Introduction

Introduction
This report deals only with
a symptom, and not with the
basic problem. No matter how
well We care for the victims OF
oppression, the guilt of those
who drove them from their
homes, who killed their fellow
countrymen and who today keep
their nation in slavery must
never be forgotten.
The revolt of the courageous
people of Hungary against their
oppressorS is one of the most
significant events in the history
of mankind. Without plan or
organization, they rose up in
final revulSion against the sub
jugation and cruelty which has
been imposed upon them. What
they did and are doing was not
in vain for, by their deeds. they
sounded the death knell of inter-
national communism for all the
world to hear.
In a discussion confined as is
this report to the present plight
of the Hungarian refugees, we
recognize that we are not deal
ing with the basic question of
how freedom is to be provided
for Hungary.~ Compliance by
the USSR with the resolution
of the United Nations calling
for the removal of Soviet troops
from Hungary is the only ade-
quate and permanent solution
to that problem, and to the
problems which face the Hun
garian people. Solutions short
of this must be considered tenn
porary and basically not salts
factory.
On the basis of a firSt-hand
survey of the Hungarian refu-
gees from the time they cross
the border into Austria until
they leave the Camp Kilmer
reception center, 1 submit the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-01-02

following findings and recon-
mendations:
Number and Character
Of Refugees
Approximately $4,000 refu-
gees have crossed the border
between October %, 1856, and
January /. 1857. An average of
approximately 800 per day are
coming across the border at
this time.
The quality of the people who
fled Hungary is Of the highest
order. For the most part they
were in the forefront of the fight
for freedom and fled only when
the choice was death or de-
portation at the hands of the
foreign invaders or temporary
flight to a foreign land to await
the inevitable freedom for Hun
gary. The large majority are
young people students, tech
nicians, craftsmen and profess
Sional people. There are many
family units. including a large
number of children.
The majority of the refugees
who have been interviewed say
that they left Hungary because
of fear of liquidation or of
deportation. The number of
fioaters and of those who left
Hungary purely for economic
reasons is relatively small.
The majority of those who
have been interviewed to date
have expressed a desire to return
to Hungary in the event of a
change of government which
would make it safe for them to
do so.
The problem of checking the
security backgrounds of the ref
ugees is not as difficult as usual,
due to the fact that in addition
to the usual documentary evil
dence available in such cases,
direct evidence is being volun-
teered by other refugees who are
well informed as to the identity

Ion what we will do in fulfllinf
our traditional national mission
Iof providing a haven to refuge
for victims Of oppression. In ad.
|dition, because Of the uncer.
|tainity Of the situation within
Hungary. it is not possible fol
us to make any accurate esti.
mate of what such a fixed num-
Der should be.
For us to agree to take a per.
Icentage of all refugees is also
unrealistic. Conditions change
within the various countrie:
which might provide homes fol
refugees, and our policy should
be flexible enough to take such
changes into account.
Principles of Policy
Our policy should be based on
the following principles:
/. All free nations should
share to the extent of their capa-
bilities in the responsibility for
resettling refugees. Both
through the United Nations, and
through normal diplomatic chan
nels, the Government of the
United States should work to-
ward the realization of this OBJ

settled in countries other than

assistance was given to Austria
for the construction of housing
and other facilities to provide
for them during an adjustment
period.
This leaves a minimum OF
1000 in Austria at the present
time for whom homes must be
found in other countries.
Estimate of Eventual
Total Refugee Movement
How long the exodus OF
refugees from Hungary into Aus
tria will continue will depend
upon what happens in Hungary
If the character of the Hun
garian government were to
change so that a degree of free
dom were to be provided for the
Hungarian people, there is little
question but that the number of
refugees leaving Hungary would
be substantially reduced. a&S
there is also no question but

of spies and agents in their COM
munities.
I am convinced that II the
screening process which Is pres
entity in effect is continued the
Hungarian refugees who are adj
mitted to the United States will
present no significant risk of in
ternal surversion in this country.
Taking all the above factors
into consideration, I believe that
the countries which accept these
refugees will find that, rather
than having assumed a liability,
they have acquired a valuable
national asset. AS Mr.. Herbert
Hoover said on December 81,
1856, 1.-THE Hungarian refugees
have proved by their courage and
sacrifice that they are the ira
ditional sort of persons who make
Americans"
