In 150.000 words. a United Nations investigatory commission has itemized the brutal suppression by Soviet Russia of the uprising by the Hungarian people against the Communist regime that had been foisted upon them from the outside. The report was compiled without any help from the Communist overlords of Hungaryindeed. over their determined opposition. But it was derived from the firsthand testimony of refugees. from a study of official documents. from a knowledge of recent Hungarian history. And it found that the uprisings in Budapest and elsewhere last October and November stemmed from the grievances of the people and their desire for liberty. rather than from the intervention of "Western imperialists." as the Communist charge. It found. too. that if the Hungarians themselves had been permitted to determine their future. the proCommunist government would have perished.
