By noon. Moscow radio announced the formation of a new "Hungarian revolutionary workers and peasants government." The American people were stirred by the events in Hungary accurately expressed in President Eisenhowers letter to the Soviet Premier: I urge in the name of humanity and in the cause of peace that the Soviet Union take action to withdraw Soviet forces from Hungary immediately and to permit the Hungarian people to enjoy and exercise the human rights and fundamental freedoms affirmed for all peoples in the United Nations Charter. Throughout the entire crisis. the United States assumed the leadership in denouncing the Soviet Unions action and rendered whatever help possible by lifting immigration barriers to accept over 20.000 Hungarian refugees. Probably the freedom fighters greatest triumph was their demonstration to the world that humanity is not forever bound and gagged by repressive Communist techniques. Thus the Hungarian freedom fighters. supported by thousands of fellow Hungarians and freedom loving people around the world revived the hope and rekindled the flame of freedom for future generations.
