РАГЙС AMONG RUSSIAN IMPERIALISTS

For the past several months tint Russian ami- Stalinist leaders here and in Europe have developedі unusual activi­ties with the' purpose of mob­ilizing the public opinion of the West in favor of their politi­cal credo. The guiding idea and motivation -of these activi­ties is the preservation of the Russian territorial empire, come what may. They are fran­tically 'organizing new fronts and committees; are endeavor-

-—jng to enlist (with some suc­cess) prominent American leaders with t h a t one purpose ever in mind: to perpetuate glorious and eternal • "Mother Russia" by preventing the non-

-— Russian peoples from breaking away from the 'XJbmmon fold."

Readers of T t e Ukrainian Weekly already have been in­formed in this space about at tempts of the.se Russian readers to organize a Joint committee of Russian and non-Russian groups -in Germany. For months Hie-Russian lead­ers, with the- Help and the prodding of emissaries of the American Committee for the Liberation of'.Peoples' of Rus­sia (which grdup сіш1*~і to have "seyeral million dollars" from private American organl-tions) have attempted to enlist representatives* ef the non-

to a method extensively used by the Soviets. They began picking up certain individuals from among the non-Russian peoples or even from the Rus­sian groups themselves who were willing to pose as "rep­resentatives" of the Ukrainians. Georgians, Turkestanians, Ar­menians and others. This was done with the purpose, of course, of convincing Ameri­cans tha t the non-Russian peo­ples (who in the USSR num­ber over 115,000,000 people, or 54 per cent of the entire population) do not desire their own national independence, but would be content to re­main under a future non-com­munist Russian government.

REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMEN DEMAND EXPOSE OF SOVIET GENOCIDE

But knowing the Russians from the past experiences as they do. the non-Russian na­tionalities rejected the propos­als, stating tha t they fight against Russian enslavement of all brands and colors.

On November '30. 1951 the representatives of the peoples of Eastern Europe and Asia (comprising the countries of Azerbaijan, Byelorussia, Geor­gia, Idel-Ural Cossackia, Cri­mea, North Caucasus, Turke­s tan and Ukraine) gathered in Munich and issued a joint ap­peal to the fee* world asking for help and sapport for their liberation from Soviet Rus­sian tyranny.

They also stated their rea­sons why they could not get along with the anti-Stalinist Russians who organized a Rus­sian committee* known as the SONR. and who presume to speak in behalf of the non-Russian peoples as well. These Russian leaders, failing to en­list any responsible represen­tatives from among the non-Russian nationalities, resorted

Russian emigres'who recognize our peoples' r ights as indicat­ed above."

Here m the United States, a number of Russian emigres (some have become U.S. citi­zens) are waging a determined campaign to discredit the lib­eration movements of the non-Russian peoples. One of them is David J . Dallin, a Menshe-vik, who is a contributing edit­or of The New Leader, an ant і communist Socialist review of New York. Recently Mr. Dal­lin wrote a series of articles in which he attacked a number of Americans and Britons who support the liberation of the non-Russian peoples. (Among these were British General C. J. Fuller, who recently wrote an excellent article in The Sat­urday Evening Post support­ing the cause of liberation of peoples enslaved by Moscow; Edward Crahkshaw, brilliant British writer, and Geoffrey Gorer, another Briton, for their critical views of the Russians.)

Mr. Dallin also did not ap­pear to care for the anti-So­viet Russian rally sponsored by the Ukrainian Congress Committee of America on No­vember 11, 1051 in New York, which was attendod by Mayor Irapellitteri of New York City, Gay Gabrielson, Chairman of the National Republican Com­mittee, Edward M. O'Connor, Commissioner of the U. S. DP Commission, and Professors Philip Mosely and Raphael Lemkin of Columbia and Yale respectively.

Like all other Russians, Mr. Dallin is emotional ra ther than rational in his arguments, t ry­ing to convince his readers tha t whoever supports the lib­eration movements of the non-Russian peoples is automatic­ally "against the Russian peo­ple." I t seemed clear that such Russians simply cannot ac­cept the idea of the freedom of a human being ів infinitely more precious than any em­pire, even the Russian.

On Friday, January 11. 1052, more than 100 Repub­lican Congressmen, including the Republican Minority, Jo­seph W. Martin* J r . , -and .*h* "Republican 'Minority Whip, Leslie Arena's, urged Seeretai ry of State Dean G. Acheaon to seek to arrange for an im­mediate investigation of So­viet genocide by the United Nations Assembly.

In a letter to Mr. Acheson, the Congressmen reminded him tha t on November 24, 1951, representatives of some 12 mil­lion American citizens of East­ern European descent urged Mr. Acheson to t ry to place an investigation of Soviet geno­cide on the agenda of the Na­tions Assembly. The Repub­lican Congressmen asserted that Mr. Acheson has not yet responded to this appeal.

"Ever since the Bolsheviks came into power in 1017, they have been engaged in genocidal acts against their subjugated people," said Congressman Kersten of Wisconsin, spokes­man for the Republican Con­gressmen. "The Soviets have followed a systematical plan of annihilation of the peo­ples they fear so greatly. The slaughter of the Polish Army Officers at Katyn; of thousands of Ukrainians a t Vinnitsia; the present mass deportation of Hungarians; and the forced replacement of Latvian, Lithuanian and Es­tonian husbands and fathers with men who have been im­ported from behind the Urals, are only some of the examples of Soviet genocide."

Ukrainian Christmas Greetings

Governor Thomas E. Dewey tonians, the Czechs and Slavs, of the State of New York and Mayor Vincent R. Impellitteri of the City of New York sent heartfelt greetings to Ameri­can Ukrainians during the Uk­rainian Christmas Season.

Their greetings were broad­cast by ratio station WHOM. The program is conducted by Mr. Melnyk. It's heard on Thursdays, 7-8 P.M.. and on Sundays. 7-8 A.M.

