Abstract
In 1919 Laura de Turczynowicz returned to Lithuania in April on the encouragement from Lithuanian emigres on a fact finding mission for possible humanitarian intervention. After several high level meetings she was encouraged by the Lithuanian Prime Minister to seek humanitarian funding in America. She returned to Amerian in August 1919 with this intent in mind. Ultimately the results proved ineffectual due to competition and distrust amongst the various ethnic Lithuanian and Polish emigres in America. Source:
