Hungarian Ex-Minister

Warns Us to Wake Up |

SaysPearl Harbor “Possible Again

@ By ED KENNEDY Indianapolis ean be the Pearl Harbor of World War I. That ominous forecast came today from behind the

Iron Curtain.

“It will take a Pearl Harbor to wake America up. That the blow can fall anvwhere. New York or Indianapolis.” So spoke Dr. Nicholas Nyaradi. 46-year-old former finance minister of the Hungarian coalition government. Dr. Nyaradi is here today as a guest of the Eng-lish-Speaking Union to address a free public meeting at 8 p. m. in the War Memorial ‘Auditorium. Tried to Do Business The words of warning came from a man who tried to do business with Rugsia. For seven months he worked in Moscow negotiating with top members of tHe all-powerful Politbureau. His mission then was to get the Russian war damage claim against Hungar, reduced. Under the Potsdam agreement his country was to pav Russia $200 million. After his seven months in Moscow the Russians settled for $45 million. “That $135 million out of Sta. lin's pocket was the last victory ol. Western Europe over communism.” he said. Although the aim of his hosts is "to draw together the bond of comradeship of the Englishspeaking peoples .of the world,” Dr. Nyaradi decried the actions of the British in doing business with the Russians. .

‘Would Trade Security’ “The British seem to be willing to trade their security for a few pounds of bacon and a few more eggs. -he said, J He was referring to their sell" ing of strategic materials to the Russians. = “If ‘it had not been for the 1848 embargo on the sale of strategic materials to them bv the United States. we would already be in World War III.” he said. “The next vear and a half will be the critical peériod for the United States and for the history of mankind.” the former bank official asserted. “During this period Russia will reach the maximum potential of war production which it can obtain within its own borders and from satellites. “If they feel they can win a ‘blitzkreig’ during this period they will attack. If they can secure the industry of Western]

Europe they will be able to matchiy, jo,q51y” fulfilled. - Then about]

If vou do. vou'll turn everyone in Europe into a Communist.” Heé pointed out that it not the atomic bomb alone which is holdfing up the Russian assault. “It is the fear of American production along with the bomb that has kept most of the peace.” he cautioned. “The bomb alone will not frighten them. They are willing to die bv the millions.” He was adamant in pointing out: that the United .States still has a, chance and should take advantage of every day. “We never had a chance in Hungary: After World War II; we were given a declaration of independence. We were assured | that we would be free. We would have a government of our own. “The United States signed this declaration and despite our fear of the Russians we believed the| United States would have the| strength to back up their part of} the promise. “If we had known that thisf would not be done we could have] exerted a maximum effort in our own country fo resist them.” He said his country then could
