Remarks of Honorable H. Alex. Smith of New Jersey IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1951 Mr. Smith of New Jersey. Mr. President, ever since it was my privilege to visit the Ukraine DP camp in Germany in the summer of 1947 and to talk with the lead ers there of the Ukrainian insur gent movement, I have been pro foundly interested in Ukraine and the great courage of its people who have consistently resisted the totalitarian dictatorship of Soviet Russia. In this connection I wish to call the attention of the Senate to an article written by Dr. Lev E. Do- briansky, professor of George town University and president of the Ukrainian Congress Commit tee of America, on the timely subject of ‘Tactics, Not a Stra- tegy, of Freedom,” which appear ed in the January 1, 1951, issue of the Ukrainian Bulletin, a pub lication of the Pan-American Uk rainian Conference. This article contains certain concrete proposals for American policy toward Soviet Russia. I am sure all Senators will find these proposals interesting and chal lenging, and will admire the spir it which motivates them. All who read this article will join sympathetically in its tribute to the courageous leadership of the late Gen. Taras Chuprynka, commander of the still very active Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) which operates politically and militarily behind the Iron Curtain. All believers in freedom suffered a loss when General Chu prynka fell in battle with Russian MVD troops on March 5, 1950, in Western Ukraine. When word of his death was recently received by the free world, his loss was mourned not only by Ukrainians but also by Li thuanians, Croats, Slovaks, Poles, Hungarians, Georgians, Latvians, Cossacks, Turkestans, and many others who have known intimate ly the general cause for which he fought, and for which his Ukrain ian Insurgent Army is still cour ageously fighting. The people of America and the peoples of the free nations, who today are building our strength to preserve peace, cannot bat be in spired and reassured by the hero- Contact with the national or ganization offers to the members of a local club new and stimulat ing friendships with women whose vision and interests extend beyond local horizons and large opportunities, through organized effort, for service in the commun ity, the nation and the world. The purpose of a Junior Club in community is to bring together young women in an organization where they can use their enthu siasm to benefit themselves and their community by promoting its civic, cultural, educational and social welfare. All the best qualifications for an officer of an organization should be embodied in its Presi dent. The responsibility for the success of a Junior Club and its growth in service rest upon her shoulders. She should plan her meetings with care, but should never dominate the group. A Pre sident who is just taking office will select her committees and re lay to them their respective du ties, as she is an ex-officio mem ber of every committee. With ef ficient committees selected, her duties as President should bring about a pleasant association with ism of these fighters for freedom behind the Iron Curtain for whom there is no peace. I ask unanimous consent that this commemorative statement by Dr. Dobriansky be printed in the Appendix of .the Record. There being no objection, the statement was ordered to be printed in the Record, every member of the club. If there are cliques in the club, the President should be no part of any of them. She is the leader for all members. Her suggestions to the other officers relating to their duties should be tactful but de finite. A monthly executive meet ing: serves as a useful check on the progerss of the club’s work. The President should give the of ficers every possible aid, but she should not assume their respon sibilities. All meetings should be gin and close on time. New mem bers should be greeted by the President and made to feel at once that they are part of the club. A new President of an ex isting club does not begin an en tirely new regime, but carries on any valuable work of her prede cessor. good club member learns about the policy and purpose of a club before joining. Attends all meetings and is on time. Pays her dues promptly, with the knowledge of the big return on her investment. Gives her loyalty to the officers and fellow club members, and to all club projects. Knows the constitution and by What Every Club Member Should Know?
