President. today is the 52d anniversary of the Declaration of the Independence of the Republic of Estonia. yet another Baltic state like Latvia and Lithuania. cruelly stripped of her freedom by the force of Communist aggression and violence. Hardly an American Estonian has been spared personal suffering from the terror of Russian domination of his homeland. Friends and relatives trapped by the seizure of Estonia in 1940 have been subjected to Soviet Russificatlon programs of expropriation. pauperization. deportation. and. the ruthless suppression of all basic human rights. The United States has steadfastly refused .to. recognize any legality in the Russian control of the Baltic States. We continue to recognize the legitimate representatives of Estonia.
