Sees Events In Hungary As

Terrible Defeat

OTTAWA iCP) - Immigration Minister Pickersgill said Tuesday he sees the events in Hungary as "a terrible defeat for the Rus- Ians." The minister, Just back from a 15-day tour of European countries to cvaluate the Hungarian refugee problem and speed the flow of ref- ugees to Canada, told a press con- fcrcnce that the Russians "don't know how to deal with the situa- tion in Hungary."

The Russians. he said. had 'iaiIed utterly to establish a Com- munist party in Hungary." After 11 years of Soviet domination in Hungary this failure was perfectly ('IL':l . ,-

In fact when'lhe uprisings he- gan the feeling of the Hungarian people turned definitely anti-Com- munlsi.

CAREFULLY SCREENED Mr. Pickersgill said he wanted

For Russia

to make this point clear in Cans- dians who might think that in wel- coming thousands of Hungarian refugees that Canada might be ad- mitting "a whole lot of dange ous Communists."

it was true that a few Com munists might slip through the Canadian immigration screen. But the fact remained that Hungary was different from Poland and Yugoslavia where there was a form of self - governing commu- nism. ln Hungary. communism never got a foothold.

Mr. Plckersgill said the Hungar- ian refugce problem was not an ordinary immigration problem. It was a probcm "in the strugge between the Free World and the world that isn't free."

The way the West handled "this problem created by Soviet com- muniam" was going to decide "the way we are going to be judged."

Earlier in the year. Eden suc-. cessfully heat off attacks from' within his own ranks. Criticism. appeared to be mainly that the; Premier 'was s ”ditherer'" who kept putting off decisions. The.

A Sunday newspaper, The People, carried a speculative report that Eden would resign in midsummer. but the rumor was denied in a statement from Downing Street PARTY CHANGES
