Tkachenko: Freedom of choice, because from this all other liberties stem. Berzins: ln America, the individual's free- dom of choice is guaranteed by the Consti- tution, but in Communist Europe, man's personal liberties have been taken away entirely, and in all Europe, they have been greatly lessened. Tkachenko: From my observations, the older generation and the veterans of World War ll are well aware of their freedoms, how- ever, our own generation should be re- minded of these freedoms and urged to safeguard them. Berzins: They will better appreciate their freedoms when they come to realize the sacrifices made by previous generations to preserve them. lt is our duty to guarantee this heritage to future generations. More so, a fuller appreciation of American free- doms is realized when one compares the way of life in America to that of European countries. Freedom A C l fr C . Dnlneliacam town -near Belgrade, in Yugosiavia is my native place. I on Ju1yf26, 1934 sisczniot wealthy parents---my father was a lawyer. mymothut a pharmacist.

The li-R.-0.,iii,h F949 declared us eligible to emigrata to the United Statesrgarsd we rtoolpnidvaritage lotithis brilliant opportunity. The lnternationaI,Airport in New,Yufl-g-lwas the ,place where I stepped on -American ground for the first 'times October l2, lf949 was the date, when I saw for-theifirstytime the American- people: isndiih the same month l was.: . student at ST. FRANCIS. PREP.--all 'HIYjQ5!P94'5lfQfi6l'lS were surpassed. Berzins: Americans should be careful to real- ize the corresponding duties with each of their rights. Not to fulfill these duties would be the greatest danger to their free- dom. Consequently, they must be edu- cated in these Christian principles. Berzins: ln Latvia, the Russians came in l939 to use the Baltic ports under a diplomatic agreement-the people believed this to be nothing more than a friendly deal guar- anteeing protection and an additional in- come. ln less than a year's time the true purpose of the Russians was seen-to des- troy the national integrity of the Baltic States and to completely Sovietize them. Tkachenko: ln Yugoslavia, the story was Be much the same. The minority of the popu- lation favored Communism because of in- fluence by propaganda and ignorance of facts. The greatest part of the people was indifferent. Another small percentage who had experienced Russian rule con- vinced others of the coming dangers and persuaded them to flee their country. rzins: ln Latvia also, those of the older generation who had been educated in Rus- sia, warned their fellow citizens of the threatening dangers. However, their ad- vice was overwhelmed by propaganda, Berzins: lt was first brought home after a Tk series of mysterious arrests from which my father narrowly escaped. However, the controls placed on the people and the loss of personal property in many cases had al- ready brought about a pall of depression. This was followed by typical Russian elec- tions-and then we knew. achenko: Disorder with stealing and plun- dering, no respect for authority, and a general chaos, soon showed the people the true nature of the Communistic doc- trine of equality , Equality, ironically, was never to come about. .lil Berzins: lt was too late then to take any effective action, The brutal Soviet army and its secret police, Checka, had taken over the control of the occupied states, and they worked hard arresting and ar- ranging deportation for thousands consid- ered dangerous to the new regime. There was deep depression because a giant brute force was raping three little nations, each consisting of less than two million people. People never smiledg they didn't trust each other, and many were hiding in forests, because anyone who ever had any personal property and had seen better days was branded a capitalistic, imperial- istic conspirator . Tkachenko: Partially because of ignorance of the people and propaganda, but mainly because they were overrun by troops and subjected to a Russian reign of terror. Tkachenko: No, l don't think so. People are generally more educated-a free press exists here in the United States and the people would not be so easily deluded by Communist progaganda. Today, the United States fully realizes that interna- tional Communisim is its enemy, and the defense program is being readied for any such possibility,
