In the Nazi maps, Czechoslovakia vanished and its truncated part surfaced as the Reich Protectorate of Bohemia and Morovia; the State of Austria (Oster- reich) faded into an eastern province of an empire (Ostmark). Soviet maps integrate conquered nations into the Soviet empire and attach to their names the acronym of captivity: Lithuania becomes Lithuanian SSR, or Soviet Socialist Republic, a typical semantic hogwash, since the captive nation is neither "Soviet" (i.e., governed by councils), nor "socialist," nor a "republic". No wonder, then, that the Baits at home and abroad are particularly sensitive about the terminology and the maps affecting their nations. They know too well that one of the ways nations die is by disappearing into "memory holes." The price of national existence is constant vigi­ lance. In trying to keep the terminology straight and the borders visible, Lithuanians, Latvians and Estonians have discovered that they have to contend not only with the totalita­ rian falsifiers of words and maps, but also with opinion-makers in the free world - those who should know better.

The chancery office is being financed by assessments on all parishes. It is a 70- by-45-foot building which will share a common dining room with the rectory. The three-story building will have a reception room, tribunal office, cate­ chetical office and newspaper (The Way) offices on the first floor. On the second floor, the chancellor's office, archives, economy's office and confe­ rence room are planned. The archbishop's office, a library and an apartment will be on the third floor. The bishop's residence will also be funded by parochial assessments. It will include a chapel with an iconostas from the old residence on Medary Avenue.