Governor Dewey's message:—

"On behalf the people of the entire State, I take pleasure in sending cordial greetings to New Yorkers of Ukrainian or­igin at a time when those who worship the Uniate Rite are celebrating the birth of Christ. They have reason for partic­ular gratitude since they all and other members of their faith in America enjoy this festival to the full.

THE UKRAINIAN AND RUSSIAN CONCEPTIONS. THEAMER І CAN WAY

Of THE HISTORY Of EASTERN EUROPE By NICHOLAS CHUBATY

Presented at the meeting of the membe rs of the Shevchenko Scientific Society

The scientific determination of the history of the Ukrainian and Russian people has been unfavorably affected by the political conditions existing in Eastern Europe for the last five centuries. The building of the Russian Empire out of the Grand Principality of Moscow by the conquest of the neigh­boring nations called for the creation of a solid, ethnic, na­tional basis for the Empire,— one Russian people composed at least of the East Slavic pop­ulation. As a result the picture of the historical development was not drawn by a study of the dominating power which harnessed historical science to the service of the interests of the empire.

Since in fact there was not in Eastern Europe that one Russian people which was so necessary for the permanence of the empire, it had to be created artificially. Russian historical science from the time of Peter I played an important role In the creation of this non­existent one Russian people embracing aH Eastern Slavs. From that time Russian official science especially in the fields of history and language work­ed intensively to prove that in Eastern Europe there was one ethnic mass, the Russian peo­ple, with the "Little Russian" dialect in the south and the Byelorussian on the western border of Russia and that these dialects were not the languages of distinct "peoples.

raine; here lived a people dif­ferent in language and in their national psychology from the Russian people and so Russian historical science often invent­ed very unnatural theories to onnect the Kievan state with

the history of the Russian peo­ple, which had, developed in in the north around their centre of Moscow. Among these artificial attempts to con-1 throughout" historical times

(1) took a position different from the official Russian linguistics and history.

Thus the highest scientific organization of Russia, the Im­perial Academy of Sciences, did not always follow the pol­itical wishes of the administra­tion. In 1905 it declared the full independence of the Uk­rainian language from Russian

Bos' Formed on Ukrainian . Territory ..

The official Russian historic­al science tried also to show that there existed in Eastern Europe only the one stream of people Russian history, one stream of the development of Russian culture from the first historic­al times of Kievan Rus' to the time of Stalin. In fact .there was no such one historical cur­rent in Eastern Europe but there were several. The old Kievan Rus' and its culture were formed not on the ter­ritory of the Russian people but on the territory of Uk-

nect the old History of Rus' Ukraine with the history of the Grand Principality of Moscow were the theory of the migra­tion of the Ukrainians to the territory of Moscow (by Pogo-din), the modern Eurasian theory and most recently the theory propagandized by the Soviets of the periodic nation­al integration and disintegra­tion of the Eastern Slavs.

In Russia not only now when Soviet science in regulated by the linguistic and historical pronunciamentos of Stalin and the resolutions of the Central Committee of the Ail-Union Communist Party of Bolshe­viks but also in tsarist times, although in not such a striking form, the political administra­tion exerted an influence upon the results of Russian historic­al science. The official science, which rested upon the two forces: science and the police, worked so that there should not appear a separate Ukrain­ian people as an ethnic entity or as a political nation.

Valuyev's Denial of Existence of Ukrainian People and •

Their Language Th'e chief of the imperial

police Valuyev announced in 1863 that "there was not, and cannot be" a Ukrainian

and Ukrainian lan­guage; his successor Iozefc-vich in 1876 forbade the print­ing in Russia of anything in Ukrainian and their ideas were echoed by the majority of the Russian linguists and histori­ans in the universities. We emphasize the word "major­ity," for under the tsars there were progressive Russian scho­lars who tried to defend the freedom of science and often

There were also Russian his-tiorians who departed from the the official historical line of the one uninterrupted stream of Russian history and refused to connect organically the his­tory of the Russian people with the history of the old Kievan Rus'-Ukraine.

The historical science of Eastern Europe was influenced not only by the official policy of the Russian Empire but al­so, although not so strongly, by the policy of Poland, the former claimant to the rule over the Ukrainian and White Ruthenian (Byelorussian) ter­ritories. The political ambi­tions of Poland in the east thus influenced strongly the attitude of Polish historical science toward Eastern Eu­rope and confused also the historical realities in this sec­tion of the world.

The studies of the Ukrain­ian historians a position be­tween these two tendencies, Russian and Polish, and rep­resented the liberal desires for freedom of the non-Russian peoples of the Russian Empire. Ukrainian historical science accepted as its basis' the full ethnic and cultural individual­ities of the Ukrainian and White Ruthenian peoples. De­spite the denial of the inde­pendence of the Ukrainian pco-people by Russia and even the administrative ban on display­ing its identity as a people, the Ukrainian Deople continu­ed to exist ancl regarded itself as a distinct national individu­ality with its own language, history, traditions and politi­cal aspirations to become a fully independent nation.

(To be concluded)

THE SOVIET UNION IN AMERICAN ENCYCLOPEDIAS

by Prof. SMAL-STOCKY, Marquette University (Concluded) (2)

We can well understand that the editors would wish to hide the collaboration of a Russian spy in their endeavors to enlighten American public opinion about the Soviet Union, but is this method fair to the American reading public, which accepts the volume with the relief that the articles it contains are the work of ob­jective American scholars? Is there not also involved a prob­lem of professional ethics for Professor Ellsworth Raymond himself?

