THE POLITICAL MILL
BY GOULD LINCOLN
From The Washington (D.C.l Evening Star

after an intense struggle. a fore
runner Of the progressIve-conSer-
Native split IN the Republican par
" which brought the COP event
ually 10 It's knees.
So. IT may be easier to win this
proposed legislative reform by
amending the Constitution itself
Further. the reform would BE-
peTmanent-unlcss the COnSiItu-
ton were again revised.
There Is no good reason for IN
Guiding tWO subjects IN the same
bill. Indeed. the reasons for not
iolng so are very good Why
should II be possible. for example.
Ia tie an antI-lynchIng bill to a
relief measure. or an antI-poll tax
bill Ia q public works bill.
This Il not said m dcrogation of
either ant-lynching legislation or
snti-poll tax legislation These are
measures which should be conSid-
cred on their merits alone To both
strong constitutional objections
have been raised. The Senators
and Representatives from South
err States have fought them again
and again. by whatever rarlla
ment5fv maneuvers were DoSSi-
ble. The strongest has been the
iInbuSter IN the Senate made
possible bv the rule OF unlimited
debate IN that body.
The second section Of the pro
posed amendment. which declares
that no law shall b. amended Or
revised bv reference TO IT'S title
only. deserves support Their
las grown up practice hy which
Federal laws are amended merely
81 eliminating from. adding To or
substituting words m statute.
with a reference in the amending
iav only 10 the title or the original
law and the section which d Is
proposed 10 amend Il Is e lazy
mans way of doing business.
Instead Of rewriting and rc-cn-
acting tho Law. SD that the purpose
shall bc clear to anyone VINO reads
an amending bill. there Is only q
tumble of meaningless words
numbers and references "a cray
quilt which can only bc put INTO
understandable form 10y q careful
OF old laws.
The consequence Is that Scna-
tors and Representatives. m many
instances. are called ON la vote on
changes in existing laW which are
meaningless 10 thcm-unlcSS They

THE PERISCOPE
By sARUNAS.

THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS quar-
terly for January notes these con-
ditions in Ukraine and Ostland
(Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia and
White Russia:
SThe pattern may be described
like this: at the bottom, the mil
lions of native serfs, toiling II
hours day to produce the goods;
over them, as nominal farm owners
or managers of collectives, picked
layer of Dutch, Flemish, Danish and
other 'racially kindred overseers;
on top Of all, the German Gaulei-
ters and Commissars with their
bureaucracy of unter-Fuehrers Of
all grades, collecting taxes, divi-
dends and graft.
Such a "New Order, in the ma
ture of things, cannot endure. The
Lithuanians, the Latvians, the Es-
tonians and the Slavs are helping
to destroy it in every way thew
can.
1T is LITTLE KNOWN that the
first of the five peace points the
Pope gave to the world on Christ
mas Eve in 1889 was: "a funda-
mental postulate in any just and
honorable peace is an assurance for
all nations, great or small, power
full or weak, of their right to life
and independence.
This reminds us of the statement
issued by Acting Secretary of State
Sumner Welles, after Soviet Rus
sia occupied Lithuania by force:
"The American people are likewise
opposed to any form of interven-
tion on the part of one state, how
ever powerful, in the domestic con-
Germs Of any other sovereign state,
however weak.
The Lithuanians are still await
ing word from Moscow as to
whether she subscribes to these
principles of Christian civilization
and is willing to apply them to
Lithuania. BY the way, these
principles are also found inscribed
in the Atlantic Charter.
THE POLES were more lucky
than Lithuanians. Soviet Russia
occupied their country just as it
occupied Lithuania, but after Hit
Ter doublecrossed Stain and attack
ed him, the Poles signed an agree
ment with Russia by which they
liberated their war prisoners and
received permission to send relief
shipments to their civilians. A
news item from Iran states that
the last 100000 Polish soldiers have
arrived there and are being equip
ped with British clothing and food.
The Russians have supplied some
weapons.

