That the triumph of language over ideals and customs pertaining tobirth has been beyond questiot established as complete and must he ouranswer to those apologists, the advocates of despotism, who plead forthe wisdon of their despotic Institutions and endeavor, 'with sacrilegiousfands, to foist upon out people the dreaded influence of political govern-inents whose falr is already written in the history of the times.

That to Insure the stecess of our great experitnent in free govern-ment it is peculiarly important that this great mass of people under theprotection of the Government must be fitted to play well their part ascitizens of the Republic.

That only by education can a full realization of the benefits of Ameri-canism be brought home to those wbo have sought refuge ant freedomfrom Injustice and violence it a strange land whose laws they do notnderstand and whose language to them is a foreign tongue, where theyare sit out from the family of man.

That It is tie duty of the Government to offer these people of foreignirth more than sympathy and consolation by endeavoring to promote

their rapid Americailzation.Wherefore your memorialist urgently urges the passage of biills now

pending which provide, in the interest of national unity, for the pronto-tion of the education of reildent persons unable to speak the Englishlanguage, and to that end enable tile State amd Federal Governments ,ocooperate in the promotion of the education of such persons in the Eng-lish language and the fundametninl principles of the Governoent a idcitizenship of the United St'ttes.

Rcsolred, That a copy of this memorial be forwarded to the Presidentof the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and theSenators and Representative of Arizona Ill the United States Congress.

Passed the senate litue 17, 1918.Passed the house Juie 14, 1918.Mr. SMITH of Arizona. I present a Joint nienorial adopted

by the Legislature of the State of Arizona, which I ask to haveprinted il the RFCOiD.

There being no objection, the itemorial was ordered to beprinted it the ]hzcoln, as follows:

CHz.PTER 1.

ilouse joint memorial No. 1.To the Hfouse of Rcprescitatives, tile Sente, and the President of. the

United States:Your tnemorialisis, the Third State Legislature, iln special war

session, of Arizona, respectfully set forth:It Is now known that this world call no longer remain half auto-

eratic and half democratic. very child of freedom the world aroundis conscious of that fact, most certainly ara they within the folds ofthe Stars amd Stripes. Yet, lnowing it, we have not fully met theissue involved.

Autocracy sneeringly holds itself to have the advantage because it isable by tile single woird of the autocrat to wield the body, inid, andsoul of its subjects into one great, irresistible foree, while democracy,endeavoring to crystallize itself tlrough m President and 'Congress.subservient to the will of a nation of independent ainds, will failutterly in lir final test. If this be so, then the struggle of humanitythrough the ages is lost. If autocracy wins on the flelds of Prance,there will be no tuman conscience left to dispute its kuitur.

Can this be averted? Arizona believes it can if tle United Stateswill, through efforts that move with order, determination, and precision,organize all its resources-material, spiritual, and isychologidal-andthrow them all quickly into the conflict.

In your deliberations of it new revenue bill It will le well to renem-ber that time Government has conscripted all its fighting forces lintit has not yet taken full measure of its supporting forces. The onlyway to accomplish the latter is for everyone-men and women-forthe duration of time war, to give to their country their entire time,efforts, and earnings consistent with a healthy existence.

Therefore the Legislature of Arizona suiggests that you call for allcitizens to volunteer in the service of their country in the positionsthey now occupy, or in others, as the country might wish, and aftera certaln period to draft all the slackers and misfits; that coincidentwith this call for a whole-hearted response by the people you give thatresponse expression, assurance, amd confidence in a tax that will takeall the net earnings of the people over and above what is needed tosupport the industries ad a normal and healthy existence.

It is true that such a tiing was never done before, but democracywas never challenged as it is at this iomur. We believe the lives ofOur young men, on the threshold of responsibility. are is valuable toIie Nation as .a few short years of consecrated effort on the part oftile rest of its, who will soon pass out. Certainly a few years givento our country in te security maintained by our magnificent youth cannot be compared with the sacrifices, heroism, and patriotism they offertheir country.

