What Fate for Lithuanian Refugees and Deportees?

1T is said that Soviet officials
are rounding up all such Lith-
uanians as "Soviet citizens
and sending them eastward.
1t is reported that about fifty
thousand were rounded up in
East Prussia. There are
grounds for fears that many
innocent people will be labeled
"pro- -Nazis" and doomed to
liquidation.
It is to be hoped that the
Lithuanian citizenship of Lith-
'uanians in areas under Ameri-
. can-British occupation will be
honored ant that repatriation
against their will to Soviet-oc-
cupied Lithuania will not take
place.
A Lithuanian Citizens AS
sociation has been formed in
Nuremberg, Germany, to as
sist Allied commanders in car
ing properly for all Lithuan-
ians who are the unfortunate
victims of Nazi war and ag-
gression.
1t is reported that $4,000
Lithuanians were recently de-
ported from the eastern re-
gions of Lithuania to the So
Wet Union for slave labor. The
tragic situation of Lithuanian
deportees and refugees is caus-
ing the greatest uneasiness,
not only to those directly con-
cerned, but also among Lith-
uanian-Americans in the u
nited States who fear for rela-
tives and friends.
The heavy fog of uncertain

her contract to teach in the present
school year and has refused to give
any reason for its action.
This convention is reliably informed
that Miss Eastman has an unblem-
ished reputation and unquestioned
qualifications as a teacher.
1t is believed that the Helena School
Board refused to renew Miss East
mans contract because of political
prejudice against her because she has
been a candidate for public office, and
further prejudiced against her because
of liberal political and economic views.
We are convinced that such unfair
and prejudiced treatment OF an in

er as exemplified in the action of the
Helena School Board toward Miss
Eastman may well be considered a
cancerous growth in our social struc-
ture which if ignored may develop

SUPPORT UNIONS WAGE
DEMANDS

We support in general the current requests of
labor unions for wages that are high enough to
enable Americas working families to establish
homes in which they will be comfortable, way of
life in which they will be we-dressed, healthiy
fed protected against illness, assured that their
children have good educations, in short wages
high enough to give them American standard
of living.
We are aware of the elaborate campaigns by
such groups as the National Association of Manu-
facturers to "butter-up the farmers of America
in order to get their help in the current drive
against the unions. We urge all farmers, in and
out of the Farmers Union to know these over
lures for what they are threat of the most
dangerous kind to all farmers
Because it is an historic and economic fact
that unless the wage earners of the nation-in
factory, office and store-have living wages, the
farmers cannot prosper.
We are aware that the monopolies want to
maintain a so-caed fluid labor market, by which
they mean pool of unemployed totang several
million. We are also aware that such pool would
be disastrous to our welfare and to the whole ma
tional economy. For every additional million OF
unemployed our farm income would drop almost
a billion dollars. We support organized labors
demands for guaranteed annual wage and for
jobs for all.
Press and radio have for some time deliberate
ly tried to panic the American people into fight
against organized labor. This has been done by
scare-stores about strikes, exaggerating the true
picture out of all proportion and by msrepresent-
ing the causes of most strikes We realize that the
so-called $50 per cent wage increase demand" is
in reality only request to bring wages into line
with the present high prices, and is not a 30 per
cent increase in take-home pay at all. We real
ize too, that the current strikes, far involving
only very small.percentage of workers, are large
y brought about by the belief in certain sections
of management that this reconversion period is
good time to attack and weaken the unions. We
deplore these trends and practices.

lions, distortions of facts and outright untruthS
The company speaks out of guilty conscience

dishonest profits
AMENDMENTS INTRODUCED FROM FLooR)
l. BE 1T RESOLVED that the Executive Board
of the Farmers Educational and Cooperative IN
ion of America Montana Division, be authorized
to make substantial contribution to the Montana
MVA Association.
2. WHEREAS the general problems of devel-
opment and conservation of resources found in the
Missouri Valley are found in the other great river
systems and in this state the Columbia River
Valley
BE 1T RESOLVED that for the same reasons
commanding our support of IVA and MVA we
endorse and support development of the Columbia
River Valley by means of Valley Authority pat
termed as is the proposed MVA, after the Ten
nessee Valley Authority.
We are confident that majority of the peo-
pie of Montana are now in favor of MVA. We
know that majority of our state officials are IN
favor of MVA and frowf upon Ford's one-man
campaign behalf of the corporations We
know that when all the facts placed before
them the majority of the people will back MVA
And we pledge our organization to aid the splen-
did work now being carried out by Senator Muir
ray and by the Montana MVA Association, under
the leadership of former Supreme Court Justice
Left Erickson to bring the truth of MVA before
congress and the people.
We urge the chambers of commerce in our va
rious Montana towns, and others who have OPP
posed MVA to make thorough study of the plan
to hear the side also of those who favor it. And
TO do this they must make special effort, since
it is not to be found in the press, heard over
the radio When the facts are known we believe
our Montana businessmen will agree that they
stand to gain from MVA than any other
group in the population.

new life for Montana and the other Missouri
basin states through the MVA is not a vision or
a dream 1t is plan to do what has already been
for II happy years in the Tennessee valley
At first the chambers of commerce and the bust
nessmen in that valley were strongly opposed to
IVA They, too, mised by the power trust
propaganda Today, having seen the universal
benefits of IVA to business industry merchants,
farmers and all the peoples the chambers of COM
merce in the Tennessee valley states are the big
