Hungarian Propagandists Employ Marshall’s Name Without Authorization

If the name of Louis Marshall, American Jewish leader, is to be found in any of the literature issued by Hungarian organizations which advocate the revision of the Treaty of Trianon in favor of restoring to Hungary the provinces it lost after the war, it is there without Mr. Marshall’s knowledge, consent or authorization.

This statement by Mr. Marshall was made public by the New York “Day,” Yiddish daily, which published an article several days ago by Nata Schoenfeld, Hungarian Jewish journalist, relating that with the assistance of Lord Rothmere, there were organized in England and the United States and other countries, committees and organizations advocating the revision of the Treaty of Trianon, a movement directed principally against Czechoslovakia. In the United States the work is being conducted by a certain “federation” in which Yoszika Herzoeg, a baptized Hungarian Jew, takes a leading part. Mr. Yoszika-Herzoeg is said to have married the adopted daughter of Samuel Untermyer. Louis Marshall’s name is being quoted in the literature of the movement as favoring the revision.

“Tell the Jews of America and of the world,” Mr. Marshall stated to the representative of “The Day,” “that I have never given any authorization to use my name for any undertaking which supports the imperialistic ambitions of Hungary. I have during my entire life fought against such ambitions and against the anti-Semitism of Hungary. What I hear now from you concerning the way in which my name is misused is more than a surprise to me. I will take all necessary measures to see that Hungarian propagandists do not employ my name any more,” Mr. Marshall is quoted as having said.
