TALK OF WAR
BY LITHUANIAN POLITICIANS TO DEFEND INDEPENDENCE (“Times” Cables.) (Rec. June 20, 10 p.m.) London, June 20. “It will perhaps be your fate to fight further for Lithuanian independence,” the Premier, Professor Valdeinaras, told a conference of Lithuanian riflemen, whom he warned to be on their guard against the Powers’ attempts to force Lithuania to cede Memel to Poland.
The. War Minister, M. Daukantas, declared that the Powers wanted to force Lithuania to come under Polish influence. He said that the Powers must know that Lithuania does not want war and bloodshed, but if it is necessary to defend her independence, she is ready, and will not cease fighting until she achieves complete victory, or the whole of the Lithuanian people are slain on the battlefield.
The Soviet Press alleges that there are far-reaching plans on the part of Poland to annex Lithuania.
