Mr. President. on July 6 a letter appeared in the New York Times by Alfred Berzins. a former Minister in the last free Latvian Government. discussing the tragic situation of the peoples of the Baltic lands. Overrun by the Soviet Union. persecuted under the iron yoke of communism. and then brutally deported to Siberia hnd other parts of the Soviet Union. the Baltic peoples have suffered deeply under communism. Yet. Soviet exploitation has not succeeded in killing the vivid spark of national consciousness and love of freedom among the Baltic peoples. Moscows harsh colonialist policy toward Latvia. Lithuania. and Estonia should be dramatic proof to all the peoples of the world that Soviet imperialism remains a tremendous threat to the rights and dignities of individuals.
