 We Americans went into this
 second World War giving our
 wealth and the lives of our youth
 through our unconditional. lend
 lease, with which we destroyed
 one ruthless dictator: we also
 gave over eight million dollars
 worth of unconditional lend
 lease including lives of our boys
 to help the Red Army and the
 NKVD form the same kind Of
 team aS the Wehrmacht and the
 destapo.
 After giving oil, Is the Victory
 Really Ours7
 With the slowly vanishing "At-
 lantic Charter" . promise was
 given. "This war b being waged
 for the freedom of oil mankind, regardless of race or creed" For
 this promise our War leaders ac. cepted the willing supreme sacri- fees of our youth; with given lives and wealth the Allies won the victory.
 Is honesty triumphant in this Victory
 Before America was driven into the second World War, the U. s. 6. R. and the Baltic States had Iii kinds of ron-aggresSioa agree. ments and treaties signed. but oil were scrapped and thrown into the waste basket by Josef Stalin. Without any warning the small, peaceful countries were occupied by the U. S. S. R. Red Army of Mongolians, who themselves never knew what freedom or civilization meant. The occupied nations Of the Baltic States underwent un- speakable terroriNm, atrocities committed by the yellow race; 1t was no crime for c woman to be raped on the street or in her home by Q member of the Red Army. The people of the occupied countries were deported in cattle cars to Siberia; groups by thous- andS in their light clothing and bare feet were forced by foot toward the long and ice-covered roads to Siberia in zero weather. There was no one to check Up on how far these people went be. fore collapsing.
 Most of our news about atro. cities committed in the Baltic States was received through the foreign press and other authori- tative sources before the United States entered into the second World War.
 All refugees from the Baltic States in Europe are continuous ly fleeing from places where ever word is heard, that the U. s. s. R. Red Army is to occupy their camps. Those people Of the Bal- tic States that are caught, un- q willingly with bowed heads. are forced to wear the band of the hammer and cycle, these people are called the Russian National ists.
 Josef Stalin has his powerful hand stretched out in trying to force the Swedish, the Swiss and other governments to deport all refugees of the Baltic States back to Russia where sure death or deportation to Siberia awaits them.
 The latest report received Is: Stalin,s Red Army has already gathered over 60,000 of Lithuan- ian refugee children and returned them to Russia. One can make deductions what will happen to these children after the brutali- ties of the past. The population of the Baltic States is taken with in the closed doors of our Ameri- can made strong and powerful Ally the U. s. S. R. Are we go- ing to stand by and not raise our voices in defense of our younger generation?
 Is it unknown or is 1t merely forgotten by our historians and our well known commentators how Josef StaIin was unable to comm1nize the small Countries before he had received the un- conditional Lend Leaseg At present, over the radio and in Az&a. ..sa. F.sa4.. ssaaIes .tassasA EHuM
