u n d e r S o v i e t r u l eELL ICOTT CITY, Md. - A letter

that describes the adversity suffered byone Ukrainian family from Volyn hasmade its way to the West via the

Russian samizdat, reported the Sm olo-skyp Ukrainian Information Service.

It was written, in 1980 and titled "TheRight Jo Have N o Rights" by a womannamed H. Sbyl iuk. Fol lowing areexcerpts that describe the hardships thiswoman has experienced in her life:

"When I was born in 1 950, my fatherhad already finished what he called the'life institute' — the years he spent inprisons and labor camp s. I had not evenreached the happy m oment of know inga father's love when he was once againthrown behind these 'academic walls'for two additional years," she writes.

MirShyKuk goes oh to describeher'mother's painstaking efforts to get theSoviet government to release her hus

band. At this time, M s. Shyliuk's oldersister died of tuberculosis at age 15. Herfather was not granted permission toattend the funeral.

She writes:"When my father was leaving for

prison he said good-bye to five of us;returning he was greeted by only four.The traumas we ail lived throughaffected the health of the entire family. Iremember my father with a head of grayhair, he was not yet 40.

"My mother also had grey hair fromher worries, at the age of 40 . My oldestbrother, who carried the weight of thefamily on his shoulders had a head ofgrey hair at some 20-odd years of age.These, are the memories of my childhood.

"An individual lives for the dream,and faith o f better things to com e in thefuture. This hope gives one faith andstrength to get though the daily hardships and obl igat ions and grief. Itseemed to be that I was the only onewho lived like this, for I never venturedout among people."

Ms. Shyliuk notes that her childhoodpassed quickly, soon it was time to startearning her own way. She got a job -physical labor — a job that even astrong adult male would have troublewith. "To tell the truth, I immediatelysaw the 'equal rights' of men andwomen, in words, deeds and muscles.

MA DR ID - Western, Soviet-blocand neutral delegations at the deadlocked Madrid Conference to reviewimplementation of the 1975 HelsinkiAccords on human rights and securityin Europe agreed on March 8 to recessuntil the fall following a session onMarch 12, reported The New YorkTimes.

The decision to recess was agreedupon when the United States and itsallies refused to accept a further working agenda to underscore their contention that the military repression inPoland made meaningful negotiationshere, impossible at this time.

Representatives of the 35 signers ofthe Helsinki agreement have beenmeeting here for 16 months to try tobroaden the provis ions on humanfreedoms, economic exchanges and thepeaceful resolut ion of internationaldisputes.

Sines the conference began, pjogressin these areas has been sluggish, due inlarge part to such factors as the Soviet

invasion of Afghanistan and its confinement of dissidents and Western attackson these and other violations of theoriginal pact.

The conference was further hinderedby Soviet intransigence on accepting acompromise solution on a post-Madridsecurity conference put forth by theneutral and non-aligned countries.

The imposition of martial law inPoland on December 13 exacerbatedthe situation , particularly after Westernforeign m inisters — including Secretaryof State Alexander H aig - came herelast month to chastise the Polish military government and the Soviet Unionfor its role in the crisis.

The Soviet Union responded at first

by resorting to procedural m aneuvers toblock Western speakers, a strategy thatcaused a furor on February 9 when thechairman of that day's session, Poland `s

Wlodzimierz Konarski, tried to stopdebate by recessing the meeting beforeall the scheduled speakers had addressed the gathering.

Later, the Soviets maintained thatonly the Warsaw Pact countries wereinterested in businesslike negotiations,and accused the NATO allies of tryingto sabotage the meeting.

After NATO nations refused toparticipate in drafting sessions, itbecame evident that the conference

would have to be adjourned.On Friday, March 5, emphasizingtheir impatience with the situation,NATO nations withheld agreement toan agenda for this week's sessions. Sincethe Helsinki ground rules require consensus among all 35 participants, thatsession lasted until 4 a.m. Saturday,then resumed on March 8.

Over the weekend of March 6-7, aninformal group including the SovietUnion, Austria and the United Statessought a way out of the impasse andfinally succeeded on March 8, according to The Times. The West agreed toone more week of talks in Madrid, whilethe Soviets agreed to an Austrian proposal that the last session be March 12.

Although the date of reconvening thetalks in the autumn has not beendecided, it seems likely that all sides w illagree on November 9. Some diplomatshope, The Times said, that during this"cooling-off period" the internationalclimate will have improved enough tomake further discussions here feasible.Others suspect that the current deadlock will recur.

The Madrid review meeting has runfar longer and at times been far stormierthan its predecessor held in Belgrade in1977. But its cumbersome consensusoperating procedure has prevented itfrom breaking up, part icularly as

neither East nor West wants to beblamed for such an event.

"We seem to be creating the Helsinkiforum as a permanent institution," TheTimes quoted one West Europeandiplomat as saying. "I think we have todecide whether or not this is a goodthing. Maybe it is a good thing."

K O R founder: Sol idar i ty "underest imated" partyBO NN , West Germany - Adam

Michnik, co-founder of the Polishdissident group KOR, said that hismain regret about Poland' s IS

months of freedom seems to be thatthe Solidarity trade union was too"naive" and underest imated thePolish Communist Party.

The veteran dissident and historianmade his remarks in the first essaysmuggled to the West from his suburban Warsaw cell which appearedin the March 8 issue of the Germanmagazine Der S piegel. The essay wasthe subject of a story by ElizabethPond in the March 9 issue of TheChristian Science Monitor.

The aim o f the D ecember "putsch,"writes Mr. Michnik, was a "classiccounterrevolution against the workers in the name of defending theconservative interests of the old

regime."In 1976, Mr. Michnik, along with

activist Jacek Kuron, formed KOR- the Com mittee for Social Self-

De fense - to defend workers jailedduring the anti-government uprisings that summer. When Solidarity was formed in the summer of1980, KOR activists acted as advisors to the union's leadership.

In his essay, Mr. Michnik, who hasbeen jailed 32 times for human -rights

activism, scorns the official justification for martial law - that Solidaritysought political power.

"Solidarity had neither a shadowcabinet nor a program for a coupd'etat," he says.

