— 8 — I. — The protection of nationalities. We need not linger over relations between the Russian administration and the Polish population. The nameof Muravieif the Hangman, and the massacres of Kroze, made in their time an enormous impression in the whole of Europe. We need not mention the prohibition of the Polish language in the courts, in adminis- tration, in the schools, and even in the streets ; the deportation of the Poles, the confiscation of their property, the persecution of the Catho...lic Church as the Polish cult, etc. , because Russia was fighting the Poles for the possession of these provinces. But how did she protect the Lithuanians and the White- Ruthenians? The employment of the Lithuanian and the White-Ruthenian languages in courts of law and adminis- tration were forbidden, except in so far as they were indispen- sable to make one's self understood by the native population, ignorant of any other idiom but its own. Neither the Lithuanian nor the White-Ruthenian language were tolerated in the elementary schools, to say nothing of the secondary schools.
