The reforms of the epoch between the wars. the advances in every field of endeavor came to naught as the citizens of Lithuania. Latvia. and Estonia were made prisoners of the Soviet dictatorship. Where once democracy had flourished. now a heartless totalitarian society repressed all creative endeavor. for criticism and the incentive to improve became crimes punishable by arrest and deportation. But let us hope that it will not always be so. In extending our sympathy to the thousands of Baltic citizens brutally forced from their homelands by the Soviets and to the thousands of others who live in terror of the same fate. let us assure them of our support for their cherished cause of liberation.
