Happiness? It is an illusion TO
think that more comfort means
more happiness. Happiness comes
of the capacity to feel deeply, to
enjoy simply, to think freely, to
risk life, to be needed.-Storm

the Baltic DIP camps in Germany
and in Austria have proven that no
fascist, national-socialist or falan-
gist party ever existed in single
Baltic republic. Even under the
German occupation there was never
a Baltic nazi party, nor were Bal
tic citizens ever admitted to the
German national socialist party. The
Baltic refugees and displaced per-
sons have been prosecuted by both
conquerors because of their demo-
cratic political views.
NO PEACE FROM THE RUSSIANS
In accordance with memorandum
No. 80 dated Oct. 80, 1945, of the
Supreme Headquarters of the AL
lied Expeditionary Forces, citizens
of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia
could not be forcibly repatriated,
for the territories of these coun-
tries were not part of the U.S.S.R.
as of Sept. 2, 1899, and later politi-
cal and territorial changes in the
Baltic were recognized neither by
the United States nor Great Britain.
However. as the Soviet Union con-
siders Estonians, Latvians and Lith-
uanians to be Soviet citizens, Soviet
liaison officers were granted the
right to visit DIP assembly centers
to persuade the Baltic refugees ac-
commodated there to return to their
native land. This action had very
little success; according to official
data not quite 2 percent of the 62-
600 Latvians in the American zone
had returned by the end of 1945,
and those who returned to the us
.S.R. were mostly from former con-
centration camps. Still smaller IS
the number of Latvian displaced
persons who had repatriated from
the British zone: they were prin-
cipally prisoners of war who had
become weak in their long impri-
sonment and who had wives and
children left in Latvia. 1t should
be observed that the Baltic organi-
cations have never issued any pro-
paganda against repatriation.
Frustrated by this failure, the
U.S.S.R. and it's satellites commenc-
ed Systematically to accuse the Bal
tic refugees remaining in Germany
of being fascists, war criminals and
anti Russian. In this respect they
were assisted by the German press,
which thereby hoped to free Ger
many of foreigners and to reduce
in the eyes of the United Nations
the guilt of the German nation in
provoking the second World War.
When the Economic and Social Coun-
ell set up a Special Committee for
refugee and displaced person at
fairs, the bloc of states led by the
U.S.S.R. attempted to impose It's
view that after the defeat of Hitler
all displaced persons should return
to their homelands with the excep-
ton of Jews and Spanish leftists:
whoever refused to return was con-
sidered either a criminal" or an
"enemy of democracy" Apparently
the legal and material status of the
so-called "dissenters" in the DP
camps in Germany and Austria,
which already earlier had been very
precarious, began to deteriorate ra-
pidly after the demand of this bloc.

By Oswald A. Blumit
(Continued)

In the fall of 1889 the Soviet I'm
ION imposed upon the Baltic States
its military bases. During the con-
versations in the Kremlin with the
Latvian Foreign Minister, Stain on
Oct. 2, 1889 declared that "in regard
to the Baltic States our views do
not differ from those of Germany"
and "ass far as Germany is concern
ed we could occupy YOU" On June
l5-17, 1910, while the Western Demo-
cracies underwent their severest cr-
Sis on the front, the Soviet Union
by direct aggression occupied Lith-
uania, Latvia and Estonia with large
armed forces. During the first per-
iod of Bolshevik occupation, from
June 16, 1910, to June %, 1941, the
Baltic peoples experienced the first
act Of their national tragedy, when
total of 34,250 Latvians were de-
ported to Siberia, but documentary
evidence has been found showing
that it was further intended to de-
port about 100000 more Latvians.
Similarly scores Of thousands were
deported from Lithuania and Esto
MIA. From the discovered secret in
structions issued by the NKVD it is
evident that members of all political
parties were to be deported from the
Baltic States, not excluding the So
cial democrats; besides, all judges,
police and army officers, members
of religious societies and clergymen,
manufacturers, merchants, landown-
ers-even philatelists and those Es-
peranto speaking groups.
Banks, factories, buildings and real
estate were mercilessly nationalized,
lie. confiscated for the benefit of the
ruling communistic aristocracy; the
currencies were devaluated, and all
types of valuables (bank deposits,
machinery, raw materials, food stuff
were appropriated and taken to the
U.S.SR BY terroristic methods
dictatorship of the communist party
was established. Thousands of de-
signated "anti-soviet elements" were
arrested, murdered and secretly bur-
led in mass graves. Under such
circumstances 1920 Latvian citi-
zens in fear for their lives and TAX
ing advantage of the repatriation
treaty signed between Germany and
the U.S.S.R, in the beginning of
1941, sought haven even in Ger
many as political refugees, although
they were not supporters of the nazi
regime, for they had not responded
to Hitler's invitation to repatriate
in 1939-4O.
NAZIS TORTURED AND PUT TO
DEATH LATVIANS
The next act of the Baltic TRACE
dy took place under the German oc-
cupation from 1941 to 1945, when
the policy of annihilating the Baltic
nations was continued in the same
brutal manner and by the same
methods. Contrary to the Hague
Convention of 1907, both the Rus
sian and German authorities mobi-
lized Baltic citizens. In 1943 and
1914 the nazis, under penalty OF
court martial, forcibly drafted in
Latvia and into their army II con-

