SUMMARY DR. FERENC WAGNER of Washington, D. C., writes on “The Questions of the Soviet Philosophy in Hungary”. The Soviet philosophy, if it may be called so, has its roots in the October Revolution. The dictatorship of the Communists, or for that matter any dictatorship, liquidates all the cultural trends that are not likely to conform. This happened in Hungary, too. The Hungarian philosophers have been subjected to severe criticism for their non-conformist behavior. The Communists claim that there is a cultural revolution, but the author is rather inclined to conclude that the system faces an intellectual suicide. “ ★ ★ ★ MIKLÓS KIRÁLY of Germany presents a vivid report on the life of Berlin, the easternmost outpost of democracy in the red ocean. ★ ★ ★ JÓZSEF CSEGEZY of Cleveland, Ohio, contributes a well prepared and interesting study on “The Preparation of World War III”. From political, economic and strategical points of view the author analyzes the positions of the Soviet and the Western allies, and finds that America cannot fight a defensive war without an aggressor on its shores. Therefore, it is destined for offensive warfare. On the other hand, Russia is unable to conduct offensive war but very well suited for defense. The final outcome is hard to predict, but it is certain that time works for the Soviets. ★ ★ ★ PROFESSOR JÓZSEF REMÉNYI of Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, publishes in this issue an essay on Mór Jókai, the great Hungarian novelist. Jókai died A kiváló író első angolnyelvű amerikai könyve □ KAPHATÓ A KIADÓNÁL: P. O. BOX 5629 PITTSBURGH 7, Pa. $1.— RENDELJE MEG ÖN IS! 50 years ago.
