Baltic League

Representatives of Esthonia, Latvia and Lithuania met at Kovno (Kaunas), capital of Lithuania, for a discussion of political and economic problems facing these three states, situated on the Baltic Sea and formerly in Russia.

It was stated that the principal agendum was the formation of a definite entente among the Baltic States to safeguard the territorial and political independence of each and to provide for common action in case of armed aggression.

M. Aukstuolis, Lithuanian Minister to Esthonia and Latvia, said: "The idea has fully ripened that all three small states should link their common fates in order to obtain the common well-being through united efforts. It is a desirable understanding even if the conclusion of a close alliance should not be reached."
