We've done better than

Scientists have called this
guessing ahead Of time "pre-
cognition."
Striking as these London
experiments are, / would not

mot have confirmation. This
work is but one small part of
a long series OF researches
dealing with prophecy. SINH
lar tests have been carried

for over ten years.
The troublesome thing, and
the factor that makes this
prophetic ability unreliable,
Is the fact that neither Mr..
Shackleton nor any OF the
other subjects who have
shown a talent for peering
into the future can tell when
they are guessing right and
when they are wrong.
Out of the hundreds of
prophecies these persons get
a high enough accuracy score

ity is something more til

not always right-or nearly
always-does not have much

a.. L think it desirable to
add, in conclusion, that my country
has placed her trust and her hope
in the solidarity of the nations
whose duty it is not only to settle
disputes but also to prevent them.
"The annals Of my .country's his
tory are full enough of the injusti-
ces she has suffered, but her faith
in the noble ideal of humanity has
never wavered.
!, "Lithuania remains serene in the
consciousness of the integrity of
her honor"
(From S. Lozoraitis' speech at
the Tenth Plenary Meeting, Sept.
16, 1885, League of Nations Of
ficial Journal, 1885, Special Sup
plement No. 1873, page S7.)
y * *
On the eve of World War ii, on
September 21, 1888, this same at
titude was expressed in another
meeting of the League of Nations
Assembled by the Lithuanian chief
delegate.
What has been said of the Lith-
uanian attitude toward the League
of Nations applies equally to her
support of any just and effective
international security organization
which may take it's place.
At this particular time, when the
United Nations are meeting in San
Francisco, the Lithuanian Legation
in Washington reiterates the stand
of the Lithuanian government and
the Lithuanian people in regard to
international cooperation and the
peaceful solution of international
disputes. Lithuania hopes that this
time effective means will be found
to prevent future aggression, from
whatever quarter or under what
ever pretext it may come.
Lithuania firmly believes that
her record as a peaceful and pro-
gressive nation, her struggles for
Independent existence, and her pres
ent martyrdom will not be under
estimated by the United Nations,
and that her liberty will not be
sacrificed for the sake of so-called
strategic interests, of expediency,
or of any other consideration, to
any foreign power. Relying on
the sense of justice and the moral
principles of the United Nations,
I.ithuania is confidently awaiting
the termination of her present dom
iation by an uncsrupulous neigh
Dor, and the restoration of her in
dependence and her fundamental
rights in accordance with the prin-
ciples of the Atlantic Charter.

Lithuania and International Organization

with hope that we will be free,
we are pursuing the same. illogical
thinking that caused the world so
much trouble from the days of
Munich on.
Finally, let us remember that to
say that Soviet democracy" (as
Mr.. Wallace expressed it) SIS bet
ter than ours" is an insult to COM
mon intelligence. 1t is diametrical-
ly opposed to every concept and is
not compatible with our ways of
living.
We destroyed one form of dicta-
torship, the Nazi and their satel-
lites, but in doing SO we armed and
encouraged another, the Commun-
list, which, in time, will be a men
ace to all freedom loving humanity.

LITHUAN1A AND THE LEAGUE
OF NATIONS
The Lithuanian attitude was ex-
pressed by S. Lozoraitis, Lithuanian
Foreign Minister and chief delegate
to the League of Nations Assem-
bly,, when he said on September 16,
1885:
"Lithuania has always been, is
now and will in the future be num-
bered among the nations most 10y
ally and most entirely devoted to
the League and to the fundamental
charter upon which it is based.
"My country's attachment and
loyalty to the League are due, not
only to the profoundly peaceful
spirit of my people and to it's. feel
ing of solidarity with all nations,
but also to it's enlightened self-in-
terest.
g. :. Conscious of my country's
responsibility to the whole inter
national community and also of the
part it plays in the problems of
Eastern Europe, l wish today to
make the following solemn declara-
ton form this platform to the
whole civilized world:
"That the loyal and complete OBJ
servance of all international en-
gagements is of the essence of that
external and internal policy of tbs
Lithuanian Government;
THAT my Government is wiling
that any divergence of views with
regard to it's international obliga-
tions shall, if necessary, be submit
ted to the procedure provided for
by the treaties.
"This line of conduct has been
followed on numerous occasions, and
always with success. / am pro-
foundly convinced that this attitude
on the part of my Government
must be regarded as a sufficient
basis for loyal collaboration among
all those concerned.