The real cause of the putsch, heargues, was the fact that the "existence of an independent and self-runinstitution supported by the peoplewas unacceptable" to a ruling classalienated from the people.

Unlike many Western analysts,Mr. Michnik does not feel that theunion simply went too far or too fastwith its demands for greater social,political and economic freedoms. H edescribes Solidarity as a "self-limiting revolution."

Moreover, Mr. Michnik is said tohave urged caution on Solidarity, aposition which ultimately led to a

split with the more radical Mr.Kuron.

In the essay, Mr. Michnik acknow ledges that a major impediment tothe Solidarity movem ent was that ithad to overcome a social traditionwhich for 37 years was "far removedfrom democratic institutions." In thisenvironment the spontaneous socialmovement'of Solidarity had no clearconcept of how to proceed.

"It let itself be easily provoked

to arguments over unknportantthings; there were many false conflicts in it," he writes. Solidarityitself, he goes on, was "a colossus

with feet of steel, but with hands ofclay."Looking at the weaknesses of its

adversary, however, Solidarity forgot that the "Communist system inPoland was a colossus with feet ofclay, but with hands of steel." In Mr.Michnik `s view, Solidarity forgotthat despite all the weaknesses, an"apparatus of force, untroubled bydemocratic corrosion, can be a usefulinstrument in the hands of a dictatorial power, especially in the hands ofa dictatorship that finds the floorburning under its feet."

Mr. Michnik draws faint optimismfrom the conviction that brute forcecan never "wipe out the memory of

15 months of freedom from thememory of men." He also feels thatmoral support from the West isimportant, but that economic sanctions against P oland should not havebeen introduced.

Finally, Mr. Michnik wishes hiscomrades "much strength to be ableto step through the darkness that liesbetween despair and hope. A nd alsomuch patience, to learn the difficultart of forgiveness."

Polish government actions aimed

a t intimidating Catholic ChurchWA RS AW - Polish authorit ies

recently sentenced one Catholic priestfor slandering the government andcharged another in connection with thelulling of a policeman in what appearsto Ь е - а л a t tempt to in t imidate thecountry's powerful Catholic Church,

the most vocal critic of martial law.The Polish press agency PAP disclosed last week that the Rev. B.Jewulski was sentenced to three and ahalf years' imprisonment on a charge of"slandering Poland's system and authorities."

The charge stems from a sermondelivered on December 20, one weekafter martial law was imposed. It wasthe first known instance in which apriest has been sentenced to prisonunder martial law.

In the other case, a priest identifiedonly as "Sylwester Z." was arrested inconnection with the shooting of apoliceman on a streecar in broad day

light. The New York Times reportedthat suspects are-generally not identified in Poland until sentence is passed.

The Polish press reported that arevolver said to have been used in thekilling was found in the parish home ofthe priest.

Two other men accused of actuallycarrying out the killing were alsoapprehended, according to a spokesmanfor the Interior Ministry. The officialannouncement said that "the two actedin an organized gang of several people,"The Times reported.

The authorities have said that thepoliceman, Sgt. Zdislaw Karos, wasshot in cold blood by two men whojumped on the streetcar and thenescaped in a red Polish Fiat. Unofficialversions assert that the policeman wasintoxicated, became involved in a brawlwith passengers and was shot with hisown gun during a tussle.

Lidia Vashchenko thanks R eagan

f o r letter supporting familyO R A N G E , Calif. - Lidia Vash

chenko, the 31-year-old Pentecostalwho two months ago was removed fromthe U.S. Embassy in Moscow andplaced in a Soviet hospital after herhealth had deteriorated because of ahunger strike, wrote a letter onFebruary 11 to President Ronald Reagan in her hospital room thanking himfor his letter supporting her family andtheir plight, reported Keston News.

In the short letter, Ms. Vashchenkohinted that she may go on anotherhunger strike if Soviet authoritiescontinue to stonewall her efforts to gainemigration rights for herself and members of her family.

In July 1978 five members of theVashchenko family along with MariaChmykhalov and her son Timothyrushed passed Soviet guards and soughtsanctuary in the U.S. Embassy. Untilrecently, they had lived in a smallbasement room while the U nited S tatesand the Soviets could not agree on howto resolve their dilemm a. They have sincebeen given another room.

In December Ms. Vashchenko andher mother A ugustina went on ahunger strike to draw attention to theirplight and their desire to emigrate. OnJanuary 30, Ms. V ashchenko was takenfrom the embassy to Botkin hospitalafter her weight had dipped below 100pounds.

She was released from the hospital onFebruary 11 and has since joinedrelatives in her hometown of С п ег –nogorsk, Siberia. Soviet officials areexpected to rule later this month onemigration applications by Ms. Vashchenko. The other Pentecostals remainin the embassy, with Soviet authoritiesinsisting that they must first return toSiberia before emigration procedurescan begin.

The full text of Ms. Vashchenko'sletter, which was translated from theRussian by her sister Liuba on February 12, to President Reagan appearsbelow.

Dear President:I would like to thank you for your

letter addressed to my mother and me.I was a little doubtful about the text

of your letter but after I heard it throughVoice of America I was glad that it hadbeen publicized. I hope, as well, thatyou will try to help my family in the.question of emigration, and I ask you

about that very much.I am leaving for Siberia, to our

children (her younger brothers andsisters — E d.j and 1 want to continue myappeal to emigrate from there. But I amnot sure what actions I can make thereexcept the hunger strike which I plan todo if the question of emigration of myfamily is delayed.

I accepted this action to go back toChernogorsk because our children need

moral support. I ask you please do notforget about us when you speak w ith theSoviet government.

Please accept the words of gratitudeto you, your government and to thepeople of your country from me.

The latest issue of Russkyi yazyk іliterature v shkolakh Ukr.SSR, aspecialized journal for teachers of theRussian language in Ukraine, carriesa short report on a recent session of the

Collegium of the Ukrainian SSR Ministry of Education that met to evaluatethe campaign to improve the study andteaching of Russian in the republic.

According to the report, the collegiumwas specifically convened to examineprogress in the implementation of theresolution "On Measures for FurtherImproving the Study and Teaching ofthe Russian Language in the GeneralEducation Schools and PedagogicalEducation Institutions of the Republic"adopted by the Ukrainian SSR Ministry of Education on October 31, 1978.'

