The government of the national front which had communized Czechoslovakia from within was established only by Communists and the socalled liberals. The nonliberal. conservative Czechs were excluded from it. because they were antiCommunists. For the same reason. the Sudeten Germans and Hungarians were expelled. The VolgaGermans. the Baltic nations and all those other nations which have been expelled and deported in recent history by the Soviets. were deported because they were hard antiCommunists. not because they were liberal. Had the Sudeten Germans been liberal in Ripkas sense of the word. they would not have been expelled. They would have become members of the government like Ripka himself.
