Judges OF this court Will bring the complaints of

When the house Of Hapsburg, with the aid of for
elgn army, invaded my country, and had destroyed,
BY their manifesto of the 4th of March, 1919, the
foundation upon which the union with Austria rest
ed. there renamed for Hungary no alternative than
the Declaration of In dependence which the National
Assembly UNANIMOUSLY voted on the 18th April, lsis,
and which the whole nation solemnly accepted, and
sealed With their blood.
IdeClare to you, in the most solemn manner, that
all which has taken place that may hereafter take
place, proceeding from individuals OF Government,
contrary TO this Geclaralon which Is In perfect ac-
cord with The fundamental law OF hungary, Is HE
gal and unjust
Before YOU assert that the accusation that the
Magyar was unjust to the other races-Oy means
of which portion OF the SerylanS, Wallachians,
SavonIanS and Germans dwelling IN Hungary, was
excited against usrs an lmplous SANDER. circulated
by the House OF Hapsburg. which shrinks from no
CRIME to weaken the united forces OF our army, to
conquer one race after another. and thus OrIg them
all under the yoke Of slavery.
Ii istrue. some of the races m Hungary had rea.
son to complain but these subjects of complaint
were the inevitable consequences OF the preeNlstlng
state Of things and the Austrian interference But
the CroatIans had no reason to complain. ms race
OF half million, IN separate province had Ma
tlonal Assembly of It's own, and enJoyed greater
privileges than even the HungarlanS. They contri-
buted proporuonaily but half as much IN taxes they
possessed equal rights with Hungary while the
Hungarian Protestants, on account OF their religion,
were not suffered TO own lands In Croatia. Their
grievances and ours were the same IN the perpetual
violation OF the Constitution by the imperial Gov
eminent But their own peculiar grievances arose
from the evils OF former times ana from the Austrlau
system of government. which forclbly placed the
Slavonian, Serylan and Nalachan 0oundry distrcS
on the German military footing.
The moment, however, our people became free,
and enjoyed their political rights. they became JUST
and placed all things upon "A basis OF freedom anu
perfect equality. But some OF these races, blinded
bv the Internal ISLANDERS and suggestions OF Austria,
took up arms against US. THIS people, who for CEN
tunes had endured slavery, fought against their own

In America, people OF different languages dwell
but who says that It Is unjust for senators ana repre-
sentatives to the English language ia their de-
bates, and to make II the official language OF 'he
Government ,
Ths was what the Magyar race asked IN Hungary
There was this difference only-that IN America IL
was necessaryto establish this by law for the orlg
nal settlers had stamped their language III the couh
try but IN Hungary a law was necessary 10 make
the Magyar the official language. The use Oh the
Latin tongue-a bad relic of the middle ages, winch
the clergy and aTstocracy preserved as something
precious, initiating the ancient despots, VINO CAUSED
the laws to be written IN small letters and placed on
high towers, that the people might not understand
thesr rieh.s-had been retained among US. IL was
necessary have living, spoken popular language
And what other could we have than the noble
Magyar -,
How often have L. and other leaders with me,
SAID to my countrymen that they must be strictly
ust and seek their future greatness not IN the pre-
dominance of race, but IN the perfect equalty
of all Nv counsel was adopted and made the basis
of The Government The same freedom, the same
privileges, without regard TO language or relgloh,
the free development of each race under the pro-
lection of the law, were accorded TO all We not
only guaranteed the right 10 use any language IN the
churches and schools but we afforded AID Tor the
education and development oil each nationality me
principle we announced was that either the state

In the general administration the predomlnance of

SeYylans So, also IN Transylvania there were
Magyar Seekers, and Saxons, who would complain
OF such a cor nection with Wailacha.
