Some Common Misconceptions about the Baltic States
By J. KAJECKAS
Attache of the Lithuanian Legation in Washington.

MISCONCEPTIONS about the
Baltic States are numerous and
due, to large extent, to a
biased presentation of facts,
or even to deliberate misrep-
resentation intended to serve
special purposes. This is es-
pecially true as far as Lith-
uania is concerned, since she
is surrounded by three power
tul neighbors who have all
cherished, and some of whom
harbor even now, certain as
plrations toward the Lithuan-
ian nation and it's territory.
The purpose of this study
is to examine briefly, with a
special emphasis on Lithuania,
some of the current misconcep-
tions about the Baltic States,
which, in common usage and a
narrow sense, comprise Lith-
uania, Latvia, and Estonia.
MiscOnception on Racial, Cultu-
raj, and Historic Grounds
The three Baltic States are
situated along the eastern shore
of the Baltic Sea, bordered by
Germany, Poland, and the So
Wet Union. Their total popula-
ton formerly numbered about
seven million, while each one
of the States is larger in area
than some of the countries of
Western Europe.
Because the Baltic nations,
and especially Lithuania, are
geographically situated at the
crossroads between the Slavic
and Germanic worlds, and also
because they have been domi-
mated by, or associated with
one or the other of their great
neighbors in the past, the be.
lief that the Baltic peoples are
of Slavic or Germanic origin
is not uncommon. However
the Baltic peoples are distinc'
from both Slav and Teuton ir
racial origin, language. GUS
toms, and to a large extent
in religion as we'll.
The Baltic peoples have in
habited the shores of the Bal
tic (the name originates from
a Lithuanian-Latvian word, bal
tas, meaning "white') from
time immemorial, long before
the appearance of either SlaS
or Teuton in that part of the
world. The Lithuanians anC
the Latvians belong to the
Aestian branch of the Aryar
family, speaking tongues that
stem directly from ancient San.
Skirt, to which they are more
closely related than is any 9th.
er spoken European language
The Roman historian Tacitus
writing about the Lithuanians
and related tribes as early as
the first century, AID, refers
to them as "Aestiorum Gen
tes." The Estonians belong
to the Finno-Ugrian racial ma
tionalities or group.
Lithuania is not a creation
of the Versailles Treaty. She
has existed as a unified state
since the beginning of the 18th
century. In the Middle Ages,
at the height of her power

to the Black Sea. By the I'm
ion of Lublin in 1869, Lithua-
MIA entered into a federal union
with Poland. In the Lithuan-
ian-Polish Commonwealth, how
ever, she retained a separate
government, separate legislative
and judicial systems, code of
laws, treasury, army, and her
own coat of arms. The Con-
stitution of May 3, 1871, did
not alter her individual status,
as is evident from laws enact=
ed after that date.
Lithuania did not acquiesce
in the loss of her independence
which occurred as a result of
the partitions of the Lithuan-
ian-Polish Commonwealth. She
revolted against Czarist Rus
sia in 1894, 1912, 1881, 1853
1864, and 1904-19O5. Russia,
in Furnishing Lithuania for the
1863-1864 revolt, treated that
country worse than she did any
other Russian-occupied terrific
nv in Eastern Europe. Russifi-
cation and oppression policies
were drastic. One such mea-
sure was the ban imposed on
the Lithuanian press, effective
for forty years (1864-l9o4.
The possession of even a prayer
book in the Lithuanian langu-
age was punishable by life i'm
prisonment or by exile to ST.
IBERIA.
In Latvia and Estonia, the
dominating influence of the
German Baltic barons was, to
la certain extent, manifest in
their history. However, this
was not true in Lithuania.
Territorial Conflicts
Vilnius (Vilna). Between the
two world wars, the most i'm
portant problem that dominat-
ed Lithuania's foreign policy
was that of the city and re-
gion of Vilnius. All Lithuan-
ian governments and Lithuan-
ians of all political beliefs con-
sidered Vilnius to be an integ-
raj part of the restored Lith-
uanian state on historic, ethnic
juridical, economic, and cultu-
raj grounds. Due to the in
famous coup of General Zeli-
gowski on October 9, 1920, Po-
land succeeded in occupying the
city and region of Vilnius in
direct violation of the Lithuan,
ian-Polish agreement signed at
Suvalkai only two days pre-,
viously. AS a, result of this
act of aggression, Lithua n
severed all relations with Po-
land. She refused to yield her
rights to Vilnius despite politl-
cal and economic pressure.
A mock "plebiscite" organ
lied in Vilnius by Zeligowski
in 1922 proved failure. Lith-
uanians, Jews, and White Ru-
thenians abstained from vot-

Garden Gr0Hb
Marks Birthday
With Luncheon

The months of the year were rep
resented colorfully at the birthday
luncheon Of the Capital division,
Woman's National Farm and Garden
Association, yesterday at the YWCA.
Each table was decorated in the
theme appropriate to the month it
represented. Christmas cards were
used as place cards at the December
table, where Santa drove his rein
deers through cotton snow and
skaters rollicked on mirror. In
contrast the July table decked with
American flags was a miniature
celebration of the Fourth with red
and white carnations as the CENTER
piece and flrecrackers at each place.
The other tables were as cleverly
decorated with May poles, spring
bouquets, pumpkin and turkey CEN
terpieces.
AS colorful as the luncheon was
the spring fashion show which fol-
lowed, featuring styles from local
dress shops, modelled by socially
prominent young women. including
Junior League members, and daugh-
tiers Of members of the organization
Miss Meredith Howard, president OF

to the group by Mrs. Robert D.

Striking indeed was Mrs. George
Nelson, wife OF the Municipal Court
judge, who designed her own CO.'S
tune and coiffure. The gown was
of violet color metallic cloth with
of shoulder bodice and narrow skirt
that swept out at the back in grace
full folds. Her dark hair likewise
was braided into coronet, and
woven in this were pearls that
matched triple choker.
Another costume that merited
high honors was worn by Sonora de
Heurtematte. wife of the CONNER
cial Counselor of the Panamanian
Embassy. The gown of white crepe
with square neckline was remarkable
for its smart drapery, and white
flowers were worn like halo across
the back of her pompadoured hair.

with wide skirt set of Mile. Gisele

A record attendance at a piano
recital by Mexican pianist Carlos
Vazquez, last night at the Pan
American Union, was just another
proof that society doesn't spend all
its time at pink teas. A thousand
cards of admission were sent to
those who accepted the invitation
OF the Mexican Ambassador and
Sonora de los Monteros to hear
their countryman perform, and
when every seat in the Hall OF
Americas was taken, attaches sour
ried about for more.
Senor Vazquez, who is a hand
some youth Of Is, has been a pupil
of Claudio Arrau and Egon Petri.
After his outstanding performance
last night, he was guest Of honor
at reception given by his hosts in
the Chinese room Of the Mayfiower.
The Mexican and United States
flags, against the deep green walls
in this room, made a gay back
ground for the receiving line, and
these colors were repeated in the
flowers and candles on the buffet
table. The hostess was in white, a
modish gown. embroidered with
crystal beads. Cocktails were passed
AS the guests assembled and cham
pagne was served later when they
got together around small tables
for the elaborate supper.
Last night the most remarkable
coiffure unquestionably was that OF
Mrs. Jose Colon. whose husbands s
