REVOLUTION OF THE ELITE

(continued írom page 2)

Hungarian nation under the cover of free abortion implemented on the orders of the Kremlin.

Fully cognizant of our responsibility to the Hungarian people we urge the governments of the still free countries to demand the solution of the Hungarian problem not by mere diplomatic means but by following the sublime principles and spirit of their obligations undertaken in the Charter of the United Nations, in the Peace Treaty and also in many solemn declarations. The aim should be not quieting their own conscience but the restoration of freedom to the Hungarian people and independence to the country. Only such an approach can bring a lasting solution in the Hungarian question. Small concessions in exchange of huge loans will but further increase the disillusionment of the Hungarian people in the West and in its institutions.

This is the demand of the Hungarian freedom fighters to the governments of the free countries on the eighth anniversary of the Revolution and Freedom Fight.

The Hungarian freedom fighters call upon Hungarians in exile to examine those who “represent them.” They must ascertain who really represent the independent Hungarian way of thinking: whose stand and actions are in harmony with the deeds and spirits of

The Diploma and the Medal was designed by Mihály Katay, Hungarian sculptor.

the heroes of the Revolution? After establishing these facts they should give their full support to those who meet the requirements of the Revolution. Some of them may have faults, may have committed mistakes but must have preserved their integrity. They should deny their support to the hawkers, to the political businessmen who trade the suffering of the nation, to those who do not serve the ideals of a free and independent Hungarian people, to those who instead of fighting acquiesce in subservience and attempt to force the will of others on the Hungarian people. After the heroic attempts of the Hungarian people at self-assertion such an attitude by politicians represents the greatest possible insult and humiliation. The Hungarian people proved their political maturity in 1956. Their will may be and should be respected especially by those who want to appear to represent them in the outside world.

It is badly needed that the independent Hungarian way of thinking, Hungarian mentality be preserved outside the country as long as the nation suffers under foreign and tyrannic rule. Only such a Hungarian spirit can lead to the restoration of freedom and independence in Hungary as a result of the ceaseless urging of the governments of the Free World to stand by their obligations and duty. And as long as no one does anything for the Hungarian people the freedom fighters must continue the fight for the preservation of the name and fame of our nation.
