As Sir Leslie Munro of New Zealand declared: All mankind has been reminded. at a time when many had lost the capacity to believe it. that cruelty. no matter how effectively and soullessly imposed. can never prevail over men determined to wait. to fight. for the restoration of freedom. Mr. Speaker. the Hungarian people lost their fight for freedom. By the end of November the cold of winter and of oppression had once again frozen the beautiful land of Hungary. The daily tide of refugees flowing Into Austria swelled until more than 200.000 people. about 2 percent of the entire population. had left their homeland. Sickening episodes of firing on peaceful gatherings and wouldbe fugitives continued to occur. In Budapest alone this 7 weeks war was said to have rendered 40.000 families homeless and killed perhaps 25.000 Hungarian patriots.
