The Polish forces occupying Vilna are accused of massacring Jews with 1200 dead and wounded reported by a Jewish inquiry committee up to May 5. Material damage is pegged at 60 million francs as Lithuanians vow full resistance.
The document portrays Lithuania as a distinct Baltic republic with 6 million people, 47 000 square miles, a republic form, and an economy based on agriculture, stock raising and forestry. It notes historic subjugation by Germany and Russia, calls for Allied and American recognition, and cites a Lithuanian American population over one million.
