Page 4 FIGHTS* FEBRUARY 1978 We will return the Crown to the Hungarian nation and people in a manner most fitting to its significant national, cultural, and religious character. A personal representative of the President will return the Crown in Budapest on behalf of the American people to a personal representative of the Hungarian President and a delegation of government officials, parliamentarians, leaders of a wide range of popular organizations, and prominent religious leaders of the Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish faiths. The Hungarian Government has assured us that the Crown will be promptly and permanently displayed in Budapest in a manner appropriate to the Crown's historic and national significance. Everyone - Hungarians, Americans of Hungarian and other ethnic backgrounds, and all others - will be welcome to view it. To conclude, I would like to reiterate that President Carter in making this decision has fully taken into account the particular history and status of the Crown, the expressed concerns of Hungarian-Americans, the impact of the Crown's return on the development of U.S.-Hungarian relations and the expected benefits to the foreign policy interests of the United States. We believe that the American people will take pride in the fact that we accepted the responsibility of safeguarding the Crown during the dark days of 1945, that we fulfilled our custodianship with dignity, and that we are now returning this single most treasured symbol of the Hungarian people to its proper and rightful home. P-302 11/16/77 Yet there are in the USA Hungarian voters who naively claim that perhaps our problem lies in the fact that we had not adequately supported the Democratic Party candidates as a whole, rather we climbed on the Republican bandwagon too often. Now the Democrats have a deaf ear to the Hungarian issues. These misguided Hungarians are blinded by some political mirage — for they forget that it was the Republican Eisenhower who in the desperate days of the October Revolution of 1956 put a cowardly thumb down on Hungary; that the Republican President Ford went to visit Rumania during his European trip but did not have time to stop in Budapest; that the Democratic presidents Roosevelt and Truman signed the Yalta Pacts and ratified Trianon that the Democrat Wilson saw born in 1920. Evidently, the Democratic business or the Republican business that is to say the all American political interests are not Hungarian interests! It is immaterial which American party is in the majority in the U.S. Congress when the Israeli question is at issue —the U.S. government even by mistake would not act to the disadvantage of the Jewish people at home or abroad. M. R. Oakar told us in Cleveland, Ohio last November that when the human rights of the Russian Jews were discussed on Capital Hill most senators and congressmen knew eaxactly what to do and how much to do, but when the Hungarian question was raised by her concerning the fate of the Crown and the human rights of the Hungarians in Transylvania —other than a handful of respectful senators— no one cared a damn! Today the Israelis are given the most modern weapons, aid and political support from the U.S. (as was done at the time of the 1967 war) and those weapons and aids are used daily for Jewish nationalistic and imperialistic purpose, territorial gains and foreign interventions. Can the Hungarian emigrants in America hope for preferential treatment for the Hungarian issues? Should the Magyar people in Hungary dream of a miraculous liberation provided by the U.S.A. based on past decades of experience? Have you read the January, 1978 Szabadságharcos Híradó of the California Freedomfighter Federation? Did you read in it about a few of the American representatives who were instrumental in this most recent “kick in the teeth to the Hungarian people” and about those “Hungarian brothers and sisters” who supported them . . . ? As long as these people have the upper hand and as long as the Magyars who believe in their true heritage, freedom and independence fail to reach out and arm in arm pledge to dedicate their tomorrow to the saving and defense of the Magyar Future, the Magyar Future is indeed very gloomy! In March of 1848 when the Magyars of Petőfi rose to their feet and lifted high the three color flag of the Hungarian Revolution, they knew that the people must rely on their own power. When in the mid 18 th century Széchényi established the Magyar Bank and urged for truly Hungarian business, he knew that foreigners will never serve Hungarian interests. When Kossuth stood as the head of the new Revolutionary Hungarian government in 1848 and 1849 he thought he knew who the enemy were in the West and in the East! The United States was young then and Kossuth journeyed to the West and to America hoping for a helping hand but soon he too had to learn as countless Magyars did before him and after him that the Magyars can flourish only by their own will and unity! Have we not learned a lesson?! MÉN-APÓ The Carpathian Basin is the cradle of the Hungarians PARÁZS!

