in observance of The Weekly's 50th From our pages in 1936

This week, in continued observance of The Ukrainian Weekly s 5()lh anniversary, Ukrainian Weekly we publish excerpts of editorials from the year 1936. The U.N. and Ukraine January 11, 1936: A matter deserving of serious consideration by our youth is that of some of our in a recent letter to U.N. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick, New Jersey Rep. people changing their Ukrainian family names to what they consider is Matthew Rinaldo urged her to introduce a resolution seeking to replace the "American." Although this deplorable practice is not confined only to American Soviet-picked delegates from Ukraine with those more representative of the Ukrainians but includes other foreign-nationality groups as well, still for us it Ukrainian nation. He suggested that members ol the Ukrainian Helsinki assuTn.s a special significance in the light of the character of the Ukrainian Group have a far more legitimate right to represent the Ukrainian people than immigration in America. those selected by Ukraine's oppressor. various excuses are advanced by those changing their family names to conform Rep. Rinaldo is right, of course. But. unfortunately, being right means very with Anglo-Saxon standards, it is said that the Ukrainian name is hard to write in little in the United Nations, which has become little more than a self-serving English and still more difficult to pronounce. Others say that a foreign-sounding forum for member-countries, most of them decidedly anti-Western. family name is a decided hindrance in trade, business and profession. Still others change their names in an effort to shed as rapidly as possible every characteristic - The mechanics of such a resolution also pose a problem.

Given these obstacles, chances for passage of a resolution phonetically, with strict adherence to pronunciation.

Rinaldo's suggestion that the United States The defendants in this trial consist of young Ukrainians drawn from various raise the issue is useful because it would reaffirm the notion that the Soviet walks of life, from the farm, from the city, from the poorer classes as well as from Union is a colonial empire, while openly challenging the degree of the U.N.'s higher society.

They now find themselves before the Polish court simply because of their Ukrainian patriotic activities. The specific charge brought against them is membership in the Organization of Lifting sanctions Ukrainian Nationalists — an organization which arose in those dark days immediately after the world war when the newly arisen Western Ukrainian President Ronald Reagan's recent decision to lift some economic Republic, attacked on all sides by its various enemies, was finally overthrown by restrictions against Poland is a mixed bag.
