However. the Soviets do not wait for opportunity to arise when they want to accuse the United States of alleged crimes. They make the opportunity. Here we have clear cause for shocking the conscience of the world with irrefutable charges of Soviet injustice and brutalityof deportations. prison and slave camps. and woes of every description. visited upon peoples of the highest types. There are many persons of Lithuanian birth or ancestry in my own State of Maryland. and I can say. from my long and close association with them. that they. as a group. are as cultured. loyal. and industrious as the best of our citizenry anywhere. And the same applies to the fewer persons of Latvian or Estonian birth or ancestry in our State. The illegal absorption of their mother countries into the U.S.S.R.. with the accompanying repression. deportations. and ruthless military rule. was a crime that must not be allowed to endure for lack of attention to it. If the United States is to remain loyal to its own basic principles. it must not hesitate to proclaim to all the world just what occurred in these three Baltic countries. The Soviet action in these countries was a brazen instance of coldblooded. brutal contempt for human rights and international principles of conduct.
