But there is no freedom in Hungary. and I do not propose to have America reward oppression by granting it a warm coverlet of normalcy. Let us look at todays Hungary. Let us see whether Hungary is free and normal. The Hungarian people still are governed by communistic. dictatorial power. based on a oneparty system. Hungary still is surrounded by an Iron Curtain of barbed wire. watchtowers. and mines. Last year. 111 persons lost their lives from. or were seriously injured by. exploding mines in the border zone. A law forbidding border crossings still is in force. Those who make a desperate attempt to reach the West without a governmentgranted passport are sentenced to years in prison. Freedom of religion still is limited.
