Representing 10000 persons Of
Hungarian birth and, descent liv-
ing in the Youngstown district the
Grand Committee of the United
Hungarian Churches and Societies OF
Youngstown and vicinity hereby en-
ters solemn protest against the cruel,
inhuman and illegal expulsion of
thousands of persons of Hungarian
origin by the government of Yugo-
slavia.
This expulsion is just as illegal,
inhuman and cruel as would be
the deportation of all Indians by the
United States government
The Indians lived in this country
before the white race settled here.
The Hungarians in what is now
Yugoslavia lived there before it be-
came part of Yugoslavia.
The shameful treaty of Trianon
dictated by imperialistic France to
create the so-called Little Entents
Which the forefathers of those ex-
PEELED lived for centuries. Literally
gave to, Yugoslavia the land OH
over night about Is years ago the
allegiance of those now deported
was changed from Hungarian to
Yugoslav
"No Right to Territory"
Serbia had no chronological, no
historical. no geographical and no
economical right to the part of
Hungary situated between the
Danube and the River Theis True,
some Serbians lived there, descend
ants of those given refuge when
the Turks chased them out of
their native hills and mountains south
of the Danube. Hundreds Of thous-
ands of Hungarians shed their blood
to protect their neighbors against the
Turkish yoke. Il
In the truest meaning of the
word, the Hungarans expelled by
might were actually chased from
their homes, the heritage of cen
tnries.
YugOslavia, in coImOn with CZe-
choslovakia and Rormania, has never
observed the treaty clauses provid-
ing protection for the minorities. The
deportation is but one instance of
the cruel oppression these unfortun-
ates have been subjected to-
1t seems to us that the deporta-
tion of these unfortunates. coming
at he same time when Yugoslavia
accused Hungary with completely in
the death of King Alexander, was
done with the sole purpose to goad
the remnants of dismembered Hun
gary to grasp the scanty weapons
left them by the peace treaty and to
commit suicide against the iron walls
of the encircling Little Entente.
Blame Serb PIotters
We have but to. recall. that the
World War was started by the Kill
ling. of the Archduke Francis Fer
dinand and his wife by Serb nam
ed Princip and a band of conspir-
ators which included Serbian army
officers and which had the protec-
ton Of the Serbian government.
Just recently Serbia erected a
monument to Princip and gave a.
large sum as pension to his mother.
That was the reward of murder by
Serbia, while the world is still try
Of the World War.
History proves that the father and
grandfather of King Alexander enjoy
ed the hospitality and safe refuge
in Hungary while another dynasty
ruled Serbia. They ascended the
throne through murder, but nobody
accused Hungary of it. On the other
hand, history also shows that in the
1000 years of Hungarian history no
ruler was killed, while in Serbia
assassins.
Sympathy for Croats
We sympathize with the cour-
ageOus Creation nation struggling
against the despotism and oppres-
sion of Serbia. We recall that sew
eral Creation members of the Yugo-
slav parliament were killed during
session of that body at Belgrade
not SO many years ago. The killers
received a perfuhctory trial from the
Yugoslav government. They are alive
today and the League of Nations has
not heard anything about it.
The Creations, just as the Hun
garians, are liberty-loving high
ly cultured race, living as good
ueiahhOrs for more than 1000 years.
