If we can urge the nations of Africa to develop as democratic nations. if we can spend millions of dollars to support democracies in South America. if we can actively participate in an armed conflict on the continent of Asia to preserve the sovereignty of countries there. then certainly we must continue to aid and nourish the flame of freedom that still burns among the proud peoples of Estonia. Latvia. and Lithuania. Even after Stalins horrible answer to the Baltic problemthe mass deportation and execution of hundreds of thousands of peoplethe desire for the democratic way of life is very much alive. Although there has not been a free election there since before 1940. although all religious and political leaders thought to be dangerous to the Soviet regime have either mysteriously disappeared or been deported to Siberia. the Balkan peoples. both those in their native countries and those displaced around the world. still fervently cling to the hope of freedom and the promise of democracy for Estonia. Latvia. and Lithuania. We can do no less than pledge our full support.
