    3. The Hungarians 1929 Part 2 You should not be surprised if you would learn in the near future that in Hungary had been found and developed a certain metallic alloy, from which a metal can be made, which will be lighter than water and stronger and harder than steel. This will be a great agency to revolutionize certain industries and enhance human progress. It may also make war a very dangerous business. In the U.S. the Hungarians have contributed and are contributing their share to the up building of this country. There are undisputed evidences to the effect that brave Hungarians were fighting alongside of George Washington for the independence of this country. In the American Civil War quite a number of brave Hungarian generals, officers and private soldiers were fighting to preserve the Union. Who has not read of "Col. Charles ZAGONY'S death ride," which preceded his great vitory at Springfield? Then, Col. John A. FIALA, Captain and Provost Marshal Roland T. ROMBAUER, Gen. Alexander ASBOTH, Major General Julius H. STAHEL, Col. Philip FIGEIMESSY - I have no space to name them all. A Hungarian boy fired the first canon shot of the American Army in the World War. We find the Hungarian in the laboratory, inventing and working out the process of steel refining. We find him in the labs of Thomas Edison and of Henry Ford. Wherever you go, you find the Hungarians doing a generous share in the upbuilding of this country. In the field of the education, religion and humanitarian work the Hungarians are doing their share. There are in this country 56 Hungarian Roman Catholic, 14 Greek Catholic and 166 Protestant churches, and about one thousand sick and death benefit and cultural organizations. The Reformed (Calvinist) organizations maintain an orphan and old peoples home at Ligonier, Pa. In Cleveland, there are three Hungarian Roman Catholic, two Greek Catholic, and seven Protestant churches and 102 humanitarian and cultural organizations, two symphonic orchestras. After the World War, into which Hungary was ????? against her will, the one-thousand-year-old territory of Hungary was mutilated. More than two-thirds of her territory and more than one-half of her population were taken from her. The makers of the Paris "peace" repaid Hungary in a most cruel way for all that the Hungarians had done for Western Christianity and civilization. Hungary is crippled and bleeding. The unprecedented wrong committed against Hungary is still waiting to be righted. In this connection it will be well for the reader to remember that the geographical location of Hungary today is perhaps more important than it has ever been, especially from an American standpoint. Within the near future great and vital American interests will be determined in and around Hungary. Your church bells toll today, at noon, ring out the message that five hundred years ago the Hungarians saved Christianity and Christian civilization. Tomorrow your church bells toll out to you the message that the Hungarians are fighting, bleeding and dying to determine vital American interests. May I not therefore ???????, if you please shout - with you Eljen a Magrai? Feltamads Long live the Resurrection of Hungary.