But that is not the end. The Kazakevich article, in its whole construction and basic con­cepts, struck me as familiar. Investigation soon disclosed that it is a "digest" of the corresponding article in the )n the official Russian Soviet Encyclopedia, "purified" and condensed for the American bourgeoisie. From it arc taken and presented to the uncritical reader, as American scholar­ship, fundamental concepts of present Soviet Union as an his­toric geo-political unity going back to the dawn of civiliza­tion. Here the reader will find the Haldian tribes, the Urartu Kingdom and Assyria, the Armenian Kingdom, the whole Kiev;i ; Rus' annexed in the "common" Russian history, With the Marxian quotation, the official party-line concept, that only in the 15th century did the Russian people break up into three separate nations (Great Russians, Ukrainians

and Byelo- Russians). Of course, it is not stated that the terms "Ukraine" appears in the chronicles of the 12th centuries and that the Ukrain­ian and Russian languages were established separately even earlier. Nor is it men­tioned that the Lithuanian Empire was virtually a federa­tion of the Lithuanians, Byelo-R u s s i a n s and Ukrainians, with the Old Byelo-Ruaaian-Church Slavic language as the state language, and that, later, Poland was a Commonwealth of these four peoples, belong­ing through the centuries to western European civilization.

The Party-Line and Ivan the Terrible

The party-line glorified Ivan the Terrible and Peter the Great, whom "Mazepa betray­ed" (p. 219v); thus it was not the Tsars who broke their promises of full autonomy to the Ukraine, but the Ukrain­ian hctman who 'betrayed' the Russian Tsar." A very pec­uliar detail is that after the party-line declared Ivan the Terrible :ind Peter to be fore­runners of Lenin and Stalin. Ivan':; epithet became threten-1

dreaded" or "the severe," de­claring the translation "ter­rible" to be a mistake (p. 201a). Let us consult the dic­tionaries about the original meanings. Sreznevski, Mater-ialy, 1903, St. Petersburg, gives under "groza" the Lat­in meaning "horror," and states the adjective derivative was applied to the devil. In the Soviet dictionary of the Russian language of Ushakov, 1935, we find under "grozni": "zheratoki", "ewirepyi", "suro-vyi muzh", Ivan Groznii; thus the meaning of "groznii" cor­responds to "brutal, cruel, heartless." In English, such things as the weather, sensurc, or pain are severe. Although "dread" to some extent seman-tically o v e r l a p s the more justified in view of the Rus­sian word having been used to characterize the devil. Thus, the Russian Communists ex­tended their dictatorship into English terminology, to which even Russian Tsarism did not object.

Incidentally, the Kazakevich article is guilty of some his­torical error. For instance, 01-ha (Olga) was not baptized in 957 in Constantinople (p

NOT " Ш Е Р UP" By GEOBGE PECK

The so-called liberals and self-styled liberators' who championed federal deficit spending and welfare schemes have hoisted the white flag of surrender—they proclaim that America has reached the peak of development and that its economy is "washed up."

Nothing could be t further from the truth. America has by no means come to the end of its forward progress. A na­tion that within the last three decades has successfully fought two major wars; that is scattering billions of dollars annually the world over; that is spending many billions an-nuallythe world over; that is spending many billions annual­ly at home for defense; and is still maintaining a high stand­ard of living for 150 million citizens—such a nation just cannot be "washed up."

America is a giant that scarce realizes its own strength

NOTES AND COMMENTS

Three Convoys to Tour United States With CD Exhibits

The first of three "Alert America" mobile exhibits on civil defense will open in Wash­ington, D. C, Jan. 7 to 12, fol­lowing a "shakedown run" in Norfolk and Richmond, Va., Dec. 7 to 15. The showing in the Nation's Capital will offi­cially open the "Alert Amer­ica" campaign on a Nation­wide scale.

The exhibits, which drama­tize the need for and opera­tions of civil defense, will be carried on truck convoys, one travelling through the North­eastern part of the United United States, a second through the Central States, and the third heading across the South and up the Pacific Coast, They will visit imtill-ly approximately 70 cities *ih 26 States and are expected to be seen by millions of specta­tors in the next 6 months. La­ter it is hoped to continue the convoys, eventually covering all 48 States.

Agencies Cooperate The convoys are being man­

aged by the Valley Forge Foundation, a nonprofit organ­ization, under contract with FCD. The program was made possible through the generous oooperation of private indus­try and other government agencies, which arc supplying much of the rolling stock and exhibit material. The Depart­ment of Defense is providing drivers for the trucks.

The Norfolk show is being opened by Deputy Administra­tor James J. Wadsworth and Mrs. John'L. Whitehurst, As­sistant Administrator, FCDA.

Each exhibit will occupy a apace of 55x100 feet, some­what larger than a standard basketball court. The exhibit will be devoted to a dramatic presentation of atomic power, both its peace and wartime uses, biological warfare, the the new "nerve gases" and in­cendiary bombs, sabotage, and psychological warfare.

The second part of the exhibit will illustrate graphically how these threats to our national survival can be met by effec­tive civil defense, showing par­ticularly what the individual citizen can do to protect him­self and to help civil defense in his own community.

The exhibit will include mo­tion pictures, information book­lets, special weapons and other supplementary displays, and will be under the direction of the State and local civil de­fense volunteers, enrollment of people in first-aid training, blood donations and other re­lated purposes, according to local needs.

Administrator Caldwell call­ed the task facing FCDA "probably the most extensive job of public education ever attempted by a government agency." He praised the co­operation of all media of com­munication, as well as the in­creasing participation in civil defense by all national organi­zations. Must Revolutionize Thinking

"What we face is nothing less than bringing about a re­volution in the thinking of the American people on national defense," he said. "We must convince the average citizen that he bears an equal respon­sibility and risk with the man in uniform in the defense of his homeland."

He quoted Secretary of De­fense Robert A. Lovett as call­ing civil defense "a co-equal partner with the military in the defense of the nation."

"The urgency of this mes­sage," Administrator Caldwell continued, "seemed to us to call for urgent action. Our Na­tional Advisory Council has urged an 'Alert America' campaign. To spearhead this this program, we have de­veloped what you might call a 'Paul Revere on wheels' — a motorized convoy carrying a dramatic civil-defense ex­hibit."

