The United Nations in its basic documents sets forth a Declaration of Human Rights which describes the fundamental privileges which are due to every Individual from a state in which he lives. These include the rights of assembly. of free elections and of freedom of worship. Most importantly. they include the right to move freely over the borders for emigration or temporary visiting. In a meeting recently with Soviet leaders in the Kremlin itself I urged the desirability of making the rights described in the Declaration available to the people of Lithuania and I urge the same course today. If the rulers of the U.S.S.R. had the courage to carry out such reforms there would be no need for selfimmolation to demonstrate the plight of a country and there would be no need of mass demonstrations to proclaim the frustrations of a people restrained against their will.
