V. Conclusion.
As a result of World War II France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Holland, Denmark, Norway and Greece have been liberated from their enemies and have gained their freedom and sovereignty. On the contrar
In Latvia the destruction of the economical, social and cultural order, of religious and moral life is going on uninterruptedly, the inhabitants continue to be robbed of their material and cultural values and even to be exterminated and replaced by a racially alien type of men coming from the East. There is no doubt that, should the Bolshevist occupation last for long, Latvians, Estonians and Lithuanians will'be exterminated and soon disappear entirely, to be mentioned only by historians in their books.
If during 1939/40 the Bolsheviks put forth the argument that the Baltic States were weak and that the Soviet Union's duty was to protect them against the West, then with the defeat of Germany this argument has lost its essence, and even from the point of view as advanced by the Bolsheviks themselves there is no longer any reason for the occupation of the Baltic States.
Therefore, th
Insist that Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania should be LIBERATED from the inhuman Bolshevik yoke and their independence re-established; Use all means at their disposal to end the dreadful terror and the extermination of the Baltic Nations and 28 Take measures as to enable Latvians, Estonians and Lithuanians already deported to the Soviet Union, but still alive and decaying in prisons or concentration camps to return home or to emigrate.
Will listen to the SOS call sent by Latvians, Lithuanians and Estonians, from the other side of the Iron Curtain; Will not remain indifferent spectators, but bravely and decidedly raise their voices for the right cause of the Baltic Nations who without any fault of their own got into the power of the Soviets, are enduring intolerable sufferings and are facing complete annihilation; Will achieve liberation of these Nations from Soviet tyranny and regain their liberty and national independence.
September 1948.
