The Americans of Lithuanian descent have themselves done much to make our own Nation a land of the free. a home of the brave. In this connection. while commemorating this week. we should remember that we. and free people everywhere. must always be on guard to protect established liberties and to do the just thing. The act of an arm of our Government in permitting the forcible removal of the Lithuanian seaman Simas Kudirka from an American vessel must be remembered as a mar on Americas record as a nation of refuge. All Americans descend from either immigrants or refugees. In remembering the anniversary of Lithuanian independence. let us all rededicate ourselves to the cause of liberty everywhere.
