  • Latvia the Claim for Independence Leva JÄ Kobsone* * Desk Officer
    Latvia The Claim for Independence leva J�kobsone* The legal basis for de facto renewal of sovereignty of the Republic of Latvia was laid on 4 May 1990, one year before the collapse of the Soviet Union. On this date the Declaration of the Supreme Soviet of the Latvian SSR On the Renewal of the Independence of the Republic of Latvia proclaimed the renewal of independence of the State establishing a transition period for the restoration of de facto independence. The Declaration stated that the incorporation of the Republic of Latvia in the Soviet Union was illegal with respect to general principles of international law and that the Republic of Latvia continued to exist de jure as the subject of international law during the occupation by the Soviet Union. The Declaration partly restated the legal force of the constitutional basis of the pre-war Republic - the Satversme (Constitution). The Declaration expressed the desire: ' (...) To recognize the supremacy of the fundamental principles of intemafional law over national law. To consider illegal the Treaty of August 23, 1939 between the USSR and Germany, and the subsequent liquidation of the sovereignty of the Republic of Latvia on June 17, 1940 which was the result of the USSR military aggression. To declare null and void from the moment of adoption the Decision of July 21, 1940 of the Saeima of Latvia 'On the Republic of Latvia's Joining the USSR'. (...) To guarantee citizens of the Republic of Latvia and those of other States permanently residing in Latvia social, economic and Cultural rights, as well as those political rights and freedoms which comply with the universally recognized international human rights instruments (...).

  • Exiles and Constituents: Baltic Refugees and American Cold War Politics, 1948-1960
    Exiles and Constituents: Baltic Refugees and American Cold War Politics, 1948-1960 Jonathan H. L’Hommedieu A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Turku in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctorate of Social Sciences in the Department of Contemporary History Turku 2011 Serial: Humaniora B 338 ISBN 978-951-29-4811-6 ISSN 0082-6987 Abstract Jonathan H. L’Hommedieu: Exiles and Constituents: Baltic Refugees and American Cold War Politics, 1948-1960 This dissertation explores the complicated relations between Estonian, Latvian, and Lithuanian postwar refugees and American foreign policymakers between 1948 and 1960. There were seemingly shared interests between the parties during the first decade of the Cold War. Generally, Eastern European refugees refused to recognize Soviet hegemony in their homelands, and American policy towards the Soviet bloc during the Truman and Eisenhower administrations sought to undermine the Kremlin’s standing in the region. More specifically, Baltic refugees and State Department officials sought to preserve the 1940 non-recognition policy towards the Soviet annexation of the Baltic States. I propose that despite the seemingly natural convergence of interests, the American experiment of constructing a State-Private network revolving around fostering relations with exile groups was fraught with difficulties. These difficulties ultimately undermined any ability that the United States might have had to liberate the Baltic States from the Soviet Union. As this dissertation demonstrates, Baltic exiles were primarily concerned with preserving a high level of political continuity to the interwar republics under the assumption that they would be able to regain their positions in liberated, democratic societies.

  • The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea
    Penguin Books The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea Yukio Mishima was born in Tokyo in 1925. When he graduated from the Peers' School in 1944, he received a citation from the Emperor as the highest honour student. He graduated from the Tokyo Imperial University School of Jurisprudence in 1947, and the following year he published his first novel. He wrote eight novels, four successful plays for the Kabuki Theatre, and a travel book. He was the author of more than fifty short stories, ten one-act plays, and several volumes of essays. Among his books published in England are After the Banquet, Confessions elf a Mask, Death in Midsummer and other stories, and The Thirstfor Love. The Sound of Waves, published in Japan under the title of Shiosai, won the 1954 Shinchosha literary prize. Immediately after the Second World War, Yukio Mishima went to the United States as a guest of the State Department and of Partisan Review. In his spare time he was a devotee of weight-lifting and body-building exercises. Mishima firmly upheld the traditions of Japan's imperial past, which he believed were being swiftly eroded by Western materialism. In 1970 he astonished the world when he and a colleague committed ritual suicide, or hara-kiri, by disembowelment. Yukio Mishima The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea Translated from the Japanese by John Nathan Penguin Books in association with Martin Seeker & Warburg Penguin Books Ltd, Harmondsworth, Middlesex, England Penguin Books, 625 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10022, U.S.A.

    PROCLAMATION 5831—JUNE 14, 1988 102 STAT. 5029 environment. Through recycling, wastes are diverted from landfills and our limited landfill space is preserved. Communities can use recycling to generate revenues from the materials recovered from the waste stream. Finally, recycling can save us money by avoiding the high costs of landfills or incineration. These benefits can only be realized through more recycling. The Envi­ ronmental Protection Agency considers feasible a recycling level of 25 percent nationally by the early 1990's through the efforts of States and municipalities and the cooperation of individual households and busi­ nesses in separating recyclable materials from their waste and in not generating unnecessary waste. The Congress, by House Joint Resolution 469, has designated June 1988 as "National Recycling Month" and has authorized and requested the President to issue a proclamation in observance of this event. NOW, THEREFORE, I, RONALD REAGAN, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim June 1988 as National Recycling Month. I urge the people of the United States to observe this month with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fourteenth day of June, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and eighty-eight, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hun­ dred and twelfth.

AFTERWORD 147 CHAPTER I FOREWARD In the narrative “Viracocha" about my adventures among savages of the upper Amazonian jungle and travel down the Amazon to Para, Brazil when I was nineteen, I touched on my background and said this experience had had a profound effect on my outlook on life. My wife Frances has urged me to continue with a narrative of the rest of my life as a family record. I do so because I would like to have a similar account of the lives of my Puritan and pioneer ancestors. I'm aware that anyone writing a personal piece of this kind is bound to try to present himself in the most favorable light. In order to try to offset this tendency, I have given as truthful an account of my life as I can. I have also quoted the views of State Department officials in controversial phases of my career. Readers can judge for themselves. It is evident that a person with my background and lack of formal training could not easily fit into an ideal, conventional, well disciplined Foreign Service.
