tions of such plan are found ir
a communication from Stockholm
on August Is, 1914, announced by
the Swiss Telegraphic Agency:
"From a confidential conversa
ton between a local diplomat anG
a, member of the Soviet Legation
in Stockholm it follows that the So,
Wet Union plans to execute trans.
fer of population within the limits
of it's territory on mass scale.
For that purpose the Supreme So.
Wet of the u. S. S. R. made legal
basis some time ago in enacting q
law concerning the transfer of Ger.

Siberia determined in advance. The
Soviet diplomat gave the impress.
sion that such transfer is envisagec
in the first place for all those ma.
tions which in the course of the
present war came into contact with
the, Germans. It was the desire of
the Soviet Union that inhabitants
of her border-lands should be pure
Russian.
This communication was publish.
ed by the entire Swiss press al
that time. Again, on January Is
1945, the Swiss paper Tribune dc
Geneve carried an article describing
the decision of the U. S. S. R. gov
ernment to deport the Baltic peo-
Piles to Siberia. Such an action
said the paper, shows that the So
Wet Union is perpetrating the poll
cy of the fait accompli without
consideration of her Allies.
There are grounds for the feal
that the Soviets are preparing to
exterminate the entire Lithuanian
nation. This would be a continual
ton of the classification polices OF
the Russian czars. Car Alexander
II, for instance, appointed Murray,

SOVIETIZATION AND
COLONIZATION

At present the Soviet regime is
busy with the confiscation of priva-
tely owned land and it's distribu-
ton among "proletarians" most of
whom are Russians from Soviet
Russia. According to the broad
cast delivered on January 7, this
"agrarian reform, which would be
"a just restoration of the property
rights of the proletarians" was to
be completed before February /,
1945. The swift completion of the
reform" was said to be matter
of honor among the Bolsheviks
since in this manner "the power
of nationalist elements would be
crushed. In a broadcast of jan
uary it was mentioned that al
ready 37,O74 collective farms had
been enlarged by total of 226,564
hectares of land.
From various sources come re-
ports that the mass deportation of
Lithuanians to the interior of Rus
sia is fact. According to radio
broadcast, the Soviet quisling JUS
tinas Paleckis stated that recently
$4,000 Lithuanians voluntarily left
their country for reconstruction
work in U. S. S. R." There is no
doubt that these people were SIM
ply deported to the depths of Rus
sia just as tens of thousands were
deported for similar slave work in
Siberia in 1940-41. 1t is inconceiv-
able that any Lithuanian should
voluntarily choose to do recon-
struction work in the u. S. S. R.
when there is plenty of such work
to be done at home.
These new deportations are, nc
doubt, preceding according to a
preconceived Soviet plan to trans
fer the entire Lithuanian population

PROPAGANDA FOR COMMUNISM

Mass Transportations of Lithuanians to Siberia

retary of the party, in reporting on
achievements in Lithuania had ex-
pressed severe criticism of some
Commisariats, and of the chiefs of
many institutions for their negli-
gence in coping with non-Commu-
mist elements. Snieckus demanded
that only Communists, Red parti-
sans, and trusted war veterans be
engaged in public service.
The representative of the Viii
MUS branch of the party continued
in the same vein and insisted on
the dismissal of all officials and
clerks who did not belong to the
party. Assistant Head Commissar
Mamayev said in his address that
he fully supported these sugges-
tions and that he was greatly dis
turbed by the acts of sabotage that
had been committed in many insti-
tutions.
Additional speakers criticized the
party for neglecting the real Com
munists in the appointment of Of
ficials, and abused Lithuanian pat
riots for their "lack of cooperation"
The firm determination to liquidate
the recalcitrant groups of the po-
pulation was clearly marked in all
the speeches and in the decisions
made by the conference.

these threats from which there is
no possibility of escape, may easily
be imagined.
Soviet radio broadcasts from Viii
MUS in January, 1945, instructed
members of the Communist party,
especially teachers and chiefs of all
institutions, to increase pro-Com-
munist propaganda. The teachers
were entrusted with the task of in
Spring the youth with more love
for Soviet Russia. They were in
structed to tell their pupils stories
of Communist heroes which would
instill the spirit of self-sacrifice.
Schoolboys were to be urged to
write compositions on Communist
martyrs who had been executed by
their enemies. Everyone was
there to be convinced that only the
support of Communist ideology
could be called real patriotism

Lithuanian teachers were censured
for their recalcitrance. 1t was said
that they were not sufficiently ac-
tive in eradicating the bourgeois
spirit from their pupils. "Com-
munist Youth Circles, which should
be organized in the schools, would
help the teachers in their task, said
the broadcast. The announcer pro-
posed that Communist magazines
should be printed and that there
should be one published for the
teachers and one for the students.
All schools, he said, should be
turned into 'forges of Communism.

BETTER HEALTH
: BY DR.. Herman Bundesen

CINCE 1899 epidemies of eye
~ diseases which are similar in
nature 10 each other have been
described. However. IN 1888, IL
would appear that an epidemic
of an eye condition called kera-
to-conjunctivitis began in Ma
faya. spreading from Malsys 10
Hawaii, and then 10 the United
States, Just how kcratocUn-
iunctNius IS spread IS not
known.
The signs and symptoms OF
the disease are like those Of any
other acute inflammation OF the
lining membrane over the eye
ball. In the first stage there IS
a feeling as If something is IN
the eye with moderate itching
and burning The upper lid be-
comes swollen and the lining
membrane is Redeemed and con-
ceSted. The eye often feels en-
larged and many OF the patients
complain Of pain and discomfort
on moving the eyeball.
After about two days the con-
dition becomes worse. The red
ness and swelling increase and
the lymph glands in front Of the
car enlarge. Al tins time, also,
there may be symptoms affect
ing the nose and throat with a
feeling OF scratchlness in the
throat. In some cases. actual
inflammation of the throat has
been noted. Watering OF the
eyes occurs and often the tears
are bloodstained Frequently
there are small hemorrhages
into the lining membrane OF the
Eve.
I'm the next stage OF kerato-
TnjunctitivtiS, there may be
changes in the front part Of the
eyeball or cornea. This causes
some blurring of the eyeSight.
and some pain or discomfort
when the eyes are exposed 10
light. The cornea may be so
damaged that scars form on IT
which means that the light rays
passing into the eye will be OBJ
Structed.
Up TO the present no treat
ment which is particularly ef-
fective has been found for kera-
toconjunctivitiS. A number Of
things have been tried such as
sulfathiazole ointment and peni-
cillin. Another germ-killing SUBJ
