THE PERISCOPE
By SARUNAS.

THE SO-CALLED sfCri m e a n
Charter" makes no mention of the
Baltic States, and this, no doubt,
saddened the hearts of Lithuanians,
Latvians and Estonians.
Does this silence signify that
these nations of Western and
Christian culture are handed over
to Eastern and communistic Rus
sia, with which they have nothing
whatsoever in common? If such
be the case, the Baltic people are
denied the right to live under a
government of their own choosing.
INTERNATIONAL concern for
Lithuania was much in allegiance
since the Tel heran conference,
where, as The Saturday Evening
Post said, the fate of the Baltic
republics was settled in Stains
favor. The Teheran agreement, as
The London Observer said (Dec.
49,, 1944) was zone of those great
partition treaties. Europe was
divided into spheres, and Lithuania
was given to Russia.
BUT LITHUANIA is not taking
this lying down. She also has
strong friends abroad. Eos instance.
the organ of Italian Christian Dem
ocrats, the Popolo, demanded that
the Atlantic Charter should be ap-
piled to Lithuania. "The love of
liberty has created in Lithuanians
right to liberty. There must be
a free decision of the people,.
THIS WAS the first reference
in Rome from source near the
Vatican to the fate of Lithuania.
Across the ocean, in New York,
a prayers for Lithuania Day was
hello in st. Patrick's Cathedral at
tended by 5000. Here, Rev. John
La Fargo, editor of the Roman
Catholic weekly America, said Lith-
uania faces it's darkest hour today,
after having been liberated from
Nazi rule by one of the Allies.
REV. LA FARCE claimed, "the
most recent agreement (Crimean)
of the great powers seems to place
a seal on the appearance that the
hour for Lithuania is darker, in
stead of being brighter. These re-
cent decisions seem to contradict
in every respect the promise to
respect the rights of all peoples to
choose the form of government un-
der which they shall live"
IN LONDON, a former British
vice consul, E. J. Harrison, wrote
a booklet entitled "Lithuania' s
Fight for Freedom, which has beer
now reprinted in the United States
and distributed by the Lithuanian
American Information Center OF
New York.
IN WASHINGTON, the Lithuan
ian American Council called upon
the officials of the United States
to help the Lithuanians achieve the
aims promised them by the Allan
| tic Charter.

TT WOULD be strange indeed if this free
Il country, with its immense resources
and with just appreciation of the ac-
complishments of its scientific men and
institutions, should permit POLITICIANS
and SOCIALISTIC ECONOMIC PLAN
NERS" to enchain SCIENCE in America
Yet that is what will happen unless
Americans beware: for the first step has
been taken in the presentation of a bill
in Congress.
This bill was introduced in its latest
form on July % by Senator Kilgore. one
Of the Democratic group which is spon-
sorlng Socialistic legislation at Washington.
1t would establish in the federal gov
ernment an independent agency" to be
known as the National Science Founda-
ton
The foundation" should take jurisdic-
tion over all scientific work carried on in
any department of the government in
cluding THE WAR AND NAVY DE-
PARTMENTS.
But the Kilgore bill also ranges far
beyond the government
TT WOULD empower the director" of
the foundation" to utilize" the "faci!-
..AN A~SSNi> >So VI piiHdlc VI SdilLd-
tions. ~
Under the formuae of protecting the
public health or promoting the national
defense, EVERY INDUSTRIAL RE-
SEARCH ESTABLISHMENT COULD
BE IMPRESSED INTO LINE.
To support its activities and augment
its power, the foundation" would receive
from Congress unestimated appropriations
OF such sums as may be necessary"
In addition, this agency Of the fed
eral government could SOLICIT AND
RECEIVE FINANCIAL GRANTS" out
side the government
Out of its funds it could bestow
scholarships and felowships, and hire an
unlimited number of employees
At least half of the congressional
allotments would be used for "engaging
the facilities of 'nonprofit educational
institutions and research institutions"
This use of money would be SUB
SIDIES-and federal subsidies would
mean FEDERAL CONTROL of scientific
education and research
Moreover, any institution, firm or per
son cooperating with the foundation
must agree that "any invention discovery
or finding resulting" would become "the
property of the United States" and be
patented by the government.

THE Detroit Tigers won the Ameri-
L can League pennant finally by
the skin of their teeth. They did win
it though.
They were not rained into the
championship, as it seemed they
might be. Neither did they back in,

recently.
Over in st. Louis yesterday, they
were strictly on their own.
And with the chips down, they
delivered spectacular ninth inning

Detroit evening times., 1945-10-02
Newspaper Week

There are very good reasons for
this notable exception.
For American newspapers are
radically different than those of
other countries.
They are, in fact, much more than
mere pieces of paper on which are
printed facts and opinions. They
are fundamentally the voice of the
people and the portrait of their
world.
Not of this particular kind or set
of people, nor of the other, but of
ALL THE PEOPLE.
The voice and portrait of the
orderly and creative tumult, some
times in agreement, sometimes in
dissent, which characterizes the
progress of vital and dynamic
society. .
60 THAT, in observing Newspaper
- Week, Americans will not be re-
stricting their attention to the pro-
fessional or technical achievements
of publishers or editors, reporters
or photographers alone.
They will instead be rendering
tribute to the national spirit which,
stimulated and shaped by free
press, itself provides the press with
the strength, understanding and
conviction to preserve that freedom,
to demand and guarantee it.
American journalism cannot wish
for a greater reward or recognition
than that it's unity of interest with
the people, and it's fitness to advance
the interest of the people, is being
acknowledged in the form of a popu-
lar mandate to carry on with a job
we'll done.
Detroit evening times., 1945-10-02

A MERICANS will observe News
"A paper Week this year under the
slogan "a free press Special events
throughout the nation will commem-
crate and emphasize the function of
journalism in a society whose self
reliance in freedom has largely been
promoted by untrammeled expires.
sion of opinion and unhampered
dissemination of information.
Oct. 1-8 is the period set aside
for the observance.
History affords no better justifi
cation of free press than the record
of American journalism during the
past few years, to cite only one era
out of an honorable history.
ONLY in America during the tragic
" days of the war, was there free
press. Only in America were news
papers so strong and so dependable,
so unquestionably patriotic and so
completely integrated into the ma
tional consciousness that, in the
travail of a struggle for national ex
istence, they preserved alone among
the journals of the world the right
and privilege of honest and intelli-
gent opposition.
Only in America did they deserve
the high trust of voluntary censor
ship.
Only in America did they speak
primarily for the people.
Only in America did they publish
those truths that were too bitter or
too disheartening for the press of
other countries to let their peoples
know.
Only in America did newspapers
become part of the national arsenal
in terms of intelligence and informa.
ton, of leadership and of social
service

THAT fact will afford relief to the
L legions of Detroit rooters who
remained steadfast in their loyalty
through topsy-turvy season OF

Indeed, Detroit fans deserved
that pennant as much as did the ball
players.

their Tigers through the World
