As victory against Germany was assured. the Russians quickly moved against Latvia. Lithuania. and Estonia. snuffing out any move toward independence. and reestablishing their strict prewar control. Again the deportations began. All enemies of the Statethat meant all who aspired after some sort of freedom from outside political controlwere packed off to Siberia. and almost certain death. Thus during a 5year period. through two mass deportation moves. untold thousands of free people were driven from their homelands. National independence was no more. it died through Russian power. that began with brute force 22 years ago this month. and is still going on today. I would like to discuss in this connection a measure I have introduced in the House.
