Some introJ_;w L:ive obserl!tations. ~'he evacuation from I,i thuania is more difficult, than from Latvia and ~stonia,for several reasons: 1. The political, cultural, and economic centres of Li thu Ania, like Kaunas and Vilnius, the population of which will be evacuated mostly, s.re situated in the middi:e · of the country, about 200 - 300 kilometres from the coast of· the Baltic Sea, Therefore the evacuation is to be organized not only by sea, but by the Lithuanian roads too - from Kaunas and Vilnius, The distance from these cities to the Baltic coast is as long, as the sea route. 2. The sea route between Lithuania and Sweden is longer than that between Sweden and the other Baltic States, the d~stance between the Iithuanian coast and Gotland being l.,bout 200 kilometres. Besides, this route is most uangerous for secret trafic, as-it crosses the German lines to Ilepaya, Ventspils, Riga, Tallinn, and to all the Finnish harbours, Finally this route passes the areas, without fishing zones. · 3, The I.i thuanian shore is very shallow, its land.ing ,places cannot be used by the full:...laden motor boats and. there., fore cargo is to be despatched from the coast by smaller. boats. · ·-.- - 4, There is only one motor-cutter at the dosposal of the Ii thuanians here. It may be ev_entua],ly used only condi tioilnally. 5. There is no choice of crew among the .Lithuanian refu gees in Sweden and only not more than thrt'e men might be used for this yurpose. The crew for the other i:lu> boats should be egaged from among the Latvian and Esto- nian sailors. - Conclusion. Taking in consideration all these special circum- stances, the evacuation from Lithuania would require at least twice more expences, than the evacuation on the same scale from Estonia or J,atvia, II. The real possibilities of the evacuation. This plan has been based on the po~sibHi ties, which are at the disposal o:f the I 1, The evacuation would. be orc,anized. and. carried out by a special group of the local secret organizations, being in a close collaboration with the Supreme Committee for the J.iberation of l-ithuania, All the questions in this matter in Sweden would be completed by two reliable persons, which would collaborate with the J,i thuanian rUni ste.r in Stockholm, 2. The evacuation would be carried. out: a; by motor boats, sent to Lithuania. from Sweden to bring t\;g__§.WW:il,f)_llj-tfie ··evac-iiii ·fed peopHi\i and. b/ by the Lithuanian fishing boats /cutters/, trans porting refug~es to Sweden, and then returning to Lithuani'a. 3. The categories of the Lithuanians, supposed to be evacua ted to Sweden: first of all, all those, who because of their political activity are threatened by the invaders, then the intellectaul class, and Jews, who may be found and saved, The final decision about the categories of per sons, who are to be evacuated, their number, and selection would be reserved for the local underground- organizations, joint in the Supreme Committee for the I1 bera ti on of Li thu ania.

This trip was, howeve1·, a failure, as the-boat hail to retu:.:n the same day because of ilamage to an es-sential part o:f its motor. 2) On June 15th, the motor having been repail•eil; a second trip was maile for the se.ml'! purpose mentioned above. This time the expedition REGRADED ~ UNCLASSIFlE'J }/ l - 2 - \'IUS successful, as it succeeded to set out on the other shore several liaison agents and other :persons with orge.niz£>.tional tasks, 'rhe boat returned to its base, although the course had been compar~•.ti vely di:ffi.cul t especially therefore that the state of' the b means ideal: \'Ihile on sea, the motor v1as to be re:pail•e(l four times, The task itself ·was also carried out under very difi'icml t cir- cumstances, The landing fell practically on full daylight and not far fran\ a vessel of' the coa.ste.l guartl, Fortunately the men and their" baggage vtere b1·ought to the shore without being noticed by the coastal guard and were conducted into safety, 3) The next trip took :place on JunG 29th, It WES :planned fol.'
