They forced the U. N. to talk about Hungary and to pass resolutions. however inadequate. But when the Hungarians could no longer make those headlines. when the frontiers were finally closed to refugees. and the blanket of silence was clamped down again by the weight of 20 Soviet divisions. a similar silence about Hungary prevailed in the United Nations. The United States delegation has shared in that silence. Meanwhile the U. N. dealt sternly with Israel. threatening drastic sanctions because Israel delayed the evacuation of a few square miles of desert in the Gaza Strip and the Gulf of Aqaba. Contrast this offense with Soviet armed intervention in Hungary. which has overthrown the legal government. kidnaped the Prime Minister. set up a puppet regime and maintained this regime in power by mass arrests. mass deportations. and mass executionscarried out under the guns of Soviet tanks. and in defiance of no less than 10 resolutions of the U. N. General Assembly.
