Balt Refugees Accuse Russia Of Genocide
(10 a.m.) LONDON, Mar. 7. Eight hundred Baltic refugees at a protest meeting in Stuttgart adopted a resolution appealing to the United Nations to “stop the genocide of the Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian peoples by the Soviet Government.” Router’s correspondent says that speakers alleged that between 800,000 and 900,000 people, about 15 per cent of of population of the Baltic countries had been deported to Soviet forced labour camps. Hundreds of thousands had died in the camps through hunger, cold, ill-treatment and overwork.
