'Zddeikis Urges
National Status
For Lithudnid

Freedom from fear in a postwar
world can only come to the small
nations of Europe through restora-
ton of their national independence,
the Minister from Lithuania, Povilas
Zadeikis, declared yesterday.
Speaking before the Women's Ma
tional Democratic Club luncheon on
freedom From Fear" the clubs
topic for discussion this month in
series Of discussions on the four
freedoms, the Minister emphasized
that freedom from fear in politi-
cal sense means noninterference in
internal affairs of any one state by
forces of another state"
Sketching the history OF Lithua-
MIA, the speaker told how his coun-
try had retained independent char
acteristics through the ages In spite
OF invasions by stronger countries
over a period of a thousand years.
Prosecutions had caused the migra-
ton of Is per cent Of the Lithuanian
population. Now the people look to
the day when the ideals proclaimed
In the Atlantic Charter will be
achieved and "Lithuania will enjoy
return of self-government and in
dependence" he said.
World War II is being fought by
the freedom-loving nations for the
liberation Of all peoples enslaved by
the so-called master races" Mr..
ladeikis continued. "The indenpend-
ence Of small nations is considered
to be democratic, just and essential
to world progress"
Objections to restoring the free
dom OF Lithuania, now in the hands
OF the Nazis, seem improbable now,
the Minister added, but if such OBJ
1ections should be raised and "an-
nexation insisted upon for the con-
venience and pleasure OF a stronger
state. possibilities OF just peace
would be greatly minimized," he
said.
The Atlantic Charter must be ap-
plicable to the Baltic States in equal
measure, the speaker declared.
THE Baltic Sea must not be al
lowed to become q German or Rus
SidA lake, ne asserted, but must
be made free"
To shake OIL fear of humiliation
and resume her constructive role in
postwar Europe, "Lithuania needs a
blood TRANSMISSION in the form of
restored independence" the Min
lister added.
Foreign domination is death; ma
tional independence is life," he said.
To insure freedom from fear to
all small nations, perhaps the League
OF Nations idea. reinforced by ex-
periences of recent date, should be
tried again."
Mr.. zadeikis was introduced by
Mrs. Francis B. Sayre. club presi-
dent, who presided at the luncheon.
Nine. Zadeikis, wife of the Minister,
was among those attending.

GREENS ON
CHRISTMAS

For a great number of people, a
house not decorated with Christmas
greens would be dull indeed. One
expert has pointed out, though,
that there need be no fear that
there ever will be shortage of the
green's peculiar to the various Sec
lions of this nation if proper care
is taken in collecting the greenery.
But as it is today, wanton de-
struction in the collection of the
Yuletide decorations, SO thoughtful
ly placed for our use by Mother
Nature. has brought about a dam
ger that we might not have some
of the green's we are SO accustom-
ed to.
There is danger that the Amer
lean holly, in southern Atlantic
coast states, and the laurel plants
of the mountainous country of the
East, will both face determination
unless some organized method of
harvesting is brought about
Three other Christmas decorative
plants that are rapidly disappear
ing because of new. and increased
demand, are the WATERBURY,, the
ground pine, and the bittersweet.
To large extent these plants
can be saved if the nation turns
to the use of evergreen boughs,
such as cedar. pine. hemlock and
spruce. For a touch of color. arti-
ficial red berries could we'll be used.
The story Of our over CONNER
ciali2ation is always connected with
the background of the dissipation
of our native plant life without re-
gard to future stock. Some form of
protective law has to be put into
effect to protect the quickly dis
appearing greenery. Restriction or
prohibition in certain areas seems
to be the coming necessity to save
them.

OIL Santa
wasbornin
Goodu.S.A.

Europe brought Christmas to
America, but America gave Santa
Claus to Europe.
When the early Dutch settlers
came to America, they had never
heard of Santa Claus. Old st.
Nicholas. who brought them pres
ents each December 6, changed
rapidly in the New World.
His name became abbreviated and
altered to Santa Claus, and his
external appearance underwent
great changes. From a lean as
celtic he was transformed into a
jolly, fat old fellow. His pale face
became the color of rosy apples. He
laid aside his canonical robes, inter
and pastoral staff to become
clothed in cap and brilliant red
suit, trimmed with ermine. The
new Santa Claus traded his fam
Gus gray horse for a reindeer and
sleigh. He also stopped giving
presents on December 6, and start
ed distributing gifts on the night
Of December "a
The changes in his outward APP
pearance were reflected in his
change of character. When he came
to America he left behind him rod
and bag of ashes with which he
beat naughty children, and adopt
ed an entirely lovable personality.
Completely transformed, he again
crossed the ocean to be welcomed
everywhere from Scotland to Aus
tralia.

GAS our means have permitted, .
King said, I'VE are getting into bet

For one thing, he added, the U.

efforts to lure the japanese fleet
out for showdown.
We've done several things and
are going to do several more in an
endeavor to get them out" he said.
What's more, King continued, the
Navy was willing to meet the jap

envy is "likely to put out"
Discussing future prospects, King
said:
I'VE never have had the inten-
ton of island-hopping the so-called
island hopping is due in large meas
ure to the limitation of ways and

way union fears of pay freeze
for the duration threatened today
to delay settlement of the railway
wage dispute and return of the rail-
roads to private management.
Leaders of 10 of the railway unions
expressed some concern over Presi-

they interpreted as freezing wage
levels for the duration regardless OF
any changes that might be made in
the wage stabilizatior program.

or to reject him altogether.

That Allied timetable for the de-
feat of the Axis was indicated clear
ly today by two recent utterances
of Admiral Ernest j. King, COM
mander- in-chief of the U. S. fleet.
King, high ranking member of
the Allied high command, declared
that he expected defeat of Germany
in the coming year. He said this
in an interview, during which he
revealed also that plans now were
being made to shift Allied power
from the European to the Pacific
theater as soon as the Reich's col
lapse appeared certain.
He did not predict when Japan
would be defeated but implied 1t
would come year after next in his
Christmas message to the armed
forces, telling them he looked
for peace throughout the world in
1915.

miral rarely ventures to predict l.
