б; «ЖІНОЧИЙ СВІТ» high churchmen have said іп their appeal to all civilized mankind, must be accepted as worthy and credible. And the situation which the ap- peal tells in a few words is soul-stirring. “In’ the clutches of death”! “Dying of starvation”! Those phrases are clarion cries to all humanity but especially to you, my friends, is their meaning more poignant, more significant. That you realize your duty in this situation, I can readily believe, from this great de- monstration of protest against an attempt to extermin- ate your race. Wherever your people are to be found in large numbers similar demonstrations would spread the truth about the sufferings in the Ukraine and, perhaps, lead to some improvement, Russia’s mischievous madmen may be expected to deny again, that famine exists, as they did in. the famine of 1921-2 when 3,000,000 of your countrymen were undergoing actual starvation. They will proba- bly point to the great and abundant harvests in the Ukraine and deride the thought, in their own specious manner, that the people are in want or are suffering. Visitors to Russia are excluded from the Ukraine. ‘They were excluded in 1921-2. Representatives of the American Relief Administration were then informed that all was well in the Ukraine, and that the Russian government could not understand why the American Relief Administration should desire to penetrate a district in which there were actually surplus crops! Professor Fisher of the American Relief Administrat- ion in his book, “Famine in Soviet Russia,” bears witness to this inhuman misrepresentation. In a country so territorially extensive аз Russia it is comparatively simple to divert the foreigner, who is seeking information, to towns and districts which are not famine-stricken, and to let him see But you only what Soviet Russia wants him to see. know, and the bishops of Galicia know, that famine, grim and destructive, is stalking through the Ukraine, claiming its victims by the thousands. All who think may read the purpose of these Bolshevists. It is part and parcel of their policy of either enslavement or extermination of the Ukrainians. It is on a par with their expulsion of your scholars from the Ukrainian Academy of Science, and the dismissal of your patri- otic professors from the Ukrainian Agricultural Academy. It is in line with their action in suspending work on the Ukrainian dictionary, because it might promote the nationalistic spirit, and with their weak- minded attempt to “edit” the patriotic utterances of your great poet, Shevchenko. You have no time to lose if you would do your duty. This great demonstration should record its protest against the treatment accorded theUkraine by the Soviet authorities and, in the name of humanity, which is greater than any or all nations, demand an improvement in the intolerable and destructive con- ditions there prevailing. You might well forward a copy of this resolution to the President of the United States, and to each representative in the League of Nations. And while you are so engagd, it might serve your purpose to take up the suggestion of a French per for the of an i commission to investigate the entire situation. You are far removed from Russia, but the mails will carry your protest to every government in Europe and cost but little. Bolshevism hates to be exposed. Expose it. Com- municate to all the governments of the world what you do here today and why, and wait for results. The Soviets may turn aside a few inquiring foreigners, but if the voice of the world demands inquiry the situation is changed. Do it now. Europe owes you consideration. You deserve much at her hands. For generations your Cossacks stood between her and destruction at the hands of the Mongol, Tartar and Turkish hordes that invaded Europe. The Ukraine made a aty with Russia in 1654, which extended her equality and sovereignity, and in December, 1917, was proclaimed a е republic. The Bolshevists have blighted that realization, but you are not going to submit to their hypocrisy and tyranny. You are going to show the world that you have the strength and will of your courageous ancestors, who resisted to the death Pole, Tartar and Russian. And, also, to prove that Shevchenko did not strive in vain, and that his purpose is yours —to make the Ukraine free. THE PROTEST meeting at which Prof. Ireton poke was sponsored by the nationalistic organ- nizations of the cities of Hamtramck and Detroit. The committee which had charge of the arrangements was headed by Dr. A. Т. Kibzey and Rev, Strutynsky and included a representative of each organization participating in the event. inians of Detroit are to be heartily com- mended for taking the initiative step in arranging such a protest parade and meeting, designed to inform the general public of our grievances against Russia, Very expedient in exposing the cruel policy of оргез- sion adopted by the Bolsheviks in Ukraine was the pamphlet prepared by Mrs. Marie Gambal, which presented a true and realistic statement of facts, based upon authoritative sources. Other communities, such as Boston, Mass., Ambridge, Pa. and New York City have already staged similar demonstrations, thereby performing their duty in this respect. Yet it is hoped that every community which boasts at least a small percentage of Ukrainians will follow suit, for only a united voice of protest will arouse the cold and indifferent states- men and urge them to demand an investigation of the unbearable conditoins prevalent in Soviet Russia.
