Već se dugo osjećala kod nas potreba jedne solidne Enciklopedije ili djela, koje bi dalo pregled svega ljudskog znanja i umijeća. Činjenica, da se ovo djelo pokreće u doba najteže krize u povijesti svijeta, znak je životne sposobnosti hrvatskog naroda i njegove težnje za napretkom. Ja se ovom djelu od srca radujem i želim mu najbolji uspjeh. A to će biti onda, ako bude zastupalo istinu. Istina naime spašava čovjeka, jer Bog je istina! U Zagrebu dne 1. veljače 1940 Dr. Alojzije Stepinac nadbiskup zagrebački |