Since the adoption of that resolution,problems associated with the teachingof Russian in the republic's schools have

been discussed at conferences convenedby a majority of Ukraine's 25 oblasts,and in 1980 a republican-level scientific-practical conference was organized todiscuss "Ways of Im proving the Preparation of Teachers of the RussianLanguage in the Higher EducationalInstitutions of the Ukrainian SSR."

Beginning in 1980, the teaching ofRussian was introduced in preparatoryclasses and in the first grades of schoolswith Ukrainian as the language ofinstruction; the number of hours devoted to Russian-language study hasbeen increased in all general educationschools; and by the end of the currentfive-year plan the number of schoolsoffering intensive study of Russian

language and literature is scheduled toincrease almost threefold.

In the area of preschool eduction, theMinistry of Education has definedcurriculum requirements for the teachingof Russian in preschool institutions,and the requisite changes have beenmade in the "Program and Methologi-cal Directives for the Upbringing ofChildren in Preschool Institutions."

The practice of dividing pupils intosubgroups for more effective Russian-language instruction had been instituted in the rural schools of Ukrainealready in 1974. Now it is being gradually introduced in the first threegrades of all non-Russian schools and in

grades four through eight of urbanschools where the language of instruction is Moldavian, Hungarian or Polish.It is envisioned that by 1986 the division of pupils into more compactlearning groups will be completed in allgrades.

Other steps that have been taken tobolster the study a sd teaching ,pf Russian include the improvement of curricula, publication of new textbooks andteaching aids, and the systematic retraining of teachers. Finally, it shouldbe noted that a new non-periodical

journal, Russkoye yazykoznaniye, beganpublication in Kiev in 1980.

Citing all of these initiatives, therecent report states that "in the main,the measures are being carried outsuccessfully." Nonetheless, the overallthrust of the report is quite negative,indicating that the collegium is far fromsatisfied with the progress that has beenmade so far. The main problem is thatthe level of expertise in Russian, bothamong pupils and among students inthe higher educational institutions, isnot improving rapidly enough. "For asegment of the graduates o f the pedagogical institutions," says the report, "thelevel of mastery of Russian discourse ispoor."

In order to improve the situation inthe schools, the Ministry of Educationhas developed a set of "Common Requirements for the Oral and WrittenLanguage of Pupils, for Carrying Out,Written A ssignments and the Exam ination of Exercise Books" that has beenmade obligatory in the schools.

In addition, beginning in the currentschool year an experimental analysis ofnew curricula for the Ukrainian andRussian languages developed by theDepartment of the Methodology ofLanguage of the Scientific ResearchInstitute of Pedagogy of the UkrainianSSR has been introduced in a numberof schools in the city of Kiev. The

purpose of this experiment is to developstill further the already existing curricula:

"The scientific associates proceedfrom the fact that at the present timestill a significant part of school graduates has not mastered the language asa means of discourse and is not attaining the requisite level of languageculture. An analysis ,of the pupils'knowledge shows that one of the reasons for this situation is to be found inthe structure of today's school coursesin the Ukrainian and Russian languages, which does not allow for exercises and practical work that is neces-

The experimental curricula foreseethe comp let ion; of the learn ing ofgrammar and orthography in the seventh grade, thereby permitting pupilsin the eighth grade to concentrate onreviewing and strengthening their acquired skills.

As can be seen from;the above, themain problem facing Soviet languageplanners in Ukraine is largely of atechnical sort — i.e., maximizing thealready significant gains attained by theRussian language over the years, particularly in the republic's urban areas.

This is important not only with a viewtowards the Ukrainians themselves butalso because the Ukrainian highereducational institutions, together withthose of Byelorussia, are expected to aidtheir RSFSR counterparts in trainingsignificant numbers of Russian-language teachers from the Central Asianand other non-Slav republics. Towardsthat end, the campaign to improve thestudy and teaching of the Russianlanguage continues unabated'.

Each 30-minute program containsinspirational m usic and a message fromthe Bible by various preachers.

The first program of the UkrainianVoice of the Gospel was beamed intoUkraine starting in June 1966 fromTrans World Radio in Monte Carlo. Asecond weekly program was added in

In his statement to the press, Mr.Maguire criticized the Reagan adm inistrat ion pol icy as "an escalat ion ofs t r iden t rhe tor ic , sca t t e r -gunnedarou nd the wor ld . " He fu r the r ad monished the administration for liftingthe Soviet grain embargo and for de-emphasis of international human rights.

On foreign pol icy and domesticissues, Mr. Maguire called forreinstate-ment of the Soviet grain embargo, andsuggested a means of leveraging thePolish debt to Western lenders without

causing chaos in financial markets.Mr. Maguire also called for discus

Addressing domestic issues, Mr.Maguire offered a six-point job-producing program for the economy emphasizing productivity, research anddeve lopment , expor t s and a s t ab lemo netary policy.

Sovie ts seek suprem acy in chem ica l wa r fa re.S . a t M ad r id:Following is the text of a statement

d el iv ered b y A m b assa d or M a x К а т –pelman, chairman of the United Statesdelegation to the M adrid Conferencewhich is reviewing compliance with the1975 Helsinki Accords. The statementwas made on February 16 at an infor-mal meeting of delegation heads.

I rise to reply to a rather surprising

statement by the delegate from theSoviet Union at our plenary session lastweek. The procedural chaos on Tuesday made the exercise of this right ofreply inappropriate; our long list ofspeakers on Friday made it undesirable.I will address myself now to a narrowportion of the delegate's strange criticism of my country. Since this is aninformal meeting of the heads of delegation, I will do so with some specificity,comfortable in the knowledge that itwill not serve to divert our attentionfrom the violence that has been perpetrated against the people of Poland inviolation of the H elsinki Final A ct.

The Soviet delegate.crit icized my

government for engaging in chemicalwarfare preparation. The reason 1described this reference as "surprising"and "strange" is that I would havethought this to be a subject that theSoviet U nion would want to keep awayfrom, since they have made every effortto hide from the world their ownpriority attention to this form of brutality.