'his Is a country not of blood nor of an idea but it is an ideal, andas such It must live on ideals. 'he nobler the ideal that supportsIt tie more potent It becomes, both within and without its confines.Complete service to our country is indeed 300 per ceit Americanismaud nothing short of it is. Such a service would burn all the sordidIn our make-up as a people to a white ash. It would dissolve all theproblems of class. It would exalt us to an efficiency not yet recordedIl history. It would reveal to uts the true nieamling of democracy, notbecause we thouglt It but because we lived it. it would clarify ourvision so that we could point the way to a lasting peace.

Such a service would itlettire our armiles as no armies were everiespired before. it would make each soldier conscious that his countryhad not forgotten him, but was behinld him it a14 its intcnsity, and thatIf lie lied ils (clintrytien would 111," for t1io same 1ig for which lhedied. It would make hiat feel ta t a iation that could show stich

spiritual heroism must indeed le tile revelation of the divine plan ofthe ages, and that to give his all for it woul be a privilege sweeterthan ever tasted by mortal.

Sucs a service would convince autocracy that democracy was morepotent than any other earthly force. It voul convince all mankinilthat democracy was a living, vital thing that could be comprehended,practiced, and sustained. It would teach mankind that we strove farthe race and1 not for ourselves aline. Its psychological effect would bemore powerful than all the armies autocracy could muster.

The blood of our soldier boys calls for nothing short of this: ourconscious mission before God and inan ilemands nothing less. We knowwhat justice is. In this supreme test if we do not do our utmost weshall prove uivworthy of justice, and the debasement and butchery of the]foi may be our just reward.

It is ordered that a copy of this memorial be transnitted to thegovernor of Arizona, to the President of the United States, to theSpeaker of the House of Representatives, the President of the Senate,and Arizona's delegation in Congress, the lion. 1.

CONGRESSIONAL RECORD-SENATE. AUGUST 29,

"Lithuania entered the Union of Lublin 1569, with Poland,by the authority of the King, against the protest of the repre-sentatives of the Nation. II 1562 even the Letts had comeunder the suzerainty of Lithuania and Poland. .

"Lithuania remained an independent state, its relations toPoland can be compared to the relation of the Magyars to theGermans in Austria to-day: The Lithuanians naintained theirhighest dignitaries, their own administration, judiciary, andthe Lithuanian statute, their own army and finances.

"Through the machinations of Prussia, Russia, and Austria,Poland and Lithuania were partitioned in 1772, 1793, and .795.Russia has since then oppressed and persecuted the Lithuaniansas well as the Poles most cruelly.

"In 1831, 1863, 1905 the Lithuanians sought their freedom,but were suppressed.

"In 1014 they were not guilty in the provocation of theworld war, nor were they asked to give their consent to it;Lithuania became the battle field between the powers of Russiaand Germany until at last, 1915 to 1917, Germany occupiedLithuania, Couriand, and LIvIand; after the Brest-Litovsktreaty Esthonia and the district of Vitebek (the Lettgalls)were added to the territory occupied by Germany.

" In Europe the world war was advertised as the war forliberation of smaller and oppressed races and peoples. Presi-dent Wilson, admitting the principle that 'the peace of theworld slould rest upon the rights of the peoples, not the rightsof the governments' reply to Pope, August 27, 1917-pro-nounced that "no people must be forced under sovereigntyunder which it does not wish to live'-message to Russia,May 26, 1917.

"The Lithuanian army of 400,000 men had valiantly foughtunder Russia, and later, after the revolution demandedLithuania's independence in several of the soldiers' conferences,1917.

"The exiles and refugees in their conventions at Petrogradvoiced nothing less than independence of Lithuania.

" Imigrants to the United States, citizens as well as non-citizens, in their conference in New York, Chicago, and so forth,stood up only for the emancipation of the Lithuanian nation fromall foreign rule. The Litbuanian-Lettish republic is the gen-erally recognized ideal.

" The Lithuanians in the territory occupied by Germany, inthe convention of Vilnius, September, 1917, unanimously votedfor the independence of Lithuania from all her neighbors-Rus-sins, Poles, and Germans-and the National Council of Lithu-ania has declared Lithuania Independent, February 16, 1918, andasked the recognition of independence by Russia, Germany, andother powers.