Palance in Hollywood

Walter^Jack Palance, star of | stage and screen, recently ar­rived in Hollywood in order to appear as a featured player in Twentieth Century produc­tions. Palance will be remem­bered for his superb portrayal of the youthful Soviet MVD agent in the New York Critic's Prize play "Darkness At Noon" which starred Claude Raines.

Jack Palance, who hails from Pennsylvania and is of Ukrain­ian parents whose name is Pal-aniuk, will first be seen in 'Shane", a picture featuring

Alan Ladd. His second film will be with Joan Crawford in which he plays the part of a husband intent upon murder­ing his wife. All of which brings to mind the serious shortage of heroic actors of Ukrainian descent in Holly­wood.

At present the situation is

It is true that we must find ways to make our economy run more smoothly, so that there can be no possible pre­text for any segment of the population to turn to govern­ment for aid. If we had given as much thought and effort to perfecting our American Cap­italistic System as its de-fa mers have devoted to over­emphasizing its defects; had we not permitted the adoption of policies that sapped its workings, we would have by now ironed out most of the kinks in it.

The road ahead to greater individual freedom and opportunity will be hard and rough—It will en­tail toil and sweat But that will be a small price to pay compared with what we event­ually will be forced to pay if we continue to travel the other road that the "planned econ­omists" picture as so easy and alluring, but which if we con­tinue to follow it, will bring us to misery, enslavement and all the other evils that go hand in hand with a totalitarian system.

Surely, we, the American people, do not want any such system. Do I hear someone say: "It cannot happen here?" Don't be too sure, for already we have traveled a long way down the road to collectivism. That's the horrible situation into which the "America-wash-up" philosophers have steered us.

While it is late, it is not too late. The voices of the de­tainers and belittlers of our American Capitalistic System can be stilled. We have the capacity for future expansion if we but use the facilities at our command, adopt construc­tive policies and exercise the courage and wisdom to make necessary adjustments. We must insist that government remove every bureaucratic

Mike- Mazurki, long active in Ukrainian life, is always cast as a villain, hatchet man or pug. John Ho-diak every so often winds up in the role of a sadistic wife killer, gun happy soldier or blood thriety Indian. Palance himself has fared even better in the blood and thunder de­partment. His first film was •x terrific hit simply because he was the most unusual and deadly looking killer seen on the silver screen for many'a year. On Broadway he played the part of a Soviet killer and now again he returns to the field of crime and danger. Surely there must be at least one Uk­rainian American actor with a

bit more friendly appeal and I heroic character.

BOOTLEG RECORDS Seems as '.though the ad­

vantages of modern recording techniques haVe'brought along with them some disadvantages. Today there is. a vast of illegal reproducing ' o f phonograph records by uusrupulous rec­ord companies. Not only has this situation developed in the field of foreigij recordings but in the operatic and popular as well. Not long ago one com­pany issued an' entire opera claiming that it was recorded in Italy by famous Italian art­ists. Upon closer scrutinity certain buyers ^recognized the voices of Leonard Warren and other famous American sing­ers. It seems as though the entire opera was taken right off the air on .tape and then reproduced on. records.

4m theforeigc-fiald the-sHu--ration is a bit. more critical for the small companies whose material these bootleggers steal cannot -afford to instigate long legal action and so they must bear the- brunt 'of the loss. The records made by vari­ous Ukrainian • groups have been reproduced and are being sold with all the profit going into the bootlegger's pocket, while the groups that really need the money, made the rec­ords etc. must suffer the con­sequences. Using cheaper mat­erials at least, paying for the original recordings. If you are going to buy-any Ukrainian records make.certain they are originals and not bootleg copies.

complimented for inserting in his article some details omit-tted in the Soviet history

(Lenin's peace offer to William Bullit, etc.; p. 391hh), but his presentation of the events of 1920 as a "Russo-Polish War" is a Soviet party-line concept. The truth can be learned from Traveaux de 1'Institut Sclenti-flquc Ukrainienne, Volume XV, Documents regarding the Uk­rainian-Muscovite War 1920, by General W. Salsky and P. Shandruk, published in War­saw in 1932.

Nor is the importance of President Wilson's fourteen points, proclaimed on January 8, 1918, to the course of events in all non-Russian territories, appreciated.

The article is followed by a "Foreign Affairs Chronoligy," the authors of which In the 1947 edition are V. D. and Emily Kazakevich. In the 1951

edition, however, their names have disappeared.

A new note of unfairness is to be noted with regard to the other articles pertaining to history. The one entitled "Dip­lomatic Relations with the U. S. A." (p. 292k) is identified as "Revised by Ellsworth Ray­mond." Thus, once more the name of the actual author is concealed. .The author in the 1947 edition is given as Fred­erick L. Schuman and, after comparing the original with the "revised" article, the con­cealing of the name of the original author can be con­sidered as unfair because the article remains essentially the old Schuman article. It is the more unfair as the other arti­cles expressly mention the au­thor and reviser.

America " w a s h e d up!" Shucks! As the carnival bark­er puts it: "Folks, you ain't seen nothin' yet." America has made but a humble beginning.

and Social Institutions. The article by Bernard Pares on religion in the Soviet Union is out of date, as the persecu­tions since 1945 of the Pro­testants in the Baltic States and of the Catholics in West­ern Ukraine and Lithuania arc not mentioned. The editors, on comparison with the 1947 edi­tion, have also concealed the authorship of the following articles: "Medicine and Health" by Henry E. Sigerist, John Hopkins University, and "Art" by Louis Lozowick. (The ar­ticle "Development of Social Institutions," by Rose Maurer, was eliminated from the new edition.) Are Buch methods fair?