All of m ankind lives with the horriblereality that the unraveling my steries ofscience and technology have so intensified man's capacity to be brutal to manthat he runs the risk of destroyinghimself and his planet. This conferencein Madrid is another in a long series of

Sl ipyj , patriarch of the UkrainianCatholic Church. The keystone festivityin Philadelphia, seat of the UkrainianCatholic Metropolitan See, was a grand"akademia."

This peculiar form of cultural marathon is recogn izable among the initiatedby its duration — several uninterruptedhours - that brims over with longspeeches of assorted emotional persuasions, dramatic recitation, and choral,operatic and piano music. Such unnatural demand on the audience i straditionally colored by a public-address system that occasionally allowsfor a vague recognition of that which isbeing shouted into the din of screeching

audio feedback, boom, pop or evenabject audio failure.Thankfully, on February 28, the P.A.

system at Philadelphia's majestic Academy of Music grand concert hall didnot fail. And this should not haveescaped notice by the crowd that occupied some 60 percent of the cavernousfacility which seats 3,000.

Reason and conscience demand thatwe continue to work for agreements andtreaties among ourselves to increase thedegree of sanity governing relationsamong states. P rinciple X of the HelsinkiFinal A ct is based on the prem ise that if

there is to be any confidence in ourcapacity to begin weaving the fabric ofunderstanding among us so essential toour survival, those international treatiesmust be looked upon as sacred one s, tobe scrupulously observed. When theyare not observed, we must, as we did allof last week on Poland, and as we willcontinue to d o, express our outrage anddisappointment.

As early as 1925, with the expansionof new frontiers of knowledge, statesmen with vision understood the need todeal with the awful re alization that manthen had the capacity to unleash poisons in the air. In that year, the GenevaProtocol was signed banning the use of

chemical and bacteriological gases.Science continued to evolve andprove the maxim that the devil tooevolves. The more powerful nations,including our own, found themselves ina race to adapt new learning to wartimeuse. The growing sophist icat ion ofbacteriology and chemistry now provided additional instruments of horribledestruction.

The United States, in an effort toinject sanity into the process, unilaterally renounced its use of those weaponsin 1969. A sensible solution then emerged: let us agree mutually to renounce theuse of biological or toxic weapons. Aninternational convention toward thatend was signed in 1972 by 111 countries.

The pledge taken was not to "develop.

earlier akademias), to this distinguishedCenter C ity cultural m ecca — theUkrainian American bishops who sponsored the event, in cooperation withmany other representative organizations, treated with deserved dignity

both their own ancient cultural heritage as well as thejubilarian on his 90thbirthday.

The introductory remarks, spokenwith the familiar mixture of patrioticfervor and scholarship by Archbishop-Metropolitan Stephen Sulyk, set thetone for the remainder of the program.

His address was preceded by a choralperformance, conducted by Osyp Lu-pan, of "Prayer for the Patriarch," IvanNedilsky`s piece written a decade ago inan era when such invocations were but awisp of a dream. As presented now,however, this akademia suggested thatsome prayers , l ike miracles , mightsometime come true.

Such best intentions notwithstanding, the concert proved once more thatart must not be legislated by committee.Apparently, the mammoth communitycommittee (35 persons) and the executive committee (15 persons), outlined agrave mission: each performer was topresent select ions only of rel igiouscharacter and Ukrainian pedigree.Needless to say, considering the capabilities, interests and backgrounds of theartists, it surprised no one that theseaspirations were hardly sustained.

Most of the world greeted that stepwith enthusiasm. This was not an armslimitation; it was a disarmament agreement. We knew that the treaty did notprovide for ways to insure verifiability,but we were convinced that the treatywould be observed because the alternative was too awful to be contemplatedby the ra tional mind. This proved to be

a naive error.It is with regret, Mr. Chairman, that I

bring to the attention of this meetingthat the Geneva Convention of 1925and the 1972 Biqlogical W eapons Convention have both been seriously anddeliberately vio lated by the So vietUnion. The consequences are mostserious. The realization that even in thisarea the Soviet Union operates withoutrestraint affects our confidence in anyagreement signed by the Soviet Union.The need for absolute and unmistakableverification of any agreement to beentered into is now for us unconditional.

But the violation of Principle X of theHelsinki Final Act represented by these

transgressions, serious a s it is, is not ouronly deep concern arising from thisdisregard for international law andhuman decency. There is an intensemoral and practical concern as well.

It is unmistakable that innocentpeople in Laos, Kampuchea and Afghanistan have been victims of a deadlypoison rained down upon them byairplanes carrying, among other lethalagents, potent mycotoxins of the tri-chothecene group. Death, often withvictims choking on their own blood,occurs within an hour after exposure.This biological warfare agent has eitherbeen used by Soviet planes and Sovietpilots, or supplied by the Soviet Unionto the pilots and planes of others.

Soviet scientists have been working

In addition, little was served by anatmosphere pointedly aus tere andsubdued. R ather, the occasion demanded the heights of joyfulness. For, afterall, was this not the amazing 90thbirthday celebration of a still-very-active leader of an entire people, notonly a Church, one who to date reignswith decisiveness and impact?

Short of including some pants-splitting Hopak finale, the concert shouldhave been turned into a celebration oflife, rather than a mannerized churchlike service. If the event had been

appropriately effervescent - not somberly reflective and formalized - theseveral excellent featured artists couldhave freely brought their truly best-

on biological weapons since the 1930s.Judging by its published scientificarticles, the emphasis of their work hasbeen on how to produce the poison inmassive quantities, rather than on howto create ant idotes , or on how toprevent bacteriological attacks. Furthermore, we have sound reason to believethat during 1963-67 the Soviet Uniontested its poison gases and bacteriological toxins in combat du ring E gypt's war

with Yemen.

In April 1979, an explosio n occurredat Soviet Military Compound No. 19 inSverdlovsk in the Ural Mountains. Thatexplosion released a cloud of anthraxspores into the atmosphere. The compound was then and is today the site of aSoviet biological weapons research andproduction facility. It is reported thatmore than 1,000 people died in thatexplosion. The amount of spores released into the air was much too large tobe a research sample. It indicated thatthe Soviets were mass-producing thebacillus. We are aware of five other suchfacilities in operation today.