"Committees for independent Lithuania are working inSwitzerland, Sweden, and Denmark.

"The congress of 22 nationalities of Russia, held in Kiev,September 8 to 16, 1917, acknowledged to the Lithuanians theright 'to the formation of its sovereign Lithuanian State outof districts of the Russian and Prussian Lithuania, and also ofthe Lithuanian parts of the district of Suvalkal.'

"That means a united Lithuania. Besides, the Lithuanianswere first to promulgate the necessity of a confederation be-tween the snaller, free, and democratic nations in the westernbelt of the previous Russian empire, in order to assure aneffective barrier against the encroachments of Germany in theeastern Europe, as well as to make the Baltic Sea secureagainst the German hegemony, dreaded equally by all peoplesliving on its shores-Scandinavians and Poles, as well as Llthu-anians and Letts, Esthonians and Finns.

"Already in 1914 and 1915 the Lithuanians in their conven-tions made it clear that the fate of the nation shall be decidedonly by the peace congress and not by separate powers, be itRussia or Germany.

"The Lithuanians in their conventions expressed their desireto enter tie society of nations after the war, having as a nationclear conscience, since Lithuania has never broken her treatiesnor has she ever considered treaties to be scraps of paper.Cases of broken treaties are unknown in Lithuania's history.

"If at the beginning of the war the Lithuanians inclined tohe neutral toward their neighbors, since 1917, when the revolu-tion broke out in Russia and when the United States enteredthe war, they decidedly sided with the entente. But Germanyforced conimacts on the national council of the occupied Lithu-ania, which compacts have no legal standing in the interna-tional law and shall be set aside by the peace congress.

" The Lithuanians were never barring the road to independ-ence to the oppressed neiglboring peoples and nations; theyhave alwa:ys alvoeited the liberation of White Russia, Poland,Ukraine. Esthoni, Finland, Armenia, the various Slav races,and so forth. Their only desire was that these peoples shall

not encroach upon the territory of their neighbors and disturbthe national development of the smaller, downtrodden, andunawakened races or peoples.

"Under the circumstances, as set forth above, to compel theLithuanians back into the embracement of Russian ochlocracyor into any other subjection can not mean the restoration ofpeace in Europe or make the peace secure for any length oftime. On the contrary, the Balkans of eastern Europe willbe established, since the Lithuanians are now determined eitherto get their independence or to perish. 'Now or never' is theslogan of the nation.

"We complain that diplomatic and political triumphs of theallies in the east are outclassed by the Germans. This is aptto happen as long as the allies are not outspoken for the inde-pendence of the smaller nations on the western belt of theprevious Russian Empire.

"Why demoralize the people and break up their work, sowonderfully progressing under the most exacting conditions?Disregarding requisitions and military German oppression, theLithuanians have established 2,500 common schools, more than20 high schools; the University of Vilnius is being started thisfall. Some 20,000 Lithuanian telegraphers, postmen, and therailroad men in Russia are well organized and awaiting forthe opportunity to serve their mother country. Physicians, en-gineers, technicians, chemists, teachers are already on the spotto perform their duties, and the army under Gen. Klimaitis iswaiting for a juncture with the allies' Murmansk expedition.

"These are facts, as far as we know them.CONCLUSION.

Senator LODGE, in our conviction, disagrees with PresidentWilson's principles on the liberation of races and nations.'The vast importance of sustaining Russia' can only mean theethiographical Russia, or Great Russia, as it is called. And asupplementary statement in this sense by Senator LODGn wouldrelove a stone from the throbbing hearts of thousands of citi-7ens and peoples who are devoted to liberty and democracy andto the cause of the allies.

"When even the Asiatic Syrians and the Armenians 'mustbe made safe,' why not the progressive Lithuanians and Letts,the oldest living race of the Indo-European family, who now-adays have to steer between the Scylla and Charybdis, the Rus-sian ochlocracy and the German superman, the junker class?

"Give either liberty or death!"For the executive of the Lithuanian National Council.