CÍM: P.O.BOX 2815 CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60690________ MAGYAR MÚLTBAN — MAGYAR J0V0 A Hungarian scientist, Adorján Magyar, has declared in 1918 “We did not originate from somewhere, we always lived in the Carpathian Basin, we did not originate from somebody else, the Sumerians and Finno-Ugrians originated from us.” Fantastic as it may seem, recent archaeological findings may prove these statements to be true. In 1961 Nicholas Vlassa found some clay tablet remains in Erdély (Transylvania) with writing on it that were identical with those found in Mesopotamia, Troy, and Knossus (Crete). “Carbon 14” dating established their age to be approximately 7000 years old. On the other hand the earliest Sumer written tablets are about 5000 years old. Thus the new evidence debased the old concept of cradle of the human civilization. And presented science with a new situation to revalue the history of man, which has already influenced International science, as we see it in the following quotations. In the Reader’s Digest May 1975, an article by Ronald Schiller entitled When Did “Civilization” Begin? —stated: “The natives of Rumania may have invented a form of writing centuries before the Sumerians.” Then Schiller goes on: “The new findings have made a shambles of the traditional theory of prehistory. Although the Middle East-Aegean area is still recognized as a major cradle of the civilized arts, it no longer holds a monopoly on their invention. Indeed, in some respects civilization arrived there comparatively late. The intricate spiral carvings on the stone temples of Malta, once held to be imitations of those in Minoan palaces, are now known to be earlier indicating that if there was any diffusion of architectural ideas, it was not from east to west, but the other way around.” J. A. S. Evans, the Professor of Classics at the University of British Columbia in the study entitled Redating Prehistory in Europe, states the following (Archaeology, March, 1977, Vol. 30. No. 2.): “It now seems clear that agriculture begun earlier in Europe than had previously believed. Monumental temples were built in Malta before the pyramids in Egypt; from Romania comes what may be the earliest evidence for writing.” Then we can read the following: “If it is not yet to write new textbooks on prehistory, however, it is time to discard the old ones. Calibrated radiocarbon dating has totally altered our old view of prehistory. The cradle of civilization was not the Orient, and in fact, anyone searching for a new ‘cradle’ to replace the old one must now look with particular interest at the Balkans.” On the basis of the quotations the reader who is not familiar with ancient prehistory may derive the false conclusion that the Rumanians were the inventors of writing. Both writers only considered the present political boundary, and not the racial characteristics of the natives or ancient people of the Maros valley. International archaeology already came to the conclusion about the middle of the last century that the first civilization of mankind was founded by people of Ural-Altaic (Turanian) origin. Archeologists, even though this fact did not change in the light of more recent findings, usually just mention it, or simply ignore it, because as a rule they do not belong to the same language or racial group. The ancient civilization which developed in the Maros, Olt, and Danube valleys is called Vinka culture by them: the Hungarians know it as Körös or Erősd culture. To connect it with the ancient Hungarians is the task of the Hungarian Scholars. We cannot expect foreigners to present to us the scattered and forgotten treasures of our culture on a silver tray. In the following theory, we will attempt to present a logical and continuous picture concerning the origin and ancestral home of the Hungarians. International archaeology credit Sumer with the invention of writing. It is also accepted that the Sumerians went to Mesopotamia as civilized people. It was also known that they came from a mountainous region. From where? — they did not know or did not want to know, even though there were earlier indications toward the Carpathian Basin. For ex.: The new stone, copper, and bronze ages were preceded by more than 1000 years before the same period of other regions. The Torda pike or war hammer which shows writing, according to Dr. Toronyi, is considered 7000(?) years old, which makes the over looking of this evaluation impossible. The 7000 years seems unrealistic because it would make it old as the tablets of Erdély. However its age no doubt can be put at several thousand years. The copper and bronze objects are found in great abundance in the Carpathian Basin. As we mentioned earlier the writing from the valley of Maros is identical with Sumerians. The Sumerians developed this writing into cuniform, the Hungarians or Szeklers into runic writing. It was no accident that behind the great sumerologists, Rawlinson and Oppert, there were also Hungarian assistants. They were Jácint Rónay and Flórián Mátyás respectively. Lenormont and Sayous, too, had to learn Hungarian by which they were better able to decipher the Sumerian language. The founding letter of the Tihany Abbey was written in an Hungarian that was more akin to the ancient Sumerian than to contemporary Hungarian. Both are inflecting languages arid have similar sentence structures. Dr. Ida Bobula identified 2000 Hungarian/Sumerian names. Of 4000 sumerian words over 50% can still be found in the modem Hungarian language. Our legends preserved our Scythian origin. On the basis of their language Rawlinson called the Sumerians of Mesopotamia “Scythians.” The relations between the Hungarian and Scythian language is well known, thus it constitutes another link between Hungarian and Sumerian. It is no longer “... are the Hungarians and Sumerians related.?” but "... which is the more ancient?” All archaeological findings positively show that the Carpathian cultures along the Maros and Olt valley preceeded the Mesopotamians by 2000 years. We mentioned earlier that the Sumerians arrived as a people complete with civilization. Their writings and cultural objects are identical with the Transylvanians.' Their language is similar to contemporary Hungarian. Therefore the language of the Maros valley had to be the same. And so it seems that the above stated verify Adorján Magyar's contention! Louis F. Molnár and M. R. Oakar discussing the Holy Crown. — Did you know that the basic dance step of the American Indian resembles the Hungarian Csárdás? COLONIALISM HURTS It was reported by a spokesman of Indian Affairs recently that 42% of the Indian women in the USA were sterilized by government action and 46% of the Indians are unemployed. The average life expectancy of the American Indians is a low 45 years! The representatives of the disadvantaged North-American natives decided to turn to the United Nations and seek the help from the world body of nations in New York. The colonial power USA evidently proved to have deaf ears for the American Indian’s problems. Now the Indians seek help from outside and even plan to align themselves with the Third World Nations to gain sovereignity for the Indian natives who are hurt by the colonial status that they are forced to live under.
