Break in Diplomatic Ties Urged
But Stote Department Is Cool to Lawmakers Suggestions
Thot Y. S. Withdrew the Legation From Budapest
Constontine. Brown:

The State Department is be-
ing urged by the few members
of Congress now in Washington
to break of diplomatic relations
with Hungary after the ransom
for the four American airmen
who have been sentenced to a
$4,000 fine each has been paid.
Democratic and Republican leg
islators seem to be Of one mind
in this matter: That we recall
our diplomatic missions from
Hungary and pack up the So
called Hungarian diplomats in
the United States and return
them to their native land.
For the time being, and prob
ably until Congress reconvenes
on January 8. the State Depart
ment is lukewarm to suggestions
for diplomatic break. 1t main
tains that since the American
flyers were captured on Hun
garian soil. the word kidnapping
In its strict legal meaning could
not be applied to the Hungarian
government. And most of the
policy makers in the State De-
partment still feel it would be
highly detrimental to our in
tereSts to withdraw the legation
from Budapest.
The past position of the
State Department-that we
should not break off diplomatic
relations with the U. S. S. r.
or its satellites because we do
not approve Of their form Of
government or because Of their
unethical handling of interna-
tional affairs-is correct. Hun
gary. however, has put itself in
a special category.
A Soviet fighter plane forced
down an unarmed American
plane with four American
commissioned and noncommis-
stoned officers. A hunt for the
missing plane took place for 10
days in the Italian and Swiss
mountains and In Yugoslavia.
Although the Hungarian gov
ernment knew that these four
Americans, identified as mem
bers Of the Air Force, were in
their hands, they did not have
the common decency to inform
our legation in Budapest of the
fact.
Then suddenly after the flyers
were given up for lost we were
informed that they had been
captured and accused Of sabo-
tage and espionage. After a
quick court-martial the men
were sentenced to an aggregate
100000 fine or three months in
jail. The newly arrived Ameri-
can Minister, Christian Ravndal,
was told to come across with the
cash.
1t is not clear whether the
Hungarians are demanding gold,
American currency or a certified
check. In any event, the mas
ters OF the Hungarian people
have acted no better than some
OF our own criminals who snatch
victim and demand ransom.
The only difference is that the
Hungarian government has not

Now the same gang demands

The money will have to be
paid. But to safeguard the last

It should be obvious that re-

the maintenance of a diplomatic
mission in Hungary, the present
puppet government does not de-
serve to have formal intercourse
with a civilized nation. In the
past we have broken relations
with criminal" governments
although Americans were not
involved. We withdrew our
minister from Belgrade at the
turn Of the century when a
palace junta murdered King
Alexander Obrenovitch and
Queen Draga in cold blood. In
1946 we even withdrew our am
bassador from Madrid merely
because the majority of the
United Nations did not approve
Of Gen. Frances domestic
policies.

may gain by keeping full dip

nebulous matter. We know that
the American Minister and his
personnel are treated as unwel-

nationals or with any other for
eigners in the country. A mere
call by person unauthorized

We have already withdrawn our
diplomats from Bulgaria and it
is certain we have lost nothing

Christmas Card From Moscow
American Diplomat Wrtes The Only Way We Con Have Peace
Is to Win the Hearts and Minds of Russian People
Dovid Low1ence:

II you were living in Moscow
on Christmas Day and had been
observing for some time the atti-
tude Of the Soviet government
and the Russian people, what
would your thoughts be and
what advice would you pass on
to your American friends?
A diplomat In Moscow sent
to a personal friend in the
United States a Christmas card
with a note on it that reflects
his observations on the passing
scene. For reasons of discretion,
the nationality of the diplomat
cannot be divulged. His note
reads as follows:
Merry Christmas from merry
Moscow.
Last night saw a per-
formance of Tolstoy's 'Resur-
rection' at the Moscow Art The
ater, and walking home past
the Kremlin walls and the
Church of Basil. the Blest,
through the snow and crowds
OF silent, Surly people, I de-
cided to reread the novel.
There on the title page was
Tolstoy's inscription from Mat
thew: Then came Peter to Him,
and said. Lord, how oft shall
my brother sin against me, and
! forgive him? Till seven times?
Jesus saith unto him, I say not
unto thee, until seven times;
but, until seventy times seven
And so, in spite of the in
credible atmosphere Of one
man-made hatred in which I
live here Cor maybe because of
it,, that perhaps is what I
should say this Christmas.
"Of one thing, indeed, I am
sure: The only way we can

win in the battle against the
Russians right now and in the
end. is to make your country
and ourselves (and particularly
me) better, purer. truer."
This brief message contains
a world of meaning. For bas-
ically the problem today is not
to bring on more bloodshed If
1t can be avoided. because that
would avail little in the long
run. but to find a way to prove
to 100000, 900 people in Russia
that they can be masters of
their own destiny. For the
atom bomb by itself is harm
less. It's the hand that can
throw the atom bomb which
has to be guided. so as to allow
restraint and the structures Of
a real conscience to govern the
behavior Of that hand.
Unless the minds Of the
Russian people can be won,
there cannot be peace. But to
win those minds, the United
States and its Allies cannot ex-
pect mere broadcasts OF boasts
and pride. tales of American
armed superiority and theo-
retical plans to bomb Russian
cities to be the theme of the
voice of America. The Russian
mind can be won only If 1t per-
ceives that the American mind
is truly unselflsh and actually
devoid Of the impurities which
beset a prosperous and power
full nation.
The true voice Of America is
a voice of truth and decency. It
