“ From the outbreak of the war until today we carried on a sharp fight and employed all means; victims slain for democracy and peace are numberless; prisons are crowded with workingmen, endless political processes have taken place and heavy prison terms were inflicted on men whose only offense was that they argued for peace through understanding and the rights of workingmen.
Fully determined for any sacrifices we intend to keep up the fight for a new Hungary which will be founded on social liberation of the working classes and the right of nations to self-determination. ”

“ In these historical days, when the whole world is being made over, when old Germany under the compelling force of circumstances admits the supremacy of the parliament and the nations of Austria are transforming their old state upon the principle of self-determination and equality into independent and democratic states, Hungary still remains the private estate of a few oligarchs who are far worse and far more reactionary than the Prussian Junkers. ”

“ It would be an intolerable thought, if after so many sacrifices and the misery of the long years of war the working classes and the nationalities of Hungary should alone remain in the old slavery. Such a condition would be the more shameful, because the people of this country have left nothing undone to free themselves from slave fetters. ”
