o Sunday, December 2, 195S MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE TV7T Today and Tomorrow Ok By Walter Lippmann m s m HUNGARY THE LONGER VIEW There can be few in this coun try who have not felt how sharp is the contrast between what we have been say ing about Hun gary and what we are doing. The stark and brutal fact of s i t u a t ion is that Hungary lies wholly within the iron Red Armv. and that tlfith(tv ...... 11:. - in The AUanti, "iiV T f Pli;y that the great mass of in the Atlantic alliance have the ,h flla.. .ua means to intervene and to chal lenge the Red Army. This has left us doing Qwo things protesting and trying to arouse world opinion cji the one hand, and on the other doing something to bringcaid and com fort to the large and growing mass of refugees who are fleeing into Austria. Trfls. most of us would feel, is not nearly enough, and that besides words and chari ty the country should at least be preparing, even if it is too early to propose, a solution of the underlying problem from which these horrors and agonies arise. here they3 were still coming at the rate of 3,500 a day. m m m 1ITJAT the figures do isto raise " a fundamental question of policy. Is the Western world going to assume that the refu gees are permanent Expatriates from Hungary for whom new homes and newjobs must be found in Europe and in the New World? If so. there is a work of planning and of international cooperation to be done on a scale and of a scope beyond anything now being improvised. Or is the Western world ?o assume as the principle of its i these refukees should regard their exile as temporary, and that they can expect to go back to Hungary? If so, then the prob lem to which we must address ourselves is whether by negotia tions withcthe Soviet Union we can contribute anything substan tial to an Hungarian settlement. T?OR a broad settlement, what has been happening in Po land and in Hiftgary has demon strated. I think, two critical n . propositions The one is that in c Eastern Europe the hope of na tional freedom his behind it the masses of the people, not only the old privileged0 classes, but the workers, the peasants, and the students. This hope of na- ional freedom is Opposed by thr THE essence of the underlying problem is manifest in the plight of the refugees. Accord ing to the latest figures avail-0 power of the Red Army.o and anie, nearly 90.000 refugees have ; would prevail everywhere, as Ged across the border into Aus- j it did firsof all in Yugoslavia, tria. Before they came there j if the Red Army were with were already in Austria a small i drawn. country of about 7.000.000 in habitants 170.000 refugees from the world war. Austria docs not have the buildings to house this mass of refugees, an8 ' as a makeshift the Austrian gov ernment has closed all the schools in eastern Austria and most of them in Vienna, and it Is using all public buildings available and also railroad cars. The temperature IrP Austria is now about eight degrees above zero. o Obviously, Austria canjiot car ry the burden except on an emergency basis. Nearly 20.000 of the refugees have found at least temporary asylum in other countries, foremost among them Switzerlaffd. According to the United Nations estlmatg, it may? Soviet Union today would agree be possible to resettle putsiae of Austria some 30.000. which would include 10.000 for the United States. But this leaves a mass of 60.000 to be cared for in Austria, not taking into consideration the refugees who will be coming fi(pm now on. At the last official count available The second proposition, dem onstrated negatively in Poland and rfbsitively in Hungary, is that The Red Army will in fact Be used ruthlessly against any East European government whih threatens to'Vnove outside of the strategic orbit of the Saviet Union. o THE crucial ouestion is wheth er terms can be offered to the Sovjet Union Qrhich woujd bring about trie witfcdrawal of the Red A rmy rom Eastern Eu rope. This withdrawal would carry with it not only the reuni fication of Germany but alsoo the "flational freedom of Poland, Hungary and Czechoslovakia. we do notnow wnetner iwe to such a military withdrawal at But we should be any price. But we getting ready, it seemj to me. to find out whether there fs a price which is toloftble, at which so much can be done for the peace and freedom of Europe. Copyright 1956.
