Even more than most Soviet satellites, the regime of Hungarian Puppet Janos Kadar is regarded by the U.S. with revulsion. Ever since Kadar was installed by Soviet bayonets that snuffed out the 1956 revolution, the U.S. conducts almost no trade relations with Hungary, maintains a skeleton legation and only a chargé d'affaires in Budapest. In addition, on the motion of the U.S., the U.N.

...That scheme raised some fascinating questions. By Ghana's rule that South Africa is not fit to be a member because it defies U.N. principles, could Red China, which actually waged war against the U.N. in Korea, ever attain U.N. membership? Could Russia and the regime of Janos Kadar, which defied the U.N. on the Hungarian question, retain their U.N. seats? On such matters, the African states seemed resolutely dedicated to a double standard...
