selves got rid of the German oc-
cupants. As a result of hard fight
ing for their independence, against
both the Russians and the Germans,
the Baltic peoples became the true
masters of their countries. The
case is very different when Soviet
help is involved; nations and states
are then liberated, not only from
the enemy, but from their indepen-
dence and their freedom as we'll.
3. The Baltic peoples had no de-
sire to come under the rule of Mos
cow, no more than has any free ma
ton anywhere, not even the Slavic
and Communist Yugoslavia of Tito.
Baltic-Soviet "unity" was and is
dictated and imposed "unity" of the
Hitler Hacha type. The Baltic coun-
tries did not "fight for unity with
the Russian Soviet Republic" any
more than the conquered Czechs or
Norwegians fought for Nazi Ger
many. If some Lithuanian deportee
slaves in Siberia were forced into
a Russian uniform, the number Of
such Lithuanians was far less pro-
portionately than that Of Russians
under General Vlasov on the Nazi
side.
4. The sympathy for, and support
of, Lithuania shown by the British
and French in her struggle against
the Soviet hordes was genuine. Those
countries never stopped to the lib
Grafton" methods used by the So
viets in countries now behind the
Iron Curtain.
5. The American Gov r m n
could not and did not consider the
Baltic States as being part of the
Soviet Republic "after the Soviet
Revolution" for the simple reason
that the United States recognized
the Soviet Union only as late as
1884. that is, dozen years after
the recognition Of the Baltic States
by the United States. AS to the
words of American statesmen cited
in this connection, we would refer
our readers to quotations contained
in the article "Outline of Lithuanian
American Relations" in our Bulletin
No z 19) of July %, 1912.
6. We have frequently commented,
in previous issues of this Bulletin
on the alleged desire of the Baltic
States to "join" the USSR and have
proved this claim to be an outright
falsehood. No nation outside the
borders of Soviet Russia ever joined
the Soviet Union voluntarily. NO
power ever set up puppet govern
ment in Lithuania except the So
viets, who used this means, not in
order to help the Lithuanian people
rid themselves of any so-called die
tatorship," but in order to impose
on them the bloodiest rule the world
has ever known. At the present
time, the Baltic States nave peen
"swallowed," not by "the Nazi pow
err" but, on Moscow's orders, by the
aggressive and imperialistic "glor-
ious Red Army.
7. No Overwhelming majority"
of the Baltic displaced persons IN
Western Europe ever indicated
desire to return to their Soviet oc-
cunied homelands. If the displaced
Balts had ever expressed desire
to be repatriated, nobody would have
stopped them. UNRRA actually en-
couraged, not discouraged, the re-
patriation of DPS. 1t is not only
the displaced Balts who do not want
to return; even Russian citizens
themselves desert their Communist

ington, D.C), appeared an article
entitled "On the Baltic Countries
and DPS" written, by Theodore
Bayer, allegedly in answer to some
questions put by correspondent
of that magazine.
In that article we note the follow
ing assertions, among others:
Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia were
part of Russia before 1917. The
German armies overran the Baltic
countries when the -. Soviet state -.
could not defend them. The people
of these Baltic countries desired
unity with the Russian Soviet Re-
public and fought for it,. The AL
lies, primarily Britain and France,
requested the continuance of the
German occupation and helped to
smash the newly created Soviets in
the Baltic States.. The American
Government even...after the Soviet
Revolution. considered Lithuania, Lat
via and Estonia part of the Soviet
Republic.
The Soviet Union never "recaptur-
ed" these countries. Those countries
joined the Soviet Union at the first
opportunity. shake off the petty
relationships that were set up by
the Nazi power to rule over them.
In 1889 the mutual assistance pact.
protected them from being swallow
ed up by the Nazi power complete
ly.
The red Army together with the
people Of these Republics fought
and defeated the German invaders
and reestablished the Baltic Soviet
Republics as part Of the Soviet Un-
ion.
The overwhelming majority of the
displaced persons from the Battles
have indicated their desire to return
to their native countries. Citizens
of the Baltic Soviet Republics have
protested that their relatives are
held in DIP camps against their will.
These camps are mainly in the
charge of British authorities, who
have put many difficulties in the
way of epatriation...etc
Included in the article are also
hackneyed samples of Bol S h ev k
propaganda about allegedly free cleo
tions in the Baltic States, the so
called request" of Lithuania, Lat
via, and Estonia to join the So
Wet Union, etc. In some cases the
author attempts to base his argu-
ment on quotations from the words
of American statesmen.
This article is typical of Soviet
prevarication. Almost every sem
tence contains a distortion Of the
truth and of facts; the article as
whole constitutes an outrageous and
clumsy lie.
We wish to make the following
observations with reference to this
article:
/. Lithuania was independent for
five centuries before falling a VIC
tim to Russian tsarist aggression
at the end Of the eighteenth CEN
tury, owing to the unholy Russian
German conspiracy of that time :.
just as the Baltic States fell victim
to Soviet aggression in 1910 because
of a similar Nazi-Soviet conspiracy.
2. 1t is true that the Soviet State
could not defend the Baltic States
Just as it could not defend them in
the face of German attack in 1941.
What the Soviets were incapable OF
doing after 1917, the Baltic states
did without their help; they them
