RUTHLESS SUPPRESSION
LITHUANIA AND REDS A THOUSAND ARRESTS By Cable. —Press Association. —Copyright LONDON, Wednesday. Dispatches from Warsaw state that according to messages received there from Lithuania the authorities in the latter State are ruthlessly suppressing the Communist movement. As a result of the revolt on Sunday the entire country is now practically under martial law. Troops and armed volunteers are guarding the frontiers to prevent the flight of Communists, but many of them have already slipped into East Prussia and Poland. Only the Lithuanian Government organ, the Lietuva, is being published. This alleges that Poland was behind the outbreak. The Polish Press resents this, declaring that the establishment of a Soviet regime in Lithuania would be most undesirable in Poland’s own interests. The representative of the British United Press Association at Kovno reports that a court-martial condemned to death 11 persons who were concerned in the revolt. Six of them were executed. Those arrested total 1,000. —A. and N.Z.-Sun.