BALTIC COUNTRIES RESISTANCE
(THE TINES
December s, 1942)

A copy of the Atlantic Charter
in the Lithuanian language has
just reached Stockholm, together
with trustworthy direct informa-
ton that the charter has beer
translated into the Baltic languages
secretly and it being widely circula.
ted in German occupied Estonia,
Latvia, and Lithuania, and in the
neighboring parts of occupied Rus
sia and Poland.
The spirit of resistance in the
Baltic, States has found it's greatest
expression in Lithuania, largely
because Lithuania is the country
where the German policy Of reset
tlement is most advanced. Not on
ly are Germans being brought back
whom Hitler withdrew from the
Baltic States in 1887 and 1910, but
there are also Germans from Bes-
sarabia, Rumania and elsewhere,
including the bombed parts of
Western Germany. Many of the
former Baltic Germans are consi-
dered unworthy to be pioneers in
the borderlands of Greater Ger
many and are not allowed to re-
turn.
Thousands Of Lithuanians also
fled to Germany before and during
the war with Russia, but these
are not allowed to return unless
they solemnly declare in writing
that they will renounce all claims
to property they formerly owned
in Lithuania. German settlers re-
ceive the richest lands; these are
allotted not only from what the
German State has already acquired
by various crooked means, but in
clude also good farms obtained by
the simple process of evicting the
l4lIIudIldH ONHCIo, IIOuSh tiiNJ
and their ancestors may have held
the farms for ages and never left
the country.
Underground organizations are
active, particularly the so-called
League for the Liberation of Lith-
uania, which, by the means of Sec
reilly printed periodicals and leaf
lets, ir prcpagating the ideals of
the Atlantic Charter and advising
active resistance to eviction, "even
if resistance means the letting of
blood'. This advice is often fol-
lowed, and in consequence blood
shedding is frequent.
Brownshirted bullies, somewhat
akin to Quisling's hiredmen, are re-
ported to have already murdered
over 1000 Lithuanians without any
form of trial. Out Of this nation
Of an estimated population of three
million something like 100000 have
been deported to Germany, mostly
as labourers.
Dirva = Field. [volume] (Cleveland, Ohio) 1915-current, 1943-02-05

AS for Lithuanians, Moscow is
still adamant, in it's refusal to per-
NIT American Lithuanians to send
relief supplies through the Red
Cross to Lithuanians in Siberia.
This refusal is in sharp contrast to
the generosity of the American
people who subscribed by more
than so per cent the goal set by
Russian War Relief early in 1912
This organization only wanted six
million dollars. The American
people gave it $9,342,204 (up to
December 81, 1942). The Lithua-
mans do not expect penny of this
amount to reach the Lithuanians,
in Siberia or elsewhere in Soviet
Russia.
ADMIRAL William H. Standley,
United States Ambassador to Rus
sia, arrived in Moscow after
three months absence for consul
tation in Washington on closer war
collaboration between the United
States and the Soviet Union. Lith-
uanians would be glad to know
whether the problem Of restoring
political freedom to the Baltic Sta
tes was discussed.
IH
THE WELL KNOWN English
Socialist, G. D. HI. Cole, in his la
test book, Europe, Russia, and the
Future, is very pessimistic about
the future of small states. He
says: "Small states cannot, under
the conditions of the present time,
be really independent"
That is the opinion of Mr.. Cole,
but it is not the considered opinion
of the small states like Denmark,
Sweden or Lithuania.
THE BALTIC COMMITTEE for
Studies and Cooperation was favor
ably commented on in the January
issue of New Europe and World
Reconstruction. In the past, this
publication tended TO favor the
strategic" aims of Russia in the
Baltic States. Let's hope it will
from now on support the princip-
les of the Atlantic Charter without
any reservation.
The formation of the Baltic Com
mittees has been mentioned in this
column. 1t was organized in New
York by Lithuanian, Latvian and
Estonian organizations. The Lith-
uanian members is the Lithuanian
National Council, organized by re-
fugees from Lithuania.
WATERBURY, Conn.,, Lithuan-
ians set up a special Committee re-
presenting 16 societies to arrange
the celebration of the 25th ami
versary Of the declaration of Lith-
uania's independence. The Com
mittee decided to purchase 20 copies
