1930 / 7. szám - The Question of Revision

24 HUNGARIA LLOYD December 1930 way of satisfying public opinion other than by making the Central European question the subject of careful study and attention. We must, however, not believe that a revision can be put into effect otherwise then by giving better and safer guarantees for future peace in place of those which are proved to be no longer tenable. These guarantees can take no other form than the restoration of peaceful cohabitation of the peoples formerly united in thousand-year-old Hungary, and on the Hungarian part, a revival of the spirit of Count Stephen Széchenyi, who embraced all the peoples of the Hungarian Slate whether Magyars or no, with the same affection and an endeavour to strengthen those political ideals of the Hungarian past which are calculated to promote the confederation of the Danube Nations. Smile By Mrs. vitéz Vázsony Sándorné, Florence AysMord-Wood A fortune would I lay at thy feel. Could I but a boony smile meet. Greeting in the crowded streets I see Old and young, yet no smile for me. Smiling faces, fortune shouts Treasure's secret without doubt. So where, oh where can I meet thee With a fortune then would I greet thee I search the gaily lighted bars, The snow-decked hills with skis and cars. The bus. the tram, the racing course. Alas', the skeletons there, of course. Oh, desparate heart, oh weary soul. Another trial give. The nursery door, it stands ajar, You'll sec the children not afar. Two bonny children did I spy, Surounded by their toys. Yet hand in hand deep thoughts theft sighed, I read your secret bogs, I cried. J heard them say, „A Smile", What's that Daddy never told us. Mammy too. We'll wait fill Xmas then we'll cheer, Perhaps it'll wipe away their tear. Oh Tear! sad tear, if thee I seek I'll wander to the graves where loved ones sleep. Alas! I shudder when I say, T'was really there on All Saint's Day. There as the drizzling rain fell on his brow, A lonley figure smiled his dynig vow, A marvellous smile crossed his haggard face. Then a shameful end, lie smiled, smiled and facet (Death 1 shuddered, I trembled, shouted and fled, It's not that smile, I meant. A fortune would I lay at thy feet, Could I but a bonny smile meet. A fortune, friends, it's a treasure, friends. Do you not hear my call. ' It crowns your heads. It decks your youth. Oh Smile, smile a bonny smile. For I am longing to meet lin e, lime I should love to greet thee. Yes! To-day, to-morrow and for evermore. Lei a bonny smile enter one another's door. The Echo In vain one calls in vain one seeks, A bonny smile in Hungary to greet. Till the mourning veil is lifted from aur head. Till a Resurrection and divine Justice Revives our laud, ice are as dead. Foreign Political Questions of the Day Interview with Mr. Ward Price who represented Lord Rothermere and the Daily Mail at the unveiling of Jenő Rákosi's statue In the last few months much brisk activity was to be observed in the foreign policy of the states of Eastern Europe. In your opinion is the cause of that activity to be sought for in the general economic world crisis, or is there some other, perhaps political reason for it? In my judgement, the increased activity in foreign politics of these states is due to the conviction which is steadily penetrating the minds of all European statesmen that the reasonable revision of the territorial clauses of the Treaty of Trianon cannot now be long delayed. Lord Rothermere's propaganda has created a great consensus of public opinion to the effect that no permanent stability can be expected in Central and Eastern Europe until the flagrant violation of racial rights due to the separa tion of so many Magyars from their motherland has been repaired, and the energy which Hungary's neighbours are devoting to the consideration of their international relations may be ascribed to their desire to secure the most favourable posture possible when the moment of revision at length arrives. Soviet Russia has entered upon the 13-th year of its existence. As is well-known, in the first years of that period Russia's efforts were confined mainly to political propaganda work. Since a year however an economic offensive has begun to break through the customs frontiers of the European states. What is your opinion, abouth the possibility of that economic offensive being followed by a political one? I cannot believe that the Red Army is capable of a military offensive outside the borders of Russia. The only condition under which this might be possible would be that some more capable European nation should betray the cause of humanity and civilisation by acting as an ally of the Bolsheviks. It
