It is a peril that international

Kadar. The Kadar tactics range
from friendly persuasion to
naked terror.
Many Have Firearms
A high-ranking official adj
mitted recently to this corre-
spondent that there are still
firearms "in considerable guam
tity" in the hands of the popu-
lation. Some of them are being
fused by diehard rebels.
The open strikes of factory
workers and miners, DRAMATIC
ing passive resistance against
Kadar, have largely ended. But
a subtler showdown of factory
hands and coal miners continues.
Tens Of thousands of workers
do no more work than they have
to. The economy is virtually
bankrupt.
On one front the passive re-
sistance is almost unbroken. The
three groups that prepared the
way for the October revolution
continue to snub the govern
ment's overtures and refuse to
cooperate. They. are the writ
ers. journalists and students.
And this despite the fact that
secret police have arrested lead
ers of all these groups and or
dered their organizations dis
solved.
The situation is far less clear
on the agricultural front. Peas
ants in Hungary have no organi-
cations, live scattered in small
communities, and so can't get
together in time of an open re-
volt. But this dispersal gives
them an advantage in resisting
cold terror.

The second phase brought
Russian revenge. It started Al
dawn November 4, when thu
Soviet army launched a letha
attack on Budapest. It ended
after six days and nights of wal
in the capitals streets, when all
armed resistance had beer

Then came a period of passive
resistance. This started imme.
diately after November 10 anc
was broken only around the enc

modified form, this continues
especially among the intel

Now the revolution is in It's

This fourth phase is difficult
to describe. especially for people
who have never lived under to-

gives them strength to fight on,
when even the greatest optimists
and the most naive realize that
the Hungarians must wage their
battle single-handed and can
count on nothing but sympathy
from the West?
The Hungarian people rebelled
because they could no longer
stand terror, communism, hui
initiation and exploitation. The
overwhelming majority appeared
convinced that once they took
up arms the West would come to
their aid.

Russian tanks and killed a few
thousand Russian soldiers.
They achieved som e hin 6
more. They shook to its founda-
ton the efficient terror system
international communism uses in
ruling 800 million persons. The
Hungarian freedom fighters dis
illusioned thousands of Western
communists. They opened the
eyes of many people in Asia's
'uncommitted countries" who
had been beguiled by commu-
nism's soft talk.
Revolution UncOnquered
The Hungarian armed revolu-
ton was crushed in two weeks
by nearly 5000 Russian tanks
and more than 100000 Russian
soldiers. 1t was crushed with
the modern armor of a great
power. But neither terror nor
tanks have been able to conquer
this revolution.
It keeps on, with different and
less spectacular methods, even
though hope has vanished for
active help from the outside. It
is continued by a desperate and
valiant people who were hui
inflated for almost 13 years by
German Nazis and Russian Com
munists, and the Hungarian
stooges Of both.
The revolution had three
phases between October % and,
roughly. the end of 1856.
The first was that period of
the victorious. jubilant revolu-
ton that started with peaceful
demonstrations and then roared
through the streets Of Budapest
to tear down Stains statue. IT.
reached its peak when Imre
Macy set up his coalition gov
