From day to night two powerful ration stations in Kiev and Lviv are constantly hammering into the ears of Ukrainians how bad the United States is; how corrupted and mercenary our democratic civilization is; how this government is planning a new world conflagration. This is the sort of bilge being fed the Ukrainian people through the Ukrainian radio stations in the Soviet Union. The Ukrainian displaced persons in Western Europe and Britain, too, are anxious to hear the Voice of America in the Ukrainian language. Right now, in Germany, there is a campaign of letter-writing to the Voice of America, requesting the SELF RELIANCE Ukrainian broadcasts. The campaign, organized by the newspaper Nedilia, is being supported by all Ukrainian groups, parties, churches, social and professional NEW YORK organizations.

For the first time in U.S. diplomatic history, with the exception of President Woodrow Wilson's proclamation of a "Ukrainian Day"in 1918, an American chief executive took official cognizance of the plight of the Ukrainian people and their о—І struggle for freedom. President Truman's reference to the interest which the Americans of Ukrainian descent are taking in their kinsmen overseas who "are not able to enjoy the benefits of a free society which we in the United States are fortunate to enjoy" carries greater significance than appears on the surface. It is IN REGARDS THE MILLENNIUM frank recognition that Ukraine, despite its nominal membership in the United OF CHRISTIANITY IN RUS UKRAINE Nations, is an enslaved nation.
