Monday the "A" team defeated
what was supposed to be strong
Holy Rosary team 51-17. It may
be interesting to note that this was
the same Holy Rosary team they
beat by only six points in an earlier
game. I guess things don't look
too bad for the coming Dubois tilt.
Minotis, Perulis and O'Britis all
scored over ten points.

TEST CASE FOR A DURABLE
PEACE

NCoHIlnueQ from last week.
TEST CASE FOR A DURABLE
PEACE
THE Baltic Republics constitute
a test case as to whether a just and
durable peace can be established.
Russia has formally subscribed to
the Atlantic Charter, which declares
that - "they desire to see no ter
ritorial changes that do not accord
with the .freely expressed wishes of
the peoples concerned; they respect
the right of all peoples to choose
the form of government under which
they will live; and they wish to see
sovereign rights and self-govern-
ment restored to those who have
been forcibly deprived of Them"
Nothing less than these principles
can be the foundation of lasting
peace. To these binding declara-
tions, Russia has subscribed on
several occasions. If they are ig-
nored in the case of six million
people of Estonia, Lithuanian and
Latvia, then we can only predict
complete failure of the unprincipled
appeasement expediency. The an
nexation Of the Baltic States, the
execution Of Mihailovich, the BIZ
ding of the Poles, the subjugation
of other surrounding satellite coun-
tries; and many other concessions
secured, will not permanently satisfy
Russia. In her own time, she will
emerge to conquer the world for her
way of life, just as sure as Hitler
struck in September of 1889.
If there still is such thing as
international morality and justice,
then Russia's military strength must
be subordinate to moral law and
rights of her smaller neighbors. The
moral rights of the Baltic people
are closely interviewer with the fate
and rights of all nations and the
mankind itself. Mothers of America
did not send their sons to lay the
continent waste, to kill and to Grip
pie millions, just for power politics,
for conquest, for annexation, for the
partitioning of countries and the es
tablishment of spheres of influence.
May T Quote here a statement of
| Britain's wartime Prime Minister,
Winston Churchill, who in his vic
tory speech on May Is, 1915, said
the following:
"On the continent of Europe, we
have yet to make sure that the SIM
pie and honorable purposes for which
we entered the war are not brushed
aside or overlooked in the months
following our success and that the
| words freedom and Democracy and
| liberation are not distorted from
their true meaning as we have un-
derstood them There would be lit
tie use in Furnishing the Hitlerites
lOI ClelI CIiAleS IL law anu JuoIiSS
did not rule and if totalitarian or
police governments were to take the
place of the German invaders
Does not that mean that radical,
economic, political and strategic"
forces and factors must not over
whelm, justice, which should be one
, alike to all. How does Russia's an
nexation of the Baltic Republics diff

WHAT'S NEW?
(In Cleveland)

BOWLING
: OMARLO'S hoped on the tobog-
gan again and loosened two fing-
ers of their grip on first place.
Joe's Bar busted their alleys for
two wins and allowed Sukys to
climb within one game of first
place. Sukys dumped Lasnik's 3
out of to get there, and expect to
have an easy time with the cow
boys next week. We wonder
but anyway it's another fight for
first. Parker's got back in the
winning column by sitting on the
engineers from Tri-Vets twice. To
wind up things Brazis Clothes got
dumped three times by Lemons.
Jakubs beat Trees twice and Dun
bars tangled with the Lith. Club.
BASKETBALL
The big news for this week els
that our teams take off to play the
red hot Dubois Lifts on the 3lst
of January, and to complete the
cycle, the Lifts will come down here
the 7th of February. The latter
date happens to be the same as the
Ladies Auxiliary Dance so let's take
advantage of the bargain and go te
two events for the price of one.
Last week the boys started tt
sharpen up for their tilt with Du
Bois by taking a fast st. Thoma:
| five by some odd points. Johr
Minotis and Ed O'Britis were th'
big guns and provided most of tn
points.
The "B" outfit stuck to the VIII
column and buried st. Columbkill'

A SAGA Of the Baltic People
Some Facts You Should Know about the
Baltic People

~
churia? If international morality
and the rights Of smaller and defen-
seless peoples are ignored, then
certainly there shall emerge powers
of evil, greater even than those of
Hitler and shall plunge the world
into the third World War, more ter
rible that the two that we had be-
fore. There are signs of such total
itarian powers of evil already form
ing.
They have not the least respect for
the sacredness of the individual hu-
man personality. Their persistent
purges, deportations, enormous slave
labor prison camps and tortures,
shielded by the secrecy of the 'iron
curtain" mock at the four freedoms.
The abuses against the Baltic peo-
Piles jeopardize the peace, because
peace without restoration of liberty
and independence also for Estonia,
Lithuanian and Latvia, is contra
diction in terms. 1t is impossible,
for it would be a travesty on inter-
national law and justice.
May God wipe away the tears and
hear the prayers of the stateless Bal
tic widows and orphans, who home
less roam through foreign, friend
less lands.
THE TRAGEDY OF THE
BALTIC PEOPLE
l have spent over three months
visiting camps for Displaced Per-
sons and other centers of the War
Prisoners and Baltic Refugees in
Scandinavia, England, France, Bel
gium and Denmark.
From the observations that | have
been able to make at the present
time the Baltic people are passing
through very dark period of slav-
ery and threatened annihilation. Yet,
was amazed that these suffering
Balts had so much courage and hope
left in this their present tragedy
and catastrophe. They are fortify-
ing themselves with the faith that
present ordeals and hardships will
eventually be rewarded, as the dark
est night invariably is followed by
the dawn.
One-half a million Battles left
their homes and fled toward the
advancing British and American ar
mics to escape the tragedy of 1941,
when over 10000 innocent and peace
loving Baltic working people, farm
ers and intellectuals, were tortured
and murdered by the Soviet NkVD
or deported to Siberian slave labor
camps, or other remote parts of the
Communist Empire. Most of those
who were deported have perished,
but those who still are alive, in their
sufferings, are jealous of their dead
compatriots.
These Baltic Displaced Persons
should never be compared Or con-
fused with ordinary war refugees,
who can return home. AS political
refugees, they would suffer severe
persecution and most likely an inn
mediate "liquidation" on their return.
Soviet authorities are eager for their
return and claim them as Soviet ci-
tizens. According to the Soviet Rus
sian Criminal Code, flight abroad
is treason, punishable with capital
punishments, while other members
of his family (as well as relatives)
are deported to slave labor camps,
which is just as bad.
Every Baltic Refugee is living
witness of the Bolshevik barbarism
shielded "behind the iron curtain" /"
Russians demand the return of these
refugees in order that they could be
exterminated and silenced forever.