The Economic System Article Not Bad

The remaining articles, espe­cially those concerned with the economic system (the 1947

Kazakevich article, a fine achievement of Soviet propa­ganda for an American audi­ence, is dropped); industry, communications (signed "An­drew Steiger, revised Ellsworth Raymond"), banking, money, arc excellent in part, while in­cluding uncritical reports from Soviet sources on medicine, health, education, etc.

(E) Humanitcs and Science. I must disagree with the pres­entation of the Russian lan­guage and literature by Pro­fessor Simmons. This article about Russian literature under the Soviets hardly gives the reader any idea about the pres­ent tragedy of the Russian writers and poets.

The Jaysees opened with a win in the first game by over thirty pins and made no use of a 17-pin ''spot" in their favor.

The Maplewooditee, whose Bill Dudak scored a whopping 533-pin series and John Sipsky a good 507, seemed unable to place their good games where they would count most and so found themselves only one rung above the league "cellar".

The seventeenth annual com­pilation of the Ukrainian Ail-American College Football Team, originated in 1935 by Philly's Al Yaremko and com­posed of college players of Uk­rainian or part Ukrainian de­scent, has again been selected from a large group of players. Players, coaches, athletic-pub­licity directors, team-mates and friends, all had a part in answering our Ukrainian grid­iron survey. As in the past sev­eral years, choosing the play­ers for the various teams was quite a task, but we feel our selections would do well on the gridiron opposing any team in the nation.

emphatically disagree. "The morphological and syntatic development of Russian," it is stated, "is made somewhat dif­ficult to trace historically, by the fact that Old Bulgarian, spoken by tribes along the Volga, became the ecclesiastic­al and literary language and remained so until the 17th cen­tury" (p. 293aa). The same misinformation is given In the 1947 edition and in the Hand­b o o k ( p . 3T8)T ' "'* ' " '

I fully agree as to the para mount importance of the Old Bulgarian ecclesiastical lan­guage for Slavistics and not only I, but surely all Slavists, deplore the fact'that the au­thor did not give more infor­mation about his studies on the morphological and syntac­tical development of Russian from the Old Bulgarian, spok­en by tribes along the Volga. The author's ignorance of the fundamentals of Slavistics as demonstrated in these pas­sages is obvious. If a fresh­man at Marquette University were to write something of the sort in an examination for the course "Survey of Slavic Na­tions," he would hardly earn a passing mark; but in the En­cyclopedia Americana this in­formation appears over the signature of Ernest J. Sim­mons, Executive Officer, De­partment of Slavic Languages. Columbia University, and he confers Ph. D. degrees on American students.

Summing up my remarks on the articles of the Encyclope­dia Americana: the Soviet the­ories and concepts are to be found in them although the American reader is given the impression, sometimes even by concealing the authorship, that he is reading the objective opinion of American scholars. All the data available from free anti-Communist scholars, especially by those belonging to the non-Russian nationali­ties, as to their history and present situation arc virtually passed over. I do not demand that the Communist party-line theories be disregarded, but I do demand, in the interest of objectivity and truth, a sim­ilar careful presentation to the American reader of the opin­ions of the free scholars from behind the Iron Curtain who have been in exile in Europe and in the United States since the 1920's. Instead of pres­enting both sides and objec­tively evaluating their argu­mentation, some American scholars, often parrot like, re­peat the Communist party-line as a revelation of truth.

At the halfback spots we have Pitt's BUI Sichko, an ex-Marine who ruined Miami U. with his run­ning this past season, and John Urabko of Oklahoma A and M, a triple threat star who is the finest punter in the Rocky Mountain region and one ofl the best line-backers in colle­giate r a n k s .

Many schools have discon­tinued football this season for one of many reasons, the main one being 'the war-conditions that currently prevail in this finest of all nations. Several Ukrainian lads who appeared on past "All Ukrainian" teams but whose schools eliminated the gridiron sport includes: Nick Chomko (Duquesne), An­drew Lcno.sky (Gannon Col­lege), and George Veder (C.C. N.Y.), all who played "end" position and John Palesty, captain of C.C.N.Y. A couple of boys who left for sen-ice while still having some eligib­ility for football remaining were Joe Koval (Pitt) and John Tullai (F. and M.).

Many of these Ukrainian boys listed are captains of their respective teams, includ­ing Mike Knopick (Wichita U.) .Alexander Molosh (Wilkes), Art Kalaka (N.Y.U.), Bert Re­chichar (Tennessee). Steve MIs-chissin (F.&M.), Wall Koha­nowich (Hofstra), Martin Tullai (W. Md.) and Steve Wadiak (So. Carolina).

The "Small College Team" backfield is a group that can really move. Quartebback John

Молодість і багатство і ) На широких просторах полтав-ідання

ської землі, над прозорими вода­ми Псла, розкинулось, потопаю­че в вишневих садах, невелике, але славне з козацьких часів міс­то Гадяч. Надзвичайно гарна природа приваблювала сюди ба­гато людей в літній час. щоб до­волі потішитися на сонці на пі­щаних берегах Мела; заглибити­ся в тінисті ліси, що схиляють твої віти над рікою; та пливти човном по синявих хвилях, час від часу, спустивши руку в воду, зірвати пишну білу лілею. Довко­ла міста розкидані села; їх білі хатки також тонуть в зелених садах, обведених густими тина­ми.

Недалеко від Гадяча, у підніж­жі високих скитських могил, лежить, невелике село Броварки. Зелені, встелені високою травою і різнобарвними квітами, луки відділяють це село від міста. Ви­сока, струнка тополя ще здавна пишаються на луках; від неї по­ловина дороги до Гадяча.

Багато літ тому в Броварках гтояла розкішна садиба поміщи­ці Катерини Федорівни Соляник, старенької 75-лІтньої бабусі, що не маючи жадної рідні, одиноко доживала свій вік. Одначе сказа­ти, що поміщиця доживала свій пік, доволі тяжко, бо, не дивля­чись на свої літа, Катерина Федо­рівна любила використати час не ііби-як. Вона влаштовувала різні прогулянки в ліс, плавання на човні, або забави в свосму гар­ному просторому будинкові, що майже завжди був переповнений гостями з різних кутків україн­ської землі.

