I have something more than a passing interest in this subject. due to the fact that in 1921 and 1922 I was attending school in central Europe. The places at which I attended school during that year are now likewise behind the Iron Curtain. At that time they were not. but Lithuania was. In 1921 there were many refugees from Lithuania in the part of central Europe where I was. and I heard with my own ears those recent refugees tell of the oppressions that existed when the Communist regime took over. The Communists had then been in control of Lithuania for only 2 or 3 years. So I salute Lithuania on their Independence Day.
