not willing to falsify well-known historical facts, even though not metioning same. But, the happiness of sober-minded Americans, whose ancestry has its roots in Europe, was very short-lived. The first edition of the Pittsburgh Press of September 5th contained the following article: HITLER S FEARS OF STALIN BALK ENGLISH THRUST Partner Joe’s Ambition Forces Fuehrer to Delay Blitzkrieg By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Sept. 5—Hitler’s increasing distrust of his Soviet partner, Stalin, according to well informed diplomats here, not only is behind events in Rumania, the Balkans and Central Europe, but accounts in part for the delay in attacking England. Stalin, the Red Czar, has demonstrated that he is as much of an imperialist as was any of the White Czars preceding him. »Taking advantage of his Nazi neighbor’s preoccupation in Western Europe, he has annexed three Baltic republics and part of Finland and Rumania. And he is suspected of wanting more. He is known to covet control, of the western shore of the Black Sea down to and including the Bosphorus, the dream of the whole long line of Czars before him. Patently the time to move in that general direction would be if and when Hitler attempted to invade Britain. And it is precisely to forestall any such move, some of the shrewdest diplomatists believe, that the Hungarian-Rumanian difference over Transylvania is now being hurriedly adjusted. Concentration in East I am informed that while the Nazi high command now has only approximately 600,000 troops along the French and Belgian coasts, opposite the British Isles, 1,500,000 are being kept within striking distance of Germany's eastern frontiers. The Vienna award, returning Northern Transylvania to Hungary, places excellent Hungarian troops along the crest of the Carpathians, for 1000 years the bastion against invasion from the East. x Coming as it does at this time, the move is especially significant. Should Russia try to advance still farther at the expense of Rumania and the Balkans, not only the Hungarians but the Nazis could make a counter move without a vital loss of time. Thieves Face Fallout All Rumania has now become a Nazi protectorate, a fact which both Stalin and King Carol will have to bear in mind, if Carol doesn’t jump when Hitler pulls the strings, he will have to go. And if and when Stalin moves southward again he will have to reckon with his pal in Berlin. However, this behind-the-scenes rivalry between Hitler and Stalin has borne some good fruit. It has led at last to partial justice for Hungary—a fact which, thanks to the unpopularity enjoyed by the Axis powers in this country, has passed almost unnoticed. A great hue and cry has been raised over the "partitioning” of Rumania. What actually happened was that a little more than one-third of Transylvania, torn from Hungary 20 years ago by the treaty of Trianon, has been returned to its historic and rightful owner. Hungary Owned It Transylvania was formerly a part of the Roman province of Dacia. About 272 A. D. the Roman emperor, Aurelian, withdrew his legions from that area, after which for many centuries it suffered a sort of historical blackout. When it did come to light again about the ninth or tenth century, it was already Hungarian. In 1003 King Stephen formally incorporated it in his domains. Historians say the Rumanians first came into Transylvania as shepherds, mostly employed by the Magyar masters. For a long time they formed less than 25 per cent of the population. Later on, however, they swarmed over the mountains as war refugees, and if at last they became a majority instead of a minority, it was due to the Hungarians having offered asylum to so many. But, something must have happened. All those who do not like justice and fairness and whose sole aim is to drag us into the war with false propaganda, did not, like Mr. Simm’s outspoken truth, his fairness. The usual strings were pulled and the second, third and fourth editions of the Pittsburgh Press carried only the abbreviated article of Mr. Simms, leaving out the most important part of it. The “fifth-columnists” of justice, fairness and righteousness immediately acted, sorry to say, with surprising results, because the subsequent editions of the Pittsburgh Press of September 5th, following the first, contained ONLY the following-HITLER’S FEARS OF STALIN BALK ENGLISH THRUST Partner Joe’s Ambition Forces Fuehrer to Delay Blitzkrieg By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, Sept. 5—Hitler's increasing distrust o£ his Soviet partner, Stalin, according to well-informed diplomats here, not only is behind events in Rumania, the Balkans and Central Europe, but accounts in part for the delay in attacking England. Stalin, the Red Czar, has demonstrated that he is as much of an imperialist as was any of the White Czars preceding him. Taking advantage of his Nazi neighbor’s preoccupation in Western Europe, he has annexed three Baltic republics and part of Finland and Rumania. And he is suspected of wanting more. He is known to covet control of the western shore of the Black Sea down to and Including the Bosphorus, the dream of the whole long line of Czars before him. Patently the time to move in that general direction would be if and when Hitler attempted to invade Britain. And it is precisely to forestall any such move, some of the shrewdest diplomatists believe, that the Hungarian-Rumanian difference over Transylvania is now being hurriedly adjusted. I am informed that while the Nazi high command now has only approximately 600,000 troops along the French and Belgian coasts, opposite the British Isles, 1 300,000 are being kept within striking distance of Germany’s eastern frontiers. The Vienna award, returning Northern Transylvania to Hungary, places excellent Hungarian troops along the crest of the Carpathians, for 1000 years the bastion against invasion from the East. Coming as it does at this time, the move is especially significant. Should Russia try to advance still farther at the expense of Rumania and the Balkans, not only the Hungarians hut the Nazis could make a counter move without a vital loss of time. The above facts do not need any explanation For those who do not like the truth, it was very disagreeable that the public should know, that the “carving-up of Rumania” is in reality nothing more than just rectifying a great and grave mistake committed twenty-one years ago by the Trianon Peace Treaty. Mr. Simms was straight enough to be outspoken, calling “the great hue and cry” raised over the “partitioning of Rumania” nothing more than crocodile tears, for in reality it is merely “returning a little more than one-third of Transylvania to it’s historic and rightful owner.” All those who believe in justice would like to know, why “The Pittsburgh Press” is so easily influenced by those who are falsifying historical facts and who do not desire to stop “crucifying justice.” (Continued on Fage 6) V E R H O V A V ESEMENYEK NAPTÁRA SZEPTEMBER 14, SZOMBAT. — Pittsburgh, Pa. — A 34-ik fiók nagyszabású táncmulatsága.
