day in behalf of the Hungarian
I comrades to which you have kindly
invited me. ! fully share with you
the indignation and resentment you
feel at the atroeious outrage with
which these Hungarian comrades
are threatened and were II possible
! should certainly attend todays
protest demonstration In this be-
half.
Hoping your meeting may be
largely attended and have all hoped
for results, am
(Signed) Eugene v. Debs.
At the meeting the following reso-
luton was adopted:
Whereas, The United States gov
eminent has seen fit to admit within
its borders Gustav Gratz, George Luz
ckacs and other representatives of
the government of Hungary to the
conferences of the interparliamentary
union, and
Whereas, These delegates repre-
sent the Horthy regime now in con-
troll of Hungary which has been re-
sponsible for the slaughter OF thou
sands of innocent workers and peas
ants since 1919, and
Whereas, The Hungarian white
terror instituted by the Horthy gov
eminent has committed most barbar-
Gus and cruel atrocities against the
workers, and
Whereas, The Horthy government
Of Hungary has arrested Matthias Ra-
kosi and one hundred other workers
whose sole crime was the protection
of the interests of the workers and
peasants of that country, and
Whereas, This attack upon the
workers and peasants OF Hungary is
but part of a worldwide reign of
terror which the capitalists of the
world are seeking to put into effect.
Therefore, Be 1t Resolved by this
mass meeting of workers of the city
Of New York that we demand that
INC AAhPi iSVneu WoIkeTS ana peasants
of Hungary be Immediately liberated,
and that the present inhuman reign
OF terror be ended.
And, be 1t further resolved that
we demand the immediate liberation
Of Rakosi and the Hungarian workers.
This meeting further demands that
the imprisoned workers of all white
terror countries--Poland, Bulgaria.
Esthonia, Germany, Italy, be liberated.
This resolution to be sent to the
state department, the Hungarian con-
sulate, the interparliamentary union
and the press"
