EDITORIAL UNANIMITY IN THE PATRIOTIC FEELINGS OF THE HUNGARIAN PEOPLE Only to the consolidation of the will of all] Hungarians, as well as to their high sense of pa- triotic responsibility, can he attributed the extra- ordinary heroism disnlaved by the Hungarian people in the terrible struggle against Russian imperialism, To stand up to the formidable military might of the Soviets is not an adventure outside of the sphere of supreme sacrifices. It is required to possess a firm decision, courage that goes far beyond what can be expected under normal circumstances. Hungarian women have given their contribu- tion of emotion and gallantry to the anti-communist movement. In an impressive manner, thirty thou- sand of them defied day before yesterday the tanks and machine-guns of the Russians, until they arriv- ed to place a floral wreath at the tomb of the Unknown Soldier; an act surrounded by the highest symbolic meaning and which, to take place, it was necessary to have a coHective attitude which prevail- ed in spite of the bullets. The Hungarian resistance has earned and con- tinues earning universal admiration. It should be remembered that, during World War II, generally as an ideologic watch-word, every gesture of Russian valor was the objet of inflamed praise, with a very marked and very special character, in the part of certain intellectual elements, engaged in making prominent the bravery and nobleness of the Red Armies. Indeed, those voices which glorified the achievements of Stalingrad, for example, are not heard now consecrating, in the name of justice, the heroism of the Hungarians in their titanic struggle against the Russian invader. But, outside of these eases, the Hungarian attitude has awakened a great interest in the whole world and has earned enthus- iastic admiration. When there is unanimous conviction; when all the people engage in the defense of their cause, cannon, machine-guns and tanks are impotent to prevent the protest. Perhaps they can crush with their physical superiority the patriotic rebellion, but they do not succeed in annihilating in the conscience of the citizen the concept of freedom and the desire to take advantage of every resource at their disposal to defend their rights.
