protest the absorption by force

tries into the Union of Soviet

THE BALTIC NATIONS

Russia has formally subscrib-
ed to the Atlantic Charter; has
confirmed her adherence with
all other United Nations in
Washington on January 1st,
1912; has entered into the 20
years alliance with Britain on
the basis of the principles enun-
ciated in the declaration made
on August 18th, 1941 by the
President of the United States
of America and the Prime Min
lister of Great Britain to which
the Government of the Union
of Socialist Soviet Republics
has adhered. Ant yet there
remains one question, put by
Russia herself: the Baltic ques-
ton. The fate of Estonia, Lat.

of the League of Nations, is
in the balance. They may b,

THE PERISCOPE
By SARUNAS.

IHE present regime In Llth-
uanla, according to all reliable
reports, feels itself very inse-
cure, and, therefore maintains
itself by instilling fear. This
fear, as Winston Churchill re-
Gently pointed out in speech,
is a fear that hangs over all of
Russian dominated territories.
It consists of a fear that the
secret armed police will sudden
ly appear at the door, arrest
anybody without a warrant.
spirit the prisoners away and
keep them without trial or
charges, just on the whim of
a commissar, or a police Off
cial. 1t is inconceivable that
such a regime can last very
long. It's not American, and
it's not democratic.
VERY few reports appear in
the Lithuanian papers about
how Lithuanian Americans and
Lithuanians in Europe plan to
bring to worlds attention the
tragic and undeserved plight of
unhappy Lithuania.
THE Current News on the
Lithuanian Situation goes into
it's 66th issue on June, 1916,
and contains a very interesting
article on Lithuanians and their
claims in East Prussia. The
Current News is published by
the Lithuanian Legation in our
capitol. Among other items of
interest is the Lithuanian state
ment to the international Mill
tary Tribunal at Nuremburg,
and quotations from an article
in the New Leader of New York
I to the effect that Stain really
urged Hitler to begin the Eu-
ropean war, by signing with
him the famous Tor infamous)
non-aggression treaty, which di-
vided Europe.
THE United Lithuanian Re-
lief Fund of America is calling
a convention in New York for
September 2, 1916. This Fund
will receive no more money out
of the National War Fund, as
the latter has been dissolved.
The Lithuanian Americans will
have to maintain their Fund
by their own efforts from now
on. An interesting feature
of the convention will be a re-
port by the Chairman of the
Fund, Father Koncius, who has
toured all the Lithuanian re-
fugee camps in Europe.
THE Lithuanian Merchant
Marine had a fleet of Fl ships,
9 motor vessels and AT barges,
in 1910. After Russian confis-
cations and war destruction,
there now remain only two ships
- two motor vessels, and one
barge.
DURING a series of rallies
in July, Senator Walsh, Sena-
tor Hawkes., Congressman Hart
ley and O'Konski spoke to Lith-
uanian Americans and express
