Outlines the issues surrounding the delineation of the national borders between the Baltic states after World War I. Places of contention between Latvia and Lithuania included Palanga and Klaipeda. With some difficulty, a border commission headed by British representative James Young Simpson (1873-1934), chosen by the two countries to mediate the dispute, set borders that were finally approved by the Latvian cabinet on July 8, 1930. There were also difficulties concerning the Latvian-Estonian border, but these had been reconciled in October 1920.
