Has this policy of liberation contributed to the liberation of at least one country behind the Iron Curtain? Has our Government pursued sufficient peaceful means during the revolution for freedom in Hungary? Hundreds and thousands of refugees from Hungary bring us the revelations of how the verbal hypocrisy of "liberation" was unmasked with catastrophic results for American prestige. The revolution in Poland of October 1956 relied completely and solely on the strength of the Polish people themselves and was directed toward very limited accomplishments. namely. the independence of the Polish Communist Party and of the Polish State from the Soviet Party and the Soviet State. It was actually an internal Communist revolution not directed toward the freedom of the Polish nation from communism. but only toward the freedom of the Polish communism from the influence of Soviet communism.