Refugee victims from the areas of

biological poisoning tell tales of either"yellow rain" or "blue rain" or "blackrain." The amounts of poison found onthe scene and recovered demonstratethat they were manufactured and notproduced by nature. The only knownfactories in the world that manufacturethese poisons are in the Soviet Union.Their use, in defiance and violation ofinternational agreements, merits thecondemnation of civilization.

Now let me move to the relatedquestion of chemical warfare, raised bythe Soviet delegate.

The record will show that in 1969 theUnited States ceased the production ofall chemical weapons and has todayonly one chemical weapon production

For example , the Metropol i tanOpera Company's bass-baritone An-driy Do briansk y might have shonewith selections from that great operaticrepertoire that has earned him international fame, as well as admirationamong Ukrainians.

U k r a i n i a n W e e k l yGas pains

For many weeks the Reagan administration has been hog-tied in itsefforts to cull a receptible p olicy vis-a vis the Urengo i natural gaspipeline from western Siberia to Western Europe, the largest singleEast-West project to date. The reason s may appear simple, yet they arebarbed with complexities. In reviewing his options for delaying thepipeline, President R onald Reagan mu st address the larger question of

reviewing the entire structure of Western economic relations with theSoviet bloc. Moreover, he must take into account the touchy issue ofburgeon ing W est European pique at what is perceived as Amer icanmeddling in its economic affairs. How did Mr. Reagan get into thispickle?

The declaration of martial law in Poland provided the impetus forreviewing the pipeline deal. On December 29 the president announcedeconomic sanctions against the Soviets for their "heavy and directresponsibility for the repression in P olan d." As a result, the sale ofGeneral Electric turbine parts and Caterpillar pipelayers alreadyearmarked was banned immediately. Now some advisors want Mr.Reagan to take further steps, such as trying to prevent Americanl i c e n s e e s i n E u r o p e f r o m d e l i v e r i n g t u r b i n e s a n d o t h e r k e ycomponents needed for the 3,500-mile pipeline.

The hard-liners, led by Secretary of Defense Caspar W einberger andProf. Richard Pipes of the National Security Council, argue rather

convincingly that the Soviet economy, sputtering ever downward forthe past several years, is currently under increased pressure due toPoland's economic col lapse and the s luggishness of other EastEuropean economies .

In 1980, a full two-thirds of the Soviet Union's total hard-currencyearnings - some S17 billion — came from natural gas and oil exp orts.Hence, if the Europeans could be dissuaded from continuing thepipeline, the resulting loss of hard revenue could cripple the Sovieteconomy to the point where the Kremlin would be forced to divertresources away from defense. This would considerably reduce militarypressures on NATO.

Further evidence that the Soviets are economically strapped is therecent disclosure that they sold mo re of their gold reserves last Januarythan in any other recorded month.

Clearly, the anti-pipeline scenario does n ot take into view the strainon West European economies that the rupture of Western economic

relations with Eastern Europ e would hav e, relations which have gro wnincreasingly and alarmingly intertwined. Equally as clear is that theEuropeans have gotten themselves in this fix by putting purelyeconomic considerat ions before such dimensions as security andsound relations with the United States. West Germany alone, forexample, will increase its gas imports to meet nearly one-third of itsneeds if and w hen the pipeline is turned on . In effect, the pipeline willmake the West Europeans dependent on the Soviets and, therefore,more vulnerable.

What further irks American policymakers are the policies of WestEuropean banks. European banks are comm itt ing themselves to vastnew loans to the Soviet Union at a time when the Kremlin is doingnothing to ease the pain in the West caused by Poland's non -paymentof debts. In addition, the Soviets would repay the principal of theseloans not with cash but with gas still locked in the Siberian tundra.French banks, for one, agreed to lend the USSR an extra S140 million

downpayment on pipeline equipment. All this with Poland still in thegrip of martial law!

From where we sit, Mr. Reagan cannot go on shilly-shallying on thepipeline issue. Despite the apparent inconsistency of an Americanpolicy that allows big grain sales to the So viets but w ags a finger atEuropean industrial sales, Mr. Reagan should come out stronglyagainst the pipeline and use America's economic muscle to try andreign in the unruly Europeans. Impatience with the irresponsiblewheeling-and-dealing of the West Europeans is already growing inmany government circles. Sen. Ted Stevens of Alaska, for example,has threatened to introduce a resolution to withdraw American troopsfrom Europe because of Western Europe's cooperation with theSoviets on the pipeline, and because of its casual attitude towarddefense.

Truly, it is high time to put the eco nom ic screws to the Sov iets, andfirm opposition to the pipeline is one small step toward the economicisolation of the U SS R. The U nited S tates must also mak e it clear to itsallies that they must tighten up credits and guarantees to the Sovietsand restrict exports of energy-related materials, or risk suffering theserious con sequen ce o f A merican ire. It's a prickly issue, but WesternEurope mus t be diplomat ical ly and gingerly persuaded to s topsnapp ing at the he els of its chief ally and protecto r.

Two opportunit ies to exploit the Soviet Union's economic anemiahave alreay been missed — declaring Poland in default and, yes,conti-nuing the grain embargo. These decisions are reversible, thoughmay be n ot at the present time. Thr owing a wrench into the gas pipelinework s must be don e, the sooner the better.

W h y d i d t he f a m in e ha p p e n ?by Dr. Junes E. Mace

The great Uk rainian famine of 1933 isbest understood as an integral part ofStalin's solution to the Ukrainian"problem," and its roots go back to 1917.Any attempt to explain it outside thecontext of the Ukrainian experience

from 1917 to 1933 or to view it merely asa particularly harsh application ofgeneral policy toward the Soviet peasantry is doomed to failure.

This is so because Stalin himselfidentified the problem of nationalitywith that of the peasantry, because ofthe nature of the Soviet Ukrainianregime up to. 1933, and because thepolicies pursued toward the Ukrainianpeasantry during the first i v e - y e a r planwent hand in hand with a number ofother policies designed to destroy theUkrainian nation as a political, socialand cultural organism.

