3. Hungarian Communists Seek New "Alliance" Partners
Recently, an increased interest of the PSAP (Hungarian Socialist
Workers' Party) in former Social Democrats living in Hungary, as well
as Hungarian emigrants, has been evident.
the USAF wishes to win over the Hungarian Social Demo-
crat emigrees in particular to support the pro-Soviet communists in their
dispute with Peiping. Indirectly, through the conference of the Socialist
Internatio? taking place in Brussels in early September, even the former

land Front." In this case the communists wish to refrain from all further
measures against former Social Democrats.
Three kinds of motives evidently lie behind these Hungarian efforts.
One motive may be seen in Moscow's wish to play it safe in the dispute
with the Chinese communists. Similar attempts for contacttby other sa-
tellite states have been aimed at th4 same goal.
Another, purely foreign policy motive is the continuing desire of the
present Hungarian regime for complete rehabilitition abroad. Consequently,

The abovimentioned remark on the safeguarding of the udemocratic achieve-
ments of Destalinizationu should be viewed against the background of the
opposition piumamQ, within the party. After Stalin prize-holder Sandor
Nagy was arrested in March because of his propaganda activityrin robitat
(county) Csongrad which was directed against Kadarls course, the Ministry
of Interior at the end of July initiated investigative action in Komitat
and active
Baranya against a leftist opposition group of former4CP officialsworkingi
in the educational system and agriculture, who are charged with passive
resistance to party instructions and the distribution of opposition
agitation materials. Even in Budapest,

subordinate CP officials, after charges from Komitat Somogyi about oppo-

Opposition circles, in their criticism of the party line, allegedly even
said that the workers' class is in danger of losing its power. This
expression of opinion should be appraised as the ideologically framed
argument of officials who are anxious about their personal positions, or

At present, it is impossible to determine the extent of stalinist
