Conference will restore the small

A MISSION FOR THE RESTORATION
OF LITHUANIA AS A FREE AND
INDEPENDENT NATION
Speech of Honorable Martin Gorski of Illinois
in the House of Representatives on March %, 1945

Mr.. GORSKI. Mr.. Speaker, there
are here in Washington today a
gathering Of prominent Americans
of Lithuanian ancestry, among
them over 100 service mems moth
ers, all of them leaders in their
communities. Their mission is to
call upon the President and the
Secretary of State to urge them to
help restore Lithuania as a free
and independent nation.
Mr.. Speaker, the war news from
Europe in the past few weeks is
very encouraging and we hope the
defeat and unconditional surrender
of the Axis Powers is not far away.
The end of the. war will bring up
many questions which have to be
settled after hostilities cease. One
of the important questions in which
millions of people are interested in
is What is to become of the small
nations, particularly nations like
brave Lithuania, Latvia, and Esto-
MIA, about whose fate we have not
heard anything said, and gallant
and courageous Poland.
Among the Declaration of Prin-
ciples of the Atlantic Charter which
outlines the aims of Great Britain
and the United States in the war
as proclaimed by President Roose-
velt and Prime Minister Churchill
are THAT they desire to see no
territorial changes that are not in
accord with the freely expressed
wishes Of the people concerned"
ant another provision is 'Tnat they
respect the right of all people to
choose the form of government un-
der which they will live and they
wish to see sovereign rights and
self-government restored to those
who have been forcibly deprived of
them.
Former Secretary of State, Hon.
Dirva = Field. [volume] (Cleveland, Ohio) 1915-current, 1945-04-13

the terrible hardships of this war.
The Americans of Lithuanian des-
cent who number over million of
our people, havs contributed their
share towards making our nation
the greatest country in the world.
They work in our factories, in the
mines and on the farms. They are
enterprising and Industrious. They
rank high in the professional and
business life of our nation.
They have responded patriotically
to every effort in helping to win
this war and many thousands of
their sons and daughters are serving
in our armed forces. In nearly every
home, there is service flag in the
window. They dearly love freedom
and liberty, for they know from the
sufferings of their people what a
priceless possession these liberties
are.
They are fighting this war to rid
the world of Fascism and Nazizm
and all aggressors. They want to
see all the nations, large and small,
have the right to govern and rule
themselves. / know it is the fervent
hope and prayer of many millions
of those who have suffered the tor
lures of this war in the oppressed
countries, and many millions of
c<lr own citizens, that when this