Bolshevik policies in Ukraine duringthe period of "war comm unism" were inmany ways a dress rehearsal for those o fthe fi-e-year plan.

When the Bolsheviks first occupiedUkraine, they treated any manifestationof Ukrainian national aspirations withunmittigated hostility, as one Bolshevikspokesman at the time put it, "a smokescreen for the counterrevolut ion."When Muravyov occupied Kiev, anyone heard speaking Ukrainian in thestreet was arrested and shot as a suspected counterrevolutionary. Rakov-sky, while head of the Soviet Ukrainiangovernment, called Ukrainian a kulaklanguage.

Second ly, the B olsheviks initially saw

Ukraine primarily as a source of grain.One telegram from Lenin to Ordzhoni-kidze at the end of 1917 make s the pointquite clearly: Lenin ordered h is "extraordinary comm issar" in Ukraine to send"bread, bread, bread," several train-loads every day, and accounts of thefirst Bolshevik occupation of Ukraineliken Lenin's followers to a hoard oflocusts that seized everything itcould for immediate shipment to Russia.

Third, the Bolsheviks did everythingin their power to p revent the parcellingof the landlords' estates to peasantfarmers and even tried to force peasants into communes, at least until thespring of 1919 when the order went outto stop this practice.

The Ukrainian countryside responded by taking up arms, and even thedefeat of the Ukrainian National Republic failed to halt widespread guerillawarfare. Soviet sources refer to this as"kulak banditry," and the official SovietUkrainian newspapers continued to

report outbreaks of it well into 1924.(Continued on page 11)

Reflections o n overcoming adversityby Dr. Myron B. Kuropas

One of the problems I have alwayshad with some of my fellow Conservatives has been their tendency to romanticize our nation's past. One case inpoint is Patrick Buchanan.

"We owe a debt to divine providence," wrote Mr. Buchanan recently,"that when our ancestors reached theseshores, they faced adversity and obstacles , the conquest of which produced strong men and women - not theenervating, cloying, poisonous embraceof a mammoth welfare state."

My quarrel with this thesis is that it isbased on a somewhat selective interpretation of American history — a romantic fantasy, if you will - of the salubrious consequence s of adversity. Whileit is true that some Americans prosperedby overcoming adversity, many otherssuffered and died from it.

Of the 120 settlers who arrived inJamestown in 1607, only 53 survived thefirst winter. At Plymou th, less than halfof the 102 Pilgrims who disembarkedfrom the M ayflower in 1620 were alive ayear later.

While some Americans succumbed,others overcame adversity in the newworld at great cost to others.

For almost two centuries nativeAmericans were systematically, oftenbrutally, pushed off their ancestrallands despite numerous treaties recognizing their right of ownership. In 1830,Congress even passed a Removal Act -subsequently sanctioned by the Supreme Court — which empowered thepresident to deport Indians. Eight yearslater, some 4,000 Ch erokees perished astheir nation was forcibly pushed acrossthe Mississippi River in mid-winter.American Indians never have con

quered the adversity that was foistedupon them.

For other Americans, overcomingobstacles involved the exploitation ofdocile, low-cost workers.

When England's pool of indenturedtoilers began to dry up, over half amillion black Africans were involuntarily imported to the colonies to fill thegap. Southern colonies prospered andby 1860, the United States had no fewerthan 2.34 million slave laborers workingat tasks that few white people werewilling to undertake. Black Americansare still overcoming that adversity andthe racist policies that existed for acentury after emancipation.

When cheap and abundant labor wasneeded after the'Civil War, Americaopened its doors wide to Europe's"wretched refuse." By 1910, an estimated 9.3 million East and SouthEuropeans arrived to work in Am erica `s

mines and factories where wages werelow, working conditions were abominable, and death and disease werecommon . Even children, some as youngas 9 and 10, were put to work to helptheir families overcome their adversities.

When strikes erupted during the late1880s and early 1900s, they were suppressed . When the econom y lagged, as it

did in the 1880s and again in 1893,(Continued on page 14)

Towards a united U kra in ian fron t in A m er icaT he story of our congresses, 1 9 02-8 2

by Dr. Myron B. Kuropas

Remarks delivered by Dr. Myron B. Kuropas,supreme vice president of the Ukrainian NationalAssociation, during a community meeting sponsoredby the Co mmittee for Law and Order in the VCCA on

January 31 in New York City.

Ethnic organizational life in America tends tofollow a sequential pattern consisting of three distincthistorical p hases.

The first phase involves the establishment of localsocieties for the purpose of meeting immediatecommunal needs.

The second phase begins when the need for poolingand expanding local resources is identified. A nationalorganization of local societies is then established forthe purpose of meeting local needs more efficientlyand for broadening the resource base with thepromotion of additional local chapters.

As the ethnic community continues to grow, itbecomes more diversified .leading to a proliferation oflocal and national organizations. This often creates

problems of coordination, and it is at this juncture inthe history of the community that the third phase ofcommunal life is reached. A congress of local andnational organizations is called, and a federationcomes into being for the purpose of enhancing andcoordinating the achievement of goals shared by thetotal community. In some instances, the calling of sucha congress is precipitated by a single momentous eventor by the identification of a perceived threat to thewell-being of the entire ethnic group.

Ukrainian organizational life in America hasgenerally followed the historical sequence charted byother American ethnic communities. The first Rusyncommunity was organized in Shenandoah, Pa., in1884 for the purpose of establishing a parish andbuilding a church. With the arrival of the Rev. IvanVoliansky, more local organizations — a burialsociety, a choir, a heritage school, a co-op — were

established.Encouraged by Father Voliansky, other Rusyn

communities in the area — Freeland, Shamokin,Hazleton, Olyphant — as well as elsewhere in theUnited States — Jersey City, N.J., Minneapolis—soonfollowed Shenandoah`s lead. By 1889, the year ofFather Voliansky's departure, the Rusyn communitywas beginning to take on national characteristics.

In 1894, a number of local burial societies cametogether and gave birth to the Ruskyi NarodnyiSoyuz, the first national organization in America'sRusyn-Ukrainian community. With the establishmentof a national body, new local chapters were organizedand community life expanded. In many Rusyn-Ukrainian communities the creation of a local Soyuzbranch often precipitated the establishment of a parish

committee with the Soyuz subsequently playing amajor role in the process of organizing the parish andbuilding the local church.

