To our great dismay, the well-intentioned steps of the Committee for Law and Order in the UCCA have not met with similar expressions of good will on the part of representatives of the Ukrainian Liberation Front and, therefore, they fell apart, having encountered their unfavorable stance. This position of Liberation Front representatives has also been taken by long-time UCCA president Dr. Lev Dobriansky, who recently published his "Second Call for Unity" (see America, March 6). Dr. Dobriansky has accomplished much for the Ukrainian liberation cause through his activity in Washington, especially in the U.S. Congress. However, he displayed neither any special interest in the internal problems of our Ukrainian community, nor, therefore, the requisite awareness and knowledge of these problems. Now, in his "Second Call for Unity," Dr. Dobriansky, writing on the basis of one-sided and tendentious information, and — as is obvious in the aforementioned "Call" — on the advice of representatives of the Ukrainian Liberation Front, himself agrees with the position of the Liberation Front at the congress and within the UCCA and calls on its opponents to partake of such "unity." President Ronald Reagan, in his inaugural address in January, told America's rivals in the sphere of international politics: compromise — yes; capitulation — never. Dr. Dobriansky, in fact, calls for capitulation before those who brought about these gross violations of law and order — the law (Continued on page 1?) 4„^THE UKRAINIAN WEEKLY SUNDAY, MAY З, І98І„„.^„„„„„„„„„„^No. 18 Dr. Bociurkiw named trustee East European Democrats endorse of Canada's National Museum Degnan for Jersey governor OTTAWA — Canadian Secretary of World War H.
