nothing at all to eat. Mr. Duranty, who visited Ukraine during this heinous time (with the blessing of the Soviet government), chose to ignore such cruel realities and chose instead to minimize and even blatantly lie about what he witnessed. We can only imagine what self-serving motives prompted these lies, and we are dismayed that the Pulitzer Prize Committee has chosen to condone them. The Committee claims that the Pulitzer Prize was awarded to Mr. Duranty for articles and reports written at other times and on other themes and that it is for his excellent reports on these other themes that the Pulitzer Prize was awarded. To this we can only reply that a journalist's work must be judged in its entirety and that a jour nalist who covers up the genocide of millions of innocent people deserves contempt rather than recognition. The Committee's decision not to revoke the Pulitzer Prize awarded to this Stalinist puppet is inexcusable. It is an affront to every reporter and journalist who honors the profession by writing the truth. It is an injustice that defames American ideals and mocks the U.S. Bill of Rights by implying that freedom of the press means freedom to lie, freedom to ignore the truth, and freedom to avoid responsibility. Above all, your decision shows a callous disregard for the victims of the Great Famine. It was the work of people like Walter Duranty that permitted the Soviet regime to slaughter millions with impunity, shielded from public outrage by the lies of stooges who were more concerned with enhancing their own image by cultivating rela tionships with the Soviet elite. We are deeply saddened that you have chosen to protect this image rather than to expose Mr. Duranty for what he truly was, a man who lacked the courage and integrity to tell the world the truth and a man who disgraced a noble profession. The decision that was made does credit to no one. In defending the indefensible you have degraded the Pulitzer Prize and made it a meaningless trophy that stands for nothing. We urge you to take the moral high ground in this matter, to have the courage to admit that an error was made, and to revoke a prize that should never have been awarded. Respectfully yours, Iryna Kurowyckyj, President Ukrainian National Women’s League of America Congratulations Nusia l asian!