Once Rusyn-Ukrainian priests began to arrive totake up pastoral duties in communities where parishcommittees had already been created, an informalnetwork of church leaders was formed for the purposeof promoting parish organization throughout America.In 1901, under the leadership of the American Circle- a group of dynamic Catholic priests dedicated tothe Ukrainianization of the Rusyn community - anational organization, the Association of RuthenianChurch Communities in the United States, wasestablished to coordinate the work of the church.

The first significant attempt to create a federation ofRusyn-Ukrainian organizations occurred in 1902 inHarrisburg Pa. Concerned with what they believed

was a concerted effort by R oman C atholic prelates toLatinize and amalgamate their Church and angered byRome's reticence to intervene - which was viewed as arepudiation of certain ecclesiastic rights guaranteed bythe Union of 1596 — the newly formed associationcalled a convention to discuss the future of the Rusyn-Ukrainian Church in America. During the course ofthe assembly a number of community issues wasraised in addition to matters related to the Church.The convention ended with a resolution to hold acongress the following.year, and to move ahead withthe , formation of an umbrella organization which

Father Mykola Stefanovych

could serve as a coordinating center for the entireRusyn-Ukrainian community.

The Ruthenian National Committee

On December 26, 1903, a national congress ofRusyn-Ukrainians was held in Yonkers, N.Y ., and the

first Ukrainian federation in the United States — theRuthenian National Committee — was established.Headed by Father Mykola Stefanovych, a RadicalSocialist, the new umbrella organization includedmost societies then active in the increasingly m ilitantand ethno-nationally conscious Rusyn-Ukrainiancamp.

A national fund was established of which 25 percentwas earmarked for combating Russian Orthodoxpropaganda, 25 percent for the support of Rusyn-Ukrainian schools in America, 25 percent for themaintenance of a national home, 15 percent forassistance to organizations in U kraine, and 10 percentfor miscellaneous needs in the United States.

Subsequent conventions of the committee were heldin Olyphant in 1904 and in McKees Port in 1905. Itwas at the latter convention that Father MykolaStrutynsky, a National Democrat, was elected

president. A t the same tim e, a decision was reached toadopt the nam,e Society of Rusyn Patriots to identifyall local branches of the committee.

Father Mykola Strutynsky

Unfortunately, the committee passed out ofexistence within a few years, largely as a result ofdisagreements between the Radical Socialists and theNational Democrats within its ranks.

The Ruthenian National Council

The next meaningful attempt to organize anumbrella organization began in 1914, soon after theeruption of hostilities in Europe. In the forefront of thecall for "a representative body of all Ukrainians" wasthe Ruskyi Narodnyi Soyuz, which formally changedits name to the Ukrainian National Association thefollowing year. "Let's be ready," declared Sv oboda onSeptember 1, "the war will end, there will be a peaceconference, and Ukraine will have its chance."

That same year, Dr. Semen Demydchuk, a frequentUkrainian visitor to America, arrived in the UnitedStates as the official envoy of the newly establishedUkrainian General Council in Lviv. On October 8,representatives from the four fraternal benefitorganizations then in existence — the UNA, theUkrainian Workingmen's Asso ciation, the ProvidenceAssociation and the Haidamaky - met with Dr.Demydchuk to discuss the possibility of creating onepowerful organization which could work on behalf ofUkrainian national aspirations abroad. After muchdebate, it was decided that an organizational comm ittee, headed by Dr. Volodymyr Simenovych ofChicago, should be created for the purpose ofconvening a "Ukrainian diet" in America.

The first break in what appeared to be a unitedUkrainian front occurred within a few weeks after themeeting. Asserting his authority as a leader in both theUhro-Rusyn and Ukrainian ethno-national camps,Bishop Soter Ortynsky suddenly announced theconvocation of a congress of Ukrainians and Uhro-Rusyns. Before anyone could effectively protest — letalone dissuade the bishop — an all-Rusyn conclave

was held in Philadelphia and, on December 8, 1914,the Ruthenian National Council was born.

In a subsequent editorial titled "What Is the BiggestFault of Our People?" (January 2, 1915), Svobodareplied: "The answer to that question is very brief. Thebiggest fault of our people is their lack of unity." It wasa lament that would be repeated many times and bymany people in the years that lay ahead.

Unfortunately, the Uhro-Rusyns never fullysupported Bishop Ortynsky's actions, and when he metan untimely death in 1916 the council died with him.

The Federation of Ukrainians in the United States

Ignoring the bishop's earlier initiative, the fratemak,now minus the Providence Association, decided topush ahead with their original plans. The fi rst d iet of

Ukrainians in America was convened in New YorVCity on October 30 and 31, 1915, with 295 delegates(holding mandates from 457 local non-sectarianorganizations) in attendance.

During the two days of deliberation, a new centralUkrainian organization , the Federation of Ukrainians in the United S tates, headed by Dr. V olodymyrSimenovych and an executive board of 21 persons,came into being and was charged with the task ofrepresenting the Ukrainian people in America andwith establishing local branches of the federationthroughout the country.

Four major resolutions were passed reflecting thepolitical posture of the Ukrainian stream at that time:

1. The Ukrainian congress and that organizationwhich it has established represents the will ofUkrainians organized in 457 non-sectarian Ukrainianorganizations in the United States.

2. Ukrainians, citizens and future citizens of theUnited States, appeal to the president to em power thefuture Am erican delegation to the peace conference toproclaim, in the name of the United States, theprinciple that every nationality is the rightful ruler ofits own country and no nationality is subject to the ruleof another.

3. Our program with reference to the Ukrainianquestion is based on the establishment of a Ukrainianrepublic formulated on the most far-reaching democratic principles and on radical agrarian reform.

4. We support the Tight for autonomy of Russianand Austrian Ukraine if, after the war, the Ukrainianlands have not been incorporated in a Ukrainianrepublic.

