Seldom does a day go by that we do not learn of the desperate actions people are taking to turn their yearning for freedom into reality. Right now. men. women. and children are streaming out of East Germany and into West Berlin. According to all reports. refugees explain that they simply could not hold out any longer. They say that there is nothing worth staying for in a land ruled and ruined by the Communists. Within the past few days reports have reached us that peasants inside Red China are being driven to the point of revolt by the oppressive and cruel measures of Communists in Peiping. Refugees are risking their lives to escape from Red China this very day. We have seen this yearning for freedom explode spontaneously into flame in Hungary in 1956. We have heard reports of similar. although smaller. expressions of the will to be free from inside the Soviet Union itself.