Здавалося поміщиця зовсім не відчувала старости, хоч була де­що дивачкою.

Якраз тоді до Гадяча приїхав молодий вчитель Дмитро Сидоро­вич Орлик і буп в короткому часі познайомлений своїми співпра­цівниками з Катериною Федорів­ною, та радо почав вчащати до її садиби, почуваючи себе в ній, як у Бога за дверима. Поміщиця ставилася до молодого вчителя надзвичайно ласкаво, що дуже тішило товариша Дмитра, Олек­сія. Він був певний, що Катерина Федорівна любить молодого вчи­теля як сина, але скоро переко­нався, що це не було так. Живу­чи в розкошах, поміщиця не мог­ла в»к придумати, які ще ноунп,

пов'язані з народнім по­вір'ям, що надзвичайно лякало гостей. Жінки, майже притулив­шись одна до одної, зі страхом, але разом з тим і з приємністю, слухали його.

Олексій Федорович неспокійно поглядав на" Дмитра Сидоровича, даючи йому до зрозуміння, що хоче говорити про щось важливе, але останній удавав, що не по­мічає нічого.

„А тепер розкажу Вам щось, що трапилось в цьому селі, та про що розповідала мені знайома дів­чина з Гадяча", — оповідав він далі.

При слові дівчина, Катерина Федорівна неспокійно ворухнула­ся на кріслі, а Олексій подумав: .Напевно, Оля. вона знас так ба­гато цікавого". • '

..Давненько це було, — про­довжував Дмитро Сидорович. — На краю цього села жив одино­кий селянин, який виховував свою племінницю, що була круг­лою сиротою. Дівчина надзвн-

НА СВЯТ-ВЕЧІР В ж е різдвяна ніч оповила

землю, і ми вже хотіли розпо­чати вечерю, коли раптом у двері постукали, до кімнати зайшов сусід лікар, що жив сам і, певно, маючи вільний від праці вечір, вирішив пове­черяти разом і ? нашою сім'єю. „Я знав, що саме тут зможу провести Свят-вечір, бо ось за столом чекас мене вільний стілець", — промовив він, вка­зуючи на вільне місце, що, за звичаєм, залишалось вільним у Свят-вечір — там мав би си-д:ти незнаний вояк, що склав сиос життя за волю нашої Батьківщини. Всі ми радо привітали нашого сусіда і роз­почали вечерю. Страва за стравою змінювались на столі, але, коли ми з'їли кутю, і при­йшла черга на узвар, лікар зідкинувся на спинку стільця і заявив, що саме тепер ми му­симо зробити відпочинок, бо нема вже сили їсти, а лишати таке добро не покоштувавши,

кажу вам, як я провів Свят-

було б викинути витребеньки; нарешті на старости років, ма­буть, підкусив її диявол, бо вона закохалася в красуня Дмитра Сидоровича.

Одного чудового літнього вечо­ра, коли перші зорі замигкотілн на небі, і свіжий вітерець прили­нув від Псла, приносячн з собою веселі рохкання жаб; у садибі поміщиці зібралися безжурні гос­ті, дзвінко наспівуючи жартівли­вих пісень. Між ним був і Дмитро Сидорович з Олексієм. Дмитро Сидорович почував себе прекрас­но; весело сміявся, розказавши якісь жарти, або страшні опові­

дала над водою. Це дуже непо­коїло її дядька, який боявся, щоб вона не втопилася, бо навіть близько, привабливі води Псла криють в собі небезпеку: в бага­тьох місцях річки може наткну­тися на кручі. Але час минав, дівчина підростала, і селянин спокійно дивився на те, коли во­на вже дорослою красунею, зі сплетеним з польових квітів він­ком на голові, пропадала над во­дами Псла. Та нещастя трапи­лось тоді, як він не чекав його; одного дня дівчина не вернулася. Стурбований селянин довго блу­кав берегами ріки, шукав її в то­варишок, але даремно; вона зникла без сліду. Прибитий горем чоловік стратив надію на те, щоб її знайти живою, і молив Бога, щоб він повернув її хоч мертвою, щоб поховати її по-християнсько­му і знати де її могила. Так ми­нуло два роки...

Одної ночі, саме в літню пору, коли в хаті було душно, селянин вирішив спати в конюшні на сіні. Нерабаром його пробудив якийсь шум. Він не міг зрозуміти, що ді­ялось довкола нього: здавалося, його коні позривалися і бігають по конюшні. Цей тупіт і пробудив селянина, але в темряві він не міг нічого •бачитиі Вставши я аійа він помацки пішов туди, де стоя­ли його коні. Вони були на міс­цях, лише неспокійно тупали ко­питами і іржали. Не розуміючи причини їхнього неспокою, чоло­вік почав гладити і заспокоюва­ти їх. Це забірало йому досить багато часу, і після того він не міг заснути відразу. Так минуло кілька хвилин тишини. Незаба­ром коні занепокоїлися ще силь­ніше...

ТРИ ВИПАДКИ

Вечір 1943 poxy у місті Кобри-m коло Берестя. Кобрин в той час був у руках німців,- а бопьшевики стояли десь аж під Калінковичами, тому німці почували себе тут у повній безпеці і часто залишали місто на руки місцевої української влади, а самі виїздили до Бе­рі стя, де було розташоване їх­нє централнье управління. Так було і того вечора і всі ми знали, що в місті жадного нім­ця нема. Я тоді завідував місь­ким шпиталем і, зробивши ве­чірній огляд хворих, пішов з лікарні до свого будинку, що стояв окремо позаду лікарні у дворі, — таме жив лише я о-дин. Виставивши на стіл усі страви та залишивши, як на­лежить, одно вільне місце при столі, я сів за вечерю. Рапто­вий стук у двері моєї хати ме­не ніяк ие здивував, бо майже кожного вечора до мене при­ходили кілька разів з лікарні, коли комусь з хворих роби­лось гірше. Але, відчинивши двері, я побачив перед собою незнайому мені людину у біло­му кожушку з сивою шапкою 11J І'ЩШвгї'у чіяиілл Д шшшш-ми а ж за коліна, халявами, я-ка, привітно усміхнувшись, промовила: „Слава Україні! Приймайте господарю, гостя!"