Communists FolloD
Creed of Destructioa

What is Communism, as exempli-
fed by members of the Communist
party in the United States? Some
say it is religion. Well. if the whirl-
ing dervishes are religious. so are
the Communists. They are certain
ly as fanatically devoted to their
creed. If the American people were
a little more familiar with that
creed, they would understand the
Communists better, and it is to be
remembered that that creed is more
than an Il believe" 1t is a set of
rules, and If you don't obey those
rules, your life is in danger. Com
munists don't believe in punishment
in future life. Their motto is do
it now" and they do it.
My attention has been directed re-
Gently to one paragraph in the Com
munist bible. resolution passed
and accc7ted and integrated into
the internationale. II explains just
what you can expect Of Communists
when they join a club, a union or
any international body. Expect no
more of them; no less. This is the
paragraph:
There can be no question Of
the utilization Of bourgeois gov
ernmental institutions except
for the purpose Of their destruc-
ton"
Many explanations have been Of
fered as to why normal, natural
born American should embrace
communism. The reasons range
all the way up and down the scale,
and include everything from a
broken heart TO some hidden neu-
rosis that makes other people nag
their husbands, maltreat their
wives. drink. kick the dog or Jump
into the river. But whatever the
urge is, ii has some strange effects
on the patient.
Take. for instance, that one-time
firebrand member OF the "Wob-
blies." Elizabeth Gurley Flynn.

A good American answer, I'd say.
And it serves to bring up the ques-
ton Of displaced persons in Europe,

Of the United States is mildly con-
cerned at present. Not as much

There are some II million persons
who were enslaved captured in war
or thrown into concentration camps
by the Nazis. who have been sent
home. and $4,000 others who, like
the alleged relative Of General
Eisenhower and many who have
escaped from under the iron cur
tain since the war, can never go
home for fear of political persecu-
ton in Soviet-controlled countries
where they would face slavery or
death. Fifty per cent of these still
in the camps are women and chill
dren. One-fifth are Jews.
Many DPS have skills and
are only too anxious 10 use
them. And there is room for

the place of the manpower
which has been drained from

into factories.
There are $1,000 DPS who are

You can reduce without tears
and without fads if you follow a
few basic rules, says Hildegardc
Fillmore. who tells you, in McCalp8
for February, how to keep well
nourished without adding unwant-
ed pounds:
'Most Of us eat too much in bulk,
though our meals may not always
. be adequate in nutrition. Cynics
say American women won't reduce
except by faddy diets. We don't be
leve this, but we do believe too
many diets are of the two-lamb-
chops-for-lunch, steak for dinner
school. These are absurd: first be-
cause they may not provide all of
the nutrients needed, and second
because meat is scarce, as all of US
know.
Eat a well-balanced diet. Daily
caloric intake should average about
1850 calories for the business girl,
1470 for the homemaker. If you
live at home, your first duty is to
keep your larder stocked with to-
mato juice, canned fruits and vege-
tables, salad dressing, for which
recipe is given below. Watch the
amounts you eat because it is the
size of the portions that counts.
Eat three meals day but nothing
in between. Say no to fried foods,
~gravies and rich desserts. Don't
eat two starchy vegetables at any
meal.
k"Don't try to lose more than two
pounds week. This way your new
habits are acquired gradually, witt

week, stripped. if possible, on the
