Summary:
The draft report gives a list of arrestees and the length of sentences. The list includes political activists, intellectuals, labor leaders and people who opposed the coerced collectivization drive. The repression persists: people's control committees, social courts and workers guards, all obedient tools of the regime placed and kept in power by military forces of the Soviet Union. Hungarian rulers are unable to maintain their position within their land without foreign military support. The question of Hungary, which has now been before the General Assembly for almost five years, is fundamentally a question of the repression of the right of self-determination.
