Lithuanians made great progress in education. literature. the arts. and in social and labor legislation. However. since the Communist takeover. we have had a general lack of information as to the status of the Lithuanian people because of the censorship and propaganda of the Soviet Union. It is known that a number of natives have fled their country or have been deported from Lithuania and those who remain do not have the same freedom which they enjoyed during the 1920s and 1930s. Since July 27. 1922. the United States has officially recognized Lithuania as an independent nation. It has never recognized this nations incorporation into the Soviet Union.
