some Ukrainian “patriots” who confront the new immi grants about their lack of knowledge of the Ukrainian language, the fact that they use Polish words, etc. Many of these young people feel discouraged and leave. They turn to other nationalities, most likely Polish, which welcome them eagerly. Mrs. Duplak also said that some Ukrainians of the second immigration — late 40’s and 50’s — felt that Ukrainian immigrants from Poland and particularly from Lemkivshchyna were second class citizens, partially due to their particular dialect of the Ukrainian language. Many new immigrants don’t speak Ukrainian at all. The Ukrainian Free University in Munich, Germany is help ing in this matter, by providing courses in the Ukrainian language for these people. In conclusion, Mrs. Duplak expressed the opinion that the new immigrants represent a young, professional and positive group and that sooner or later they will become active and productive members of the Ukrain ian community.
