years ago, St. Stephen, King of
Hungary, received his crown
from Pope Sylvester II. He real-
ized that Hungary was destined
by the very exigencies of geog-
raphy to be the crossroads of
Europe where diverse racial
stocks would necessarily meet.
St. Stephen pledged himself and
his people to live as common
children of a loving mother
country.
"This same saintly national
hero dreamed always of Hungary
as a 'Regnun Marianum,' as a
realm of Mary. To this day, the
coinage and the postage stamps
of the country bear the figure
of Mary, the Mother of Mankind.
It would be all the more tragic,
therefore, if a people so devoted
to Mary, the Jewish maiden who
was the mother of the Messiah,
should freely countenance cruel
laws calculated to despoil and
annihilate the race from which
Jesus and Mary sprang.
