Soviet Russia practices this repression of the Lithuanian people. but in the next breath pledges her undying devotion to the cause of freedom for oppressed and exploited peoples everywhere. We must not cease to make this hypocrisy clear. The Lithuanian people have never surrendered themselves to communism. Ever since the end of World War Ii. they have resisted Communist attempts to Sovietize their country. Great numbers of Lithuanians were deported and there were largescale movements of Russians into Lithuania. The Soviet Union attempted to collectivize the Lithuanian farms. Any celebration of the Lithuanian Independence Day was forbidden and the flag of free Lithuania could not be displayed.
