 It's time for the Lawn Jean Chronoscope, a television journal of the important issues of the hour brought to you every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, a presentation of the Lawn Jean Wittner Watch Company, maker of Lawn Jean, the world's most honored watch, and Wittner, distinguished companion to the world-honored Lawn Jean. Good evening. This is Frank Knight. May I introduce our co-editors for this edition of the Lawn Jean Chronoscope? They are CBS News Correspondents Larry Lusser and Alexander Kendrick. Our distinguished guest for this evening is the Honorable Ferenc Neuch, former Prime Minister of Hungary. There's a new political saying, one born in our times, to the effect that there are two kinds of diplomats. Those who think they can negotiate with the communists and those who have tried. Our guest tonight is one who has tried. As the former Prime Minister of Hungary, he is now an exile in this country. Mr. Nasd, do you think that coexistence is possible between the slave world and the free world? Do you think it's practical? I think coexistence is possible between nations, between Russia and other nations on the western side. But I do not believe coexistence is possible between ideologies. Communism is an imperialistic ideology which cannot give up its final goal for the coexistence. Well, tell me Mr. Nasd, do you think it's possible to break the grip of the communist dictatorship over Central Europe, we'll say, without the use of outside force? It is impossible. The Iron Curtain people never will be able to liberate themselves. They will be liberated only by a new settlement of the world under a modern dictatorship. Any kind of open resistance or counter-revolution is impossible. Well, what do you think, Mr. Nasd, are the weaknesses of the communist system? Does it lie in their stretch out of the workers and the factories, or is it in their effort to collectivize the agricultural workers and farmers? Their methods, methods of violation and terror, shows their weakness best because there is no country under communist dictatorship or communist rule in which the leaders take the dare to share the responsibility with the people. Well, do the leaders, you think, especially enjoy whatever fruits there may be of communism, or does anything trickle down to the people? I think the real communists in the Iron Curtain countries are only the leaders and the beneficiaries of the communism. Fellows of the communism are only in the free countries, not in the Iron Curtain countries where the people knows communism. In other words, do you think there are more dissidents than against communism behind the Iron Curtain in the raw outside? Certainly, I can say that the western world has undivided people's sympathy only in the Iron Curtain countries. Mr. Nasd, the Red Hungarian government, as you know, has protested against the fact that we are sending balloons, I believe it's the crusade for freedom, are sending balloons over Hungary and dropping leaflets from them. Now, do you think that's an effective way of informing or arousing the people? The protest of the Hungarian government shows that the balloon action was very effective. Mr. Nasd, I've been working along the Iron Curtain for some years now and it struck me that this balloon action that they launched from Munich during this past summer was also a pretty effective way of doing things. But would you explain now what is the purpose of this balloon propaganda campaign? It's certainly not to rouse up a revolt in Hungary, is it? Not. It would be useless, even worse, wrong thing to try to rouse the people because, as I said, under a modern dictatorship any kind of open resistance is impossible. But because there is no leader of the free people who can say to the people what to do and what to demand, it is important to give encouragement and to express their wishes, their desires from here. It's outside leadership, in other words, but it's being applied within the framework of legality in Hungary, is that the idea? Yes, sir. Well, I take it, Mr. Nasd, that you've had some work, perhaps some Hungary, on how effective these leaflets may be? No, I was recently in India, I spent on Far East about eight weeks and just arrived before Christmas, so I do not have any direct information since then. Mr. Nasd, we did hear that while you were in India, you did have an opportunity to talk to the Prime Minister of that great country, Prime Minister Nehru. Now, did you feel that there was any danger of a communist coup d'etat in India such as took place in your own country? I can tell you that there is no communist danger in India. There will be no communism at least in the next five years. There are many factors fighting communism much more than in some so-called friendly countries in Asia. Well, do you feel that they treat the communists externally as severely or as stringently as they treat the communists internally? They're fighting the communism inside, in the country, very effectively. You have to see the misery and pureness of the Indian people to appreciate the fight against communism. But they are not very friendly and satisfied with the world communism, too. After Mr. Nehru came back from China, he delivered a very strong anti-communist speech in which he said openly, because the Chinese leaders succeeded to develop something in China. They are not competent to give advices to the Indian leaders what to do in India. Mr. Nehru said, we know that better than they. Then again in his speech he said, the communists are not progressives. They are reactionaries. They are living in the past. They are trying to copy the 37 years old Russian Revolution today, and they are trying to act on the basis of a book was written 100 years ago. What was Mr. Nehru particularly interested in learning from you, Mr. Najee? Did he ask you questions about how the communists push took place in Budapest? I started to bring up this question. I told Mr. Nehru, I understand their fight against colonialism. But why they do not include the Central and Eastern European countries when they are fighting for the liberation of the colonies under the most cruel Soviet colonialization? He said, there is some difference between the status of the so-called Iron Curtain countries and the old colonies, but whatever you call it, it is oppression and exploitation, and I never recognized these politics of the Soviet Union. Mr. Najee, what was your impression of the Indian attitude toward the United States? I was prepared to find an anti-American sentiment, and I didn't find it. The young people, through which you can find really the attitude of the nation, the young people are not anti-Americans. They want to come to the United States either to study, to continue their study here in the United States, or many educated young people are ready to come here as farm workers just to spend a year in the United States. They are admiring the developments of the United States, and they are admiring the democracy. What was the reason actually for your visit to India, Mr. Najee? I was invited by the Indian peasant party to study the rural reconstruction work in India, and then to deliver speeches today. Well, because you were a member of the peasant party of Hungary. Well, incidentally, Mr. Najee, you've spent a bit of time in this country now as an exile from your own homeland, and you've had an opportunity to look at our political system and our democracy. I wonder what you think of our strengths and weaknesses. You do not have a weakness, Mr. Lesser, but I feel that you cannot express the beautiness of the American democracy in a broad. Because you Americans, you think that is natural how you live in this country. In Japan and in India, I was able to speak on America that my audience were crying. But thank you very much, Mr. Najee. Thank you very much for your contribution tonight. The opinions expressed on the Longeen Chronoscope were those of the speakers. The editorial board for this edition of the Longeen Chronoscope was Larry Lesser and Alexander Kendrick. Our distinguished guest was the Honorable Ferenc Neusch, former Prime Minister of Hungary. The guarantee certificate that goes with every Longeen watch forms part of a booklet which also gives you much useful information about watches and about their care. Now, in the back of this booklet is a list of 100 countries where Longeen watches are sold and where they're serviced. And that's just about every place in the free world. In every language, the word Longeen means the same to you and the same to me. The fact is that throughout the world, no other name on a watch means so much as Longeen, the world's most honored watch. It's a worldwide symbol of the excellence and the elegance of Longeen watches, so judged by many impartial international juries of experts who have awarded to Longeen 10 World Fair Grand Prizes, 28 gold medals, highest honors for accuracy. Yet, though a Longeen watch is a luxury product in every sense of the word, it is a democratic luxury. For you may buy and own or proudly give a Longeen watch for as little as 70, 150.
