The many people still left in these countries do not have this blessing. There are obviously many more people who want to get out. but they are encircled by the stringent controls of the police states in their lands. These refugees have made their votes known in lands where secret ballots are unheard ofthey have voted with their feet as they took the path to freedom. Khrushchev has said that the tide of history is with him. and that the Communists will bury us. He had better watch out that the refugees from his own Communist countries do not swallow him up in the tide. or that they do not bury him under their trampling feet as they flee en masse from the harsh oppression of communism. Not only have the peoples of the captive nations made individual attempts to flee secretly. they have been brave enough to attack the police state in open rebellions. The events in East Germany in 1952. in Hungary and Poland in 1956. and in Tibet in 1959. bear witness to the extreme bravery of freedomloving peoples. and to the sadistic ruthlessness of the Communists who slaughtered them.