Запросивши його до хати, я повів до столу. Людина скину­ла кожушок, повісила його ра­зом із шапкою на гачок і зай­шла до кімнати. Я побачив пе­ред собою кріпко збудованого чоловіка років за 50, з зовсім сивим волоссям на коротко о-стриженій голові, з гарно ви­голеним обличчям та з густи­ми сивими бровами над єди­ним зрячим оком; друге, зов­сім біле, було напівзакрите повікою. Я попросив його сіда­ти і наливши горілки в чарки та підсунувши смажену рибу й

пиріжки, просив вечеряти. „Чому ви не спитаєте, хто я? Може мені не годиться сідати на цей зайвий стілець біля столу?".

— „Про це будемо говорити пізніше, а зараз давайте вече­ряти, бо ви певно голодні та й мені вже пора перекусити. Тож будьмо здорові" — ми, випивши по чарці доброї горіл­ки, почали вечерю. Коли, від­сунувши рибу, я підсунув ближче кутю, гість промовив: „Через годину до вашої лікар­ні привезуть моїх поранених хлопців. Ми знаємо, що німці повернуться лише в п'ятницю, а тому вирішили ці п'ять день Свят провести між своїми людьми в місті. А щоб наші санітари, сестри і лікар теж мали відпочинок, ми вирішили положити своїх поранених до вас у лікарню. Коли вони по­чуватимуть себе зле, ми зали­шимо їх у вас і далі, бо певні, що тут вони будуть в повній безпеці. Німці їх не зачеплять, а ви доглянете їх якнайкраще. Тож можна вважати, що ця справа полагоджена, і ми мо­жемо заходжуватись коло ку­ті".

„Виходить, що місто тепер у руках наших повстанців" — промовив -Я;—

„Ви не помилились, ВІД­ПОВІВ гість, — бо Кобрин тепер у руках стрільців північної групи „Української повстансь­кої Армії або, як ми кажемо, Групи УПА — північ, а ваш гість — команпир тої групи".

Тільки тепер я зрозумів, який гість завітав до мене. Це був Одноокий Отаман, що ось уже півроку неподільно панує над всією нашою округою; це була людина, ім'я якої німці завжди згадували з великою пошаною; це була людина, що її слово було законом для всьо го населення, бо всі знали, що лише він рятує їх від кривди, яку чинили різні займанці. Са мс ця людина змусила німців, рятуючи своїх вояків від заги­белі, додержуватись неписаної угоди і ніколи не зачіпати ук­раїнських партизан, а зате партизани .дозволяли вільно рухатись. ї ш е п ь щ М - військо­вим частинам по опанованій ними окрузі.

Під час першої світової війни мав я цікаві випадки, які досьо-годні залишилися свіжими у мо­їй пам'яті. Дійсно монжа сказа­ти: людина стріляє, а Бог кулі носить.. Описую тут три з них.

«1. В 1015 році взяли мене до війська. Був я нічого собі хлоп­чина, з чорним, кучерявим волос­сям і дістався до лейб-гвардії Фіндлянського полку в Петрогра­ді, де добирали виключно чорно­волосих вояків. Там в касарнях на Васильовському Острові, діс­тав я рекрутську науку, а по кількох місяцях, відіслали мене до старшинської школи в Орісн-баумі. Незабаром перед іменован-Ням нас старшинами, приїхав до нас генерал Селеванов, автор спе-ціяльної таблички найточнішого обчислення влучного стріляння із скорострілів. Після всяких по­яснень і вправ, нивели нас в по­ле на босве стріляння. В одній лінії уставлено 150 скорострілів. Ми мали обстріляти невелику площу, й покрити її кулями, як решето. Коли все було зроблено для стріляння, генерал дав наказ „відкрити вогонь". Кожний з нас мав по 1,500 куль. Одноразове стріляння із 150 скорострілів ро­било приголомшливе враження. Ціла площа покрилася порохом. Дійсно там і муху забило б. Аж нагло затрубіло: „Перестати стріляти" і „відкинути замки" (остання команда унеможливлює будь який необережний постріл). Ми це виконали, не знаючи при­чини наглої перерви. Генерал і старшини спостерегли в далеко-виді, що „хтось" ходить по тій площі, ген, під лісом, яку ми не­милосердно обстрілювали. Ви­слано ордннарця-верхівця для перевірки. Ми напружували очі й лише бачили, що ординарець ско­чив з коня, щось взяв з землі і вертався до генерала. За кілька хвилин ми довідалися, що там був маленький песик, який „бі­гав за кулями". Нічого йому не

сталося, ані одна куля не влучи­ла "Його на тому смертоносному полі. Дійсно песик мав щастя. Дали його на кухню, а стріляни­на продовжувалася.

2. Іншим разом я був під Пере* мншлем. По здачі його ген. Кус-манеком, моя сотня розмістилася на ніч, недалеко кладовища, прн дорозі до села Негрібка. Світало. На стійці стояв стрілець Петро Галушка, з Полтавщини. Це був старшого віку стрілець.

