Since June of 1940. Lithuania has been cruelly oppressed by the military occupation forces of Soviet Russia. Through extermination and deportation. this courageous nation has lost more than onefourth of its entire population. At least 20 percent of the present inhabitants are Soviet colonists. Almost onethird of all Lithuanians live abroad. Over a million have chosen America as their refuge. When one considers that those who were murdered and deported have been the strongest elements of the country. this population loss would strike a fatal blow at the chance of survival of the Lithuanian nation if it were not for the courage and sacrifice of its patriots. Mr. President.
