The next day the Communists announced the absurd results: 95.1 percent of the eligible voters had voted. 99.19 percent of these voted for the Communist Party. Also it was claimed no complaints of voting irregularity were received. One wonders why they even bothered with such a farce. This is only a small part of the tragic story of one of many nations seized by communism. Conditions have grown worse in Lithuania. freedom is little nearer than it was in 1940. A third of the population has been murdered or deported. Surely in Lithuania. independence day dawns on a gray scene. But we must encourage the spark of freedom which still burns in Lithuanian hearts.
