Concerning your Dec. 12 article on changing policies toward world Communism: it is rather sad to learn that the Hungarian tragedy was necessary to open the eyes of the world. That the average citizen, with his own troubles and worries to take care of, should have been misled by this flirtation of coexistence, seems understandable to me; not so, however, for people whose only job it is to concern themselves with world affairs and who bear the moral responsibility of leading their respective nations.

Strain on Russia. The slump in coal production is only the most glaring of the satellites' economic difficulties. The shattering of Hungary's economy has cut off scarce manufactured goods-buses, railway cars, consumer products-needed by the other satellites. Lack of Hungarian bauxite and processed aluminum is slowly forcing East Germany's young aircraft industry to a halt. Hungary may have to lay off more than 200,000 workers in the next few months, and unemployment is a major problem in Bulgaria. The breakdown of Hungary's vitally located railroad system has prevented the normal...
