The courageous uprisings in Hungary. Poland. and East Germany vividly evidenced great internal unrest within the Soviet Empire. Each refugee is dramatic living proof of growing dissatisfaction with totalitarian puppet regimes thinly disguised as "peoples republics." It is significant that this last weekend a record flow of over 4.000 refugees sought freedom from such tyranny in West Berlin. In reaffirming that these existing Communist satellite regimes do not legitimately represent them. we offer some hope to these captive peoples. Unfortunately. in the past. we have not always acted in accordance with our expressions of support for their struggle for freedom.
