to about Is million rubles-but
the rubles are not quoted on the
worlds exchange market! An or
binary dog costs 10000 rubles;
the meat of cats are used for
sausages. and a lot of horse
meat is being eaten while beef
has disappeared completely.
Children in Moscow are suf-
fering from epidemic Diseases,
and school work is practically at
standstill because everyone is
busy struggling for existence.
The Lithuanian peace delegates
were convinced that the Bolshe-
visit regime cannot be eradicated
very suddenly because the intel
ligent and thoroughly educated
factions in Russia have been eff
fectively silenced by Lenin and
his cohorts.
''Safe and Sane Government.
Is it any wonder that the Lith-
uanians became frightened at
such a report which it was alto
gether too easy to verify be-
cause Of the close proximity be-
tween Kovno and Moscow? Is it
any wonder that they became
doubtful at methods which, as
shown in official Lenin reports,
had resulted in the execution of
10000 people of the Moscow
"intelllgentzia", and 10000
more in various parts of Russia?
The Lithuanian voters regis
tered a very energetic protest
against the possible invasion of
Sovietism: At the recent election
to the national assembly from
30 to 95 per cent of the votes
were cast by farmers and small
tradesmen. and the result was
that SO Christian Democrats
were elected, % moderate So
cialists. l3 extreme Socialists.
8 Jews, 3 Poles (who
happen to be owners of big
estates). German and l So
called "nonpartisan" working
man.
The election was victory for
the safe and sane tendencies in
Lithuania, and a great deal of in
tcrest was shown. for nearly 90
per cent of the eligible voters
went to the booths on election
day.

the country suffered immensely
while it was still a proviece of
Russia. and while fighting that
country only few months ago,
the people went through most
crushing ordeal. Now peace has
become an accomplished fact -
that was why the observant Lii
thuanian delegates visited Mos
cow--and the country is think
ing of the future and what is to
be done.
Supported by the Entente. Lii
thuania demanded as one of the
peace conditions an absolute Rus
sian recognition. But even when
that is granted, it amounts to
very little, for Russia herself has
not been recognized by any first
rate nation in the world.
A far more serious handicap is
the lack Of Allied recognition of
the new state. but very recent
reports are to the effect that
Great Britain has suggested Lii
lithuanian recognition to France.
Italy and Japan so that these
four major powers could effect a
collective recognition. That
would help much. As it now is,
Lithuania's industrial and COM
meroial life is paralized, for a
state without an official status is
in no position to do business
with the outside world.
Wants More Territory.
1t is very frequently appear
ing phenomenon that states
which themselves have recently
become liberated, and whose in
dependence is, in a measure. pre-
dicated upon the principle of the
self determination of peoples, in
sist on carrying out a policy of
expansion as soon as matters be-
gin to look rather secure within
their own borderlines. 1t has
been seen in Poland and in Fin
land as well as elsewhere.
And it is seen now in Lithuania.
for that state now insists on ac-
quiring the cities of Grodno and
Wilma, despite the fact that the
Lithuanians living in those cities
form mighty small part of their
entire population.
1t seems. taken as a whole, as
though the lesson of popular self
determination is the very hard
est for all the new states to COM
nit to memory. for practically
none of them wants to act in. ac-
cordance with it.

WHAT THE LITHUANIANS
THINK ABOUT AMERICA


tic states that have won their
independence in consequence Of
the world war. and whose free
dom is based upon just those
fundamental principles that were
proclaimed as part of the
American war program.
Still it is pretty difficult to
find out exactly what the Lithu-
anians think about the United
States and the American people
because there is a good deal of
ignorance about the western
world; in a general way it is
known that the constitution pro-
visionally passed only last week,
is built largely along the lines
that have made the American
protype famous.
Gist Of Constitution.
Among the main points of the
constitution are the following:
Lithuania is a democratic repub-
lie whose legislative power is
delegated to a national assembly;
the republic is ruled by a presi-
dent elected by the assembly to
which he must he responsible;
all citizens. without regard to
sex. nationality and religion. are
equal before the law: there is
practically unlimited freedom of
assembly. of press and of reli-
gion. and capital punishment is
abolished. Stulginski. president
of the national assembly, acts as
the country's executive until a
regular president is elected.
The particularly American fea-
ture--which indirectly says what
the Lithuanians think about
Americas the equality on
which the provisional constitu-
ton insists; it is far more def
mite than corresponding clauses
in other fundamental laws of the
new postwar Europe.
Reports brighten.
Attempts had been made to
establish in Lithuania Soviet
government modelled after that
Of Russia's, for the syndicalists
are hare-as almost everywhere.
The attempts failed. and one Of
the reasons was the fright en-
gendered among the Lithuanians
when they heard the reports
which their peace delegates re-
Gently brought back from Mos
cow.
In time of peace Moscow has a
population Of two million-~now
it has been reduced to less than
a million; as all the wooden
buildings have been used for
fuel, there are very few resi-
dences vacant.
For each Is civilian persons
there is one armed communist
altogether about 10000: in ad-
dition there are 10000 govern
ment (Lenin) spies and agents
Of the extraordinary commission
for the opposition to the counter
revolution.
Moscow has become a city Of
understandable filth: garbage is
being burned right in the streets
when the poor have been given
an opportunity to look through it
for food particles that might be
used.
The queerest dresses and suits
are seen: You may meet persons
walking about in patent-leather
shoes. but without collars and
neckties. or men in Prince Albert
coats-without shoes and socks.
But. whatever the bourgeoisie
may have suffered. the commu-
nists seem to be we'll off: Near
" everyone among them has an
automobile. a motorcycle or car
riage-loot from the battles
against Kolchak. Denikin or the
Englishmen. All the soldiers in
Moscow are wearing British uni
forms--captured in battles!
Business life is concentrated