Йому війна не була в голові. Стояв, нудився, хотів спати, а думками певно линув до рідного села, де залишив жінку, дітей і господарство. Нагло з'явився об­серваційний австрійський літак і високо в повітрі кружляв над фортецею. (Тоді літаки були рід­кі на фронті). Галушка не знав, що роби ги. Подивився, що нікого не мас навкруги і рішив раз стрільнути. Підняв рушницю вго­ру і „пустив" кулю на ворога. За кілька хвилин літак став все нижче і нижче опускатися і осів на землю. Люди з села оточили літуна і він дістався в полон. Під час допитів виявилося, що куля лопала в мотор і він мусів при­мусово сісти. Стали шукати „ви-новника" тої кулі. Ніхто не приз­навався, аж пізніше Галушка промовився. На рапорті оправду­вався, що він аби не заснути, стрілив, от так собі „на страх во­рогам". Галушка став знатною особою. Його нагородили хрес­том і добрим годинником, яким дуже тішився.

В Оріенбаумі десятками тисяч куль не забили песика, а тут од­нією кулею в повітрі влучено лі­така. Чи не дивно?

3. Скорострільчики знають, що в Першій світовій війні, в російсь­кій армії, уживали 3 роди скоро­стрілів: „Максима" взірця 1905 р. австрійський „Швацльозе", які дісталися, як трофеї і „Кольта" для кінноти. Найбільше було ско­рострілів „Максима". Він тяж­

кий; посередині. прикріплений прямовісно сталевий щит, який цілком певно боронив вояка від ворожих куль. В тому щиті с не­великий отвір для" люфн, для обсервації і прицілювання. Під час світової війни .в; 1915-16 році, під Дубном на Волині, я і мій приятель Михайло * Степура, у- • ставили свої скорострілн в доб­рому укритті, навели; їх на авст­рійські окопи, лежимо і дивимо­ся через отвір у дциті, чи який австріяк не покаже голови, щоб негайно стріляти. Такі вже зако­ни війни. Отак. Лежимо. Тихо. Розмовляємо. Без.будьякої при­чини захотілося мені помінятися місцями. Обережне і непомітно переповзли ми на свої нові місця і зразу же подивилися в сторону ворога. В той само момент, як Михайло глянув,* через отвір в щиті скоростріла, • .австрійська куля влучила просто-в його око. Михайло не сказав, ані слова, зсунувся і було по:всьому. Був мертвий. Чи це не призначення?

мені у Свят-Вечір єдину люди­ну, яка добре знала дійсний стан речей і тому мені цікаво було узнати його думку про сучасне становище.

„Тож тепер, — почав я, — коли ми вже трохи перекуси­ли, чи не були б ви такі ласка­ві сказати мені, чи большеви-ки поб'ють німців? Це не про­ста цікавість, це для мене пи­тання життя й смерти, бо за­лишатись тут при большеви-ках я ке можу вже хоч би то­му, що в моїй лікарні лежати­муть ваші стрільці". — „Це правда! Тому можу вас запев­нити, що всі німці покотяться до свого фатерлянду, — дуже вже заходились коло них аме­риканці! Це нам на горе американці з большевиками битись не будуть — союзни­ки ж ! Саме вони допоможуть совєтам розбити німців і при­брати большевикам нас до своїх рук. Але настане час, ко­ли американці матимуть нас за найкращих своїх друзів. Вже н тепер Б американській армії пліч-о-пліч борються й сини нашого народу, але вони ще нас не розуміють. Тепер ми, тільки ми добре знаємб, що то с — большевики, але вільний світ теж колись узнає большевиків і тоді він зрозу­міє й нашу боротьбу. Тільки ми тепер знаємо, що больше­вики зазіхають на панування в світ:, а коли про це довіда­ються й наочно побачать віль­

ні народи, вони зрозуміють, що наша повстанська армія — то увесь наш нарід, який бо­ровсь, бореться Й буде боро­тись проти большевицького рабства доти, аж поки не буде вільним. Воля для нашого на­роду — це повітря, і він знав, що здобути й можна лише знищивши большевизм, ЯКИЙ скрізь несе з собою рабство. Тож вільний світ колись пере­конається, що єдиний шлях зберегти волю — це наш шлях — шлях безкомпромісової бо­ротьба, а єдиний шанс на пе­ремогу — це допомога наро­дам поневоленим московським імперіялізмом. На цей шлях вільний світ мусітнме стати, якщо пін хоче зберегти собі волю, якщо він хоче зберегти свої культурні надбання. Без участи поневолених народів в боротьбі проти большевиків вільний світ не зможе розбити Москви Й сам загине, а наш непокірний нарід буде фізично знищений большевиками, як це зроблено з калмиками, то­варами, осетинами, чеченцями

"І? та німцями Поволжя, як це бу-'де зроблено ще з багатьма ін­шими народами".

Тут раптом постукали в две­рі і на порозі з'явився вояк у німецькій уніформі разом з другим воякам, що був одягне ний у червоноармійський од- Божу.

нострій. Обоє за плечима мали кріси.

,.Пане полковнику! — звер­нувсь „німець" до мого гостя. — Наші хлопці вже коло лі­карні'."

— „Добре, хлоп'ята! Ми за­раз разом із лікарем ї х влаш­туємо", -г— промовив мій гість і почав одягати кожушок.

За півгодини хлопці вже ле­жали в .окремій палаті, а Одно­окий Отаман, дякуючи мені за гостину .та прохаючи догляну­ти йоі о хлопців, сів на воза і поїхав разом із своїми стріль­цями.

На Водохрища я взнав, що саме гої різдвяної ночі пов­станці Одноокого Отамана до­щенту розбили великий відділ „красшгх партизан", що гра­бували селян довкола Кобрн-на. А через тиждень після Во­дохрища до лікарні увечорі під'їхало дві селянські підво­ди і забрали зміцнілих за цей час стрільців. Весною того ж року я мусів покинути Кобрин і подався на Захід. Тож більше нічого про долю гостя, який прийшов до мене на вечерю у С^ят-Вечір, я вже не чув". Лі­кар замовк, а дружина почала передавати нам усім узвар і прохала вже закінчувати ве­черю, щоб ми могли вчасно ви­братись до церкви на Службу
