Though they polled only 17 per cent of the total vote. they have managed, Wfl,h{ Russian backing, to dominate the coalition Government to which they were admitted and to get control of the police, both civil and military, which is their | first objective in every country and their prln('lpul;’ instrument for liquidating any opposition. With that | weapon 1n their hands, they first proceeded to “purge” | the Small Holders party, which had swept the coun- | try in the national election. Now they have gone over | to arresting all potential opposition leaders in the Army, the Government and the majority party The arrests are justified by charges which are all too familiar from Yugoslavia, Bulgaria, Rumania and Poland. These charges are that the arrested lead- ers were engaged in a “plot against the security of the Republic. According to the Communist-controlled Ministry of the Interior, they planned an armed upris- ing to restore Admiral Horthy to power after the Russians have left. But these charges refute them- selves; for the peace treaty itself forbids any kind of fascist Government and that treaty is subject to Allied enforcement, The principal Communist organ ! frankly admits that the arrests and charges are de- 1 signea to prevent the opposition from taking advantage of the “change of force and power positions after the signing of the treaty.” { What is more ominous, but in keeping with what y is happening throughout eastern Europe, the Hungar- ian Communists have now directed their fire against the men who also plotted against Hitler and played leading roles in creating the Government of Liberation and arranging the surrender of the country to Russia Some of them had been sent to German concentration But if the Communists have their way, that will save them no more than a like fight saved their counterparts in For they only fought for their better ¢ at the moment to recognize Tito than helghboring countries. {o break with him country and those who only fought for their country are now being liquidated by those who fought only “or Although the report of the penetration of our Ryssia ]‘he washi“gton Wherry was first interrupted b_v"‘“m}s the USA.
