The present condition of the Lithuanian nation is a reminder to all of us that better than half of the peoples of this world now live under intolerable conditions. Their basic Godgiven rights to a free existence are denied to them. No more striking example of this enslavement of millions of peoples exist than what has only recently been written into the pages of historythe days of June 15 and 16 in the years 1940 and 1941 when over 60.000 free Lithuanians were forceably deported to slave labor camps and untold miseries in the vast stretches of the Siberian subcontinent. This deportation took place under the orders and rule of the Soviets. If any proof is needed of the ruthlessness and the evils of communism. this act of barbarism is here for all the world to see. We live in an age of the cold waran age wherein we must be constantly on the alert at a time when the forces of freedom are sorely tried throughout the world.
