not start war, but will resist to the
last man every effort to take our in
dependence from us, and in two years
the new border states have learned
how to resist in the struggles against
German and Russian aggression"
Karl Ullman, premier of Letvia, told
the Associated Press today.

name for the understanding the
border states are arranging" he con-
tinued. 1T Is not really intended to
be union in the sense the United

do not propose to surrender any SOW

currency, transportation, customs,
tariffs and telegraphs, and arrange
