Hungary still had a government partly of Communist persuasion but it demonstrated for 13 days both its revulsion of international communism and its unquenchable desire to lead a free life under a system that respects individual rights and national independence. The Hungarian Revolution. despite the tragic losses at the hands of Communist terrorists and Soviet military power. remains a beacon of hope for the determination of man not to abdicate his dignity and freedom and not to accept tyranny and the criminal -conspiracy of the Communist ideology toward human rights and political freedom. We owe a debt of honor and respect to the brave heroes of the Hungarian Revolution. over 35.000 of whom died on the battlefields or before the Russianinstituted military courts. and over 60000 of whom were deported to the Soviet Union. This debt entails not forgetting the real nature of their enemy who is also our deadly enemy: international communism. whether it be Russian or Chinese communism. It also entails a rededication on the part of the United States and the free world to do whatever we can to further the cause of freedom for the people of Hungary and of all captive people.
