The Eighth Hungarian Tribe, 1982 (9. évfolyam, 1-12. szám)
1982-04-01 / 4. szám
The Transylvanian Quarterly TRANSYLVANIA ii part of the Carpathian Baain, which ia a compact geographical, economical and cultural unit, inhabited by Hungarians since 985 A.D. After World War I, the Eastern part of Hungary, including Transylvania, the Banat, and part of the Great Hungarian Plain was given to Rumania, without the consent of the native population. Thus the thousand year old Hungarian kingdom, and the long established economical, political and cultural unit of the Carpathian Basin was broken up, causing disruption, oppression, and economic hardship. The Hungarian population of Transylvania was thrown into minority status under foreign occupation, and was forced to endure extreme discrimination and injustice. During the last sixty years of Rumanian occupation more than one million Hungarians were killed, deported or forced under pressure to leave their homeland. Today, still close to three million strong, the native Hungarians of Transylvania are subjected to large-scale cultural genocide under the barbaric dictatorship of Ceausescu’s communist regime. WE APPEAL TO THE CONSCIENCE OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE: IN THE NAME OF GOD, SAVE THE TRANSYLVANIAN HUNGARIANS! Dedicated to the oppressed peoples of Transylvania, to their right to self-determination, self-administration, and the free development of their cultural heritage. NO. 11 — APRIL, 1982 Published by the U.S. Branches of the Transylvanian World Federation and Affiliated Organizations. Editors: A. Wass de Czege and István Zolcsák Assistant Editor: Mrs. Anne Fay Atzél Washington Representative: Mrs. Ilona Boissenin Editorial Office: American Hungarian Literary Guild Rt. 1, Box 59 — Astor, Florida 32002 THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT For refusing to grant another 65 Million Dollar “LOAN” to Rumania’s Dictator Ceausescu! ANY AID to the Rumanian Government today, no matter in what form, would only sustain and uphold the most ruthless National Socialist (Nazi) regime over the peoples of a multi-national country, prolonging the sufferings of millions of deprived and downtrodden human beings. The very fact that Rumania, the richest country in natural resolurces and fertile lands in Europe, cannot feed its own people today, but amassed a debt of 110 billion dollars to the U.S.A. on which no interest has been paid for two years, clearly proves that the government of that country is embarked on a course of wantom exploitation and ideological warfare against its own people, and instead of representing the workers it is forcing them; into shackles, thereby hindering the productivity of the country it is supposed to lead. No aid of any kind given to Rumania today could help the plight of the people. It would only prolong the suffering by perpetuating the rule of the CEAUSESCU DYNASTY. Seventeen years ago members of the United States Congress spoke against the evil which raised its Hydra heads within the new borders of an over-inflated Rumanian socialist state ready to devour all its citizens who spoke another tongue and were of non-Rumanian ancestry. i
