Unanimous opposition to the pro-

necessary, and Cyrus E. Cook, citing
the example of the first Rent Com

Hungary Says Soviet
Is Not Aware Of All
Facts on YugosIavia
Attributes Invasion to
Non-Co-operotion With
Germany and Italy
Bs the Associated Press.

Bs the Associated Press.
BUDAPEST, Hungary, April Is
The official Hungarian news agency
declared today that Hungary tool
military action against Yugoslavia
because the new Yugoslav govern.
ment broke away from political CO.
operation with Germany and Italy
The authorized statement added
that Moscow's criticism of the &C.
ton indicated Soviet Russia appar.
emily was not aware of all the
facts.
The statement fatty linked the
Hungarian action in sending force:
into Northeastern Yugoslavia with
its program of axis cooperation.
Soviet Statement Published.
At the same time, the Soviet
statement last week criticizing the
action was published in Hungary fol
the first time.
(Andrei Y. Vishinsky, Soviet
vice commissar of foreign affairs,
told Hungarian Minister Joseph
Kristoffy: "A particularly bad
impression is produced upon the
Soviet government by the fact
that Hungary commenced war
against Yugoslavia but four
months after she concluded with
the latter pact OF eternal
friendship. 1t is not difficult to
realize what would be the posi-
ton of Hungary should she her
self get into trouble and be torn
tn bits. since it is known that
there are national minorities IN
Hungary, too.~
The official news agency carried
this text of the Hungarian state
ment:
THE declaration by Moscow shows
the situation and facts were not
exactly known in Moscow. The new
Yugoslav government in a provoca-
tive manner put aside a political
system based on friendly co-opera-
ton with Germany and Italy.
The Hungarian-Yugos friendship
treaty fitted into this system.
The new Yugoslav government
made a series of air attacks against
Hungarian territory and ordered its
army to try to cross the Hungarian
frontier.
These air attacks killed many
Hungarians and destroyed valuable
property and with these acts the
Yugoslav government annlhilated
our friendship.
When on April 10 an independent
Croatia was proclaimed and the
Yugoslav state ceased to exist, it
then was the elemental duty OF
the Hungarian government to ac-
ouire Southern Hungarian terrific
ries which were lost after the first
World War and to defend the great
masses of Hungarians living there.
Nevertheless, Hungary declared
again she had no quarrel with the
Serb people"

 Lud nodded. "Were going to, Paula. What you say checks with what we already know. A bunch of the fraternity boys have de- cided to break up the League meeting. Jenks knows where the meeting Is and he's been urging them on, Tony and are going to try to stop them"
 He got to his feet, said crisply, Come on, Tony, we'd better get started"

Lincoln "Despised
And Rejecfed?"

Perhaps no President of tbs United;
States has been so vilified as Abraham
Lincoln. He was publicly charged with
being weak and inefficient, perjurer
and thief wasting the publics money.
disregarding the constitution, and being
I dictator, q political spokesman, and in
competent to be president.
No man guilty Of the charges made
against him could have given expression
to the noble sentiments credited TO him,
sometimes in spite Of the attacks OF pow
erful opponents. Many Of these esprts-e
sons have become ula ssic 2nd tie today
counted worthy Of having an honored
place among the worlds greatest dscla-
rations
1t is we'll as we again celebrate Lin
coins birthday that we should be remind
ed Of some Of these famous afYirmatlons.
Who can forget the address that he
gave at Gettysburg in which he said that
this nation, under God, shall have new
birth of freedom, and that government
Of the people, by the people, for the
people, shall not perish from the earth!"
In his second inaugural address he
plead for malice toward none, with
charity for all, with tirmness in the
right"
Speaking about the trainers of the
Constitution he said: They did not de-
clare all men equal in ali respects. They
did not mean to say that all were equal
in color, size, intellect, moral develop
ment, or social capacity. They defined
with tolerable distinctness in what re-
spects they did consider all men created
equal--equal with certain inalienable
rights, among which are life, liberty, and
the pursuit of happiness
In debate with Stephen Douglas, Lin
coin once said: mo man Is good enough
to govern another man without that 9TH
er's consent"
Speaking at Springfield, Lincoln said:
This government cannot endure per-
manently half slave and half free"
History has proved that Lincoln was
one of the greatest Presidents that our
country has had in all of its history and
he is now honored not only by all Ameri-
cans, regardless of their political convic-
tions, but by people overseas who have
come to know about the great service he
rendered for the people of the United
States, particularly those who were op-
pressed or afflicted.
