Branch 76 V. also made a large donation to the fund in Pittsburgh and to the local Committee on Hun­garian Aid. Don’t let the patriots down!

TO ALL DEPARTMENTS OF STATE Main Office: 2107 ’Market Street AND ALL NEWS SERVICES The Communistic genocidal attack on the patriots of 1000-year old Hun­gary at dawn on November 4, 1956, was the most uncalled-for and most inhu­man act of violence known to man in the last hundred years. Up to this- moment approximately 100,000 Hungarians are believed dead and or wounded throughout Hungary as a result of this infamy of the Communists from the Soviet Union. What did they do .to deserve such bar­­barious treatment? Brave Hungarians — men, women and children — are fighting for their lives and their independence just as their forebearers did during their fight for freedom under Louis Kossuth in 1848. Many individuals and organizations in Europe, South America and the United States are voicing iheir indignation against the Communistic annihila­tion of the many Hungarians — men, women and children. Everyone is aroused. For this is an unholy attack such as no one anywhere in the civilized world would want to happen to him. The United States and United Nations General Assembly is doing everything in its power to force the Communists out of Hungary and other satellite nations at the earliest possible moment, under the terms decided upon by the Big Three at the Potsdam Conference in 1947. It seems that everything short of war will have to be resorted to. The Russian Communists have no legal or moral right to be there. If the Russian Communist aggressors are allowed to conlinne unchecked against the Hungarians, there will eventually be no Hungary. Is that what the Soviet L’nion is striving for? This is not a religious or political conflict; it is one of dignity for human beings. The Hungarians — now as before, in all pursuits — have earned the respect of the civilized world, and peace and hope in the future can only be theirs if they are permitted to vote for a government of their own choosing and without outside intervention or domination. They can not — and never will — give up in their fight for freedom. No, No, Never! (Nem, Nem, Soha!). Much aid will be needed to nurse the wounded back to health and to rebuild the pillaged cities of Hungary. These down-trodden people won’t have a Merry Christmas, but we can ease their many pains with donations of blood to the American Red Cross and with other material aid. Food, clothing', medical supplies and monetary contributions may be sent to László Horvath, HUNGARIAN RELIEF FUND, 2107 Market Street, Phila­delphia 3, Pennsylvania. (Phone: LOcust 8-1789) An interesting window display about Hungary may be seen at the Market Street address beginning November 12th. L. Louis Horvath 2107 Market Street Philadelphia 3, Pa.

My brother died at war today He lost his life, his love, but worst of all... He lost his heme. My God! He lost his land The very ground no longer is his own. The fields are lost where wheat was sown The town where patriots are grown. He almost threw a red star down That he might see the silver sky And breath and talk like free men should He almost said, “This land-is mine” And then they cut him down like wood. .And where was I? Why did I watch my brother die? And seeing him in pain and pride Why did I here, at home, abide? Where was my hand to man the gun That would have stayed death from his side ? What have I done! I watched them hew his country* down. His land was his, as mine is mine but If I look upon this earth as mine to tread upon Then his land also called to me It bled and died alike for me. And now the towns lay torn along the countryside And tears are shed from many eyes Because the land is lost again, but more Because I watched my brother die, I sat and watched my brother die. The darkened sky still holds his fading star And someday I shall fly to it and make it shine again “Talpra Magyar... Hi a haza” — “On foot Magyar... Your homeland calls.” Will be the cry for all my brothers; And how I hope they hear the cry And that.it doesn’t fall on leaden ears And how I hope, that if. I die I die on my land and on theirs. * :1c * The Hungarian Revolution, designed to overthrow Russian Communist oppression began eighteen days ago. November 11, 1956 FRANK HORVATH 4840 N.