The federation also resolved to aid the homeland inits struggle for self-determination based upondemocratic principles, to provide financial assistanceto victims of the war, and to continue the ethno-national development of the Ukrainian Americanthrough the establ ishment of s tudy courses forilliterates, night schools for those seeking advancedtraining libraries, lecture series, as well as dramaclubs, choirs, sports clubs and youth organizations."

The federation, seemingly doomed from its inception, did not succeed in its mission to politically unitethe Ukrainian American community. Surprised byBishop Ortynsky's sudden retreat from the originalDemydchuk committee, the organizers of the federat ion were faced with a di lemma — join BishopOrtynsky's effort and negate the increasingly influential socialist camp, or ignore Bishop Ortynsky andincur the wrath of the powerful Catholics. In the end,both alternatives were attempted.

Bishop Soter Ortynsky

When cooperation with Bishop Ortynsky proveduntenable, Ukrainian lay leaders proceeded toorganize the federation and, predictably, the Ukrainian Ca tholic press began its criticism, beginning withthe fact that the congress had not opened w ith a prayerand had not sent a greeting to the pope.

A more serious problem, however, was faced by thefederation within its ow n ranks. As the war progressed

in Europe, the overridine issue becmftffw л ім ж г іо п ofcontinued support of the Austrian war effort. A s therepresentative of the General Council in Lviv - whichhad called upon the Ukrainian people to supportAustria in her fight with Ru ssia - Dr. Demydchuk,who represented the right-wing views within thefederation, argued for continued moral support ofAustria, a po sition which, if over-emphasized, couldalienate the growing anti-Hapsburg sentiments ofAmerica's leaders. The left wing within the federationfavored an anti-Austrian stance which, if promulgated, could conceivably help the Russian war effort.In time, the dilemma split the federation into twocamps - pro-Austrian and anti-Austrian - with

executives within the same Ukrainian member-organization taking different sides on the issue.

The conflict was never really resolved within thefederation. Anticipating rapproachement with theUkrainian Catholic C hurch after the death of BishopO rtynsky, the right wing, led by the U N A , withdrew toform another all-Ukrainian organization, the Ukrainian Alliance of America.

Fol lowing the UNA-led exodus in 1916, thefederation received the bulk of its community supportfrom the UNA and the Ukrainian Federation ofUkrainian Socialist Parties of America (U F SP A ), anorganization created in 1915. The ideological leadership of the federation, however, was provided byMyroslav Sichynsky, the assassin of Polish CountPotocki in 1908. Sentenced to life imprisonment, Mr.Sichynsky eventually escaped to Sweden - with the

help of bribe monies supplied by the UkrainianAmerican community — and, on October 21, 1914,arrived to a hero's welcome in the Ukrainian American community.

A second exod us within the federation occurred in1917 when the UFSPA, now firmly controlled by theBolsheviks, came out in opposition to the UkrainianCentral Rada in Kiev and left the federation.

Despite the loss of most of its original membershipand strong opposition from the alliance and Svoboda,the federation managed to su/vive its right- and left-wing crises and to continue its efforts on behalf of theUkrainian cause. Its most significant contributionduring its existence was the role it played in thecampaign to have President Woodrow Wilson proclaim anationwide Ukrainian Day in America. Both thefederation and the alliance supported the idea andboth claimed credit for its genesis and realization.

As for the role of the federation, this much seemscertain: 1. On January 4, 1917, a federation delegation consisting of Dr. Simenovych, Osyp Zaplatynsky,the UWA president, Dr. Cyril Bilyk, and MariaStrutynsky, met with President Wilson to speak onbehalf of the proclamation. 2. Organizations associated with the federation collected 532,217.37 for theUkrainian cause as a result of the Ukrainian Day fund-raising activities.

Another federation project was its involvement inthe formation of the Central European Union, anethnic coalition organized by Thomas Masaryk todramatize the plight of the "oppressed nationalities of

Central Europe." In keeping with its anti-Austrianposture, the federation signed the union's D eclarationof Common Aims on October 25,191 8, along with theUhro-Rusyns and 10 other nationa lities present at thePhiladelphia gathering which gave birth to the union.The union clearly favored the dissolution of theAustro-Hungarian empire.

Endeavoring to regain some of its lost momentum inthe community, the federation decided to convene asecond diet of Ukrainian Am ericans in Washingtonon December 16 ,1918 . A national fund v/asestablishedand a new "call" was proclaimed to the UkrainianAmerican community to "unite under a commonbanner in a cause that will benefit the Ukrainianpeople." Com menting on the "constant and infamousattacks from both sides," the declaration urged itssupporters to "recruit new mem bers and organ ize newbranches."

A Washington off ice was establ ished by thefederation in 1919, under the direction of NicholasRepen, a former member of the Radical Party inGalicia and one-time contributor to UkrayinskaHazeta, the short-lived federation newspaper.

A fin al attempt to regain its prestige within theUkrainian American community was made by thefederation late in 1919 soon after the arrival inWashington of a diplomatic mission from the Petliuragovernment.

Bel ieving that Jul ian Bachynsky, the miss iondirector and a socialist, would recognize them as thesole representat ives of the Ukrainian Americancommunity, the federation leadership went out of itsway to curry his favor. Mr. Bachynsky, however, hadspent time in America as a participant-observer priorto the war an d, upon his return to Uk raine, hadauthored "The Ukrainian Immigration in the UnitedStates of America," a monumental research studypublished in Lviv in 1914. He was thoroughly familiarwith the politics of the Ukrainian American community and had no intention of becoming embroiled in itsconflicts.

On September 27 and 28, he met with representatives of the federation, the alliance, the UNA, theUW A, the Providence A ssociation and the UkrainianNational Aid Association (a fraternal organizationfounded in 1915), and lobbied on behalf of a unitedfront in winning recognition for the UkrainianNational Republic.

Neither side, however, was willing to work with theother and Mr. Bachynsky was forced to choose thealliance, by then the more influential of the twoUkrainian umbrella organizations. Disillusioned bywhat they considered to be a betrayal of a commonsocialist cause, federation leaders began to attack Mr.Bachynsky and his mission, an action which onlyserved to alienate more members of the UkrainianAmerican community. By the summer of 1920, thefederation, having lost its last bid for communitypower, was no longer an influential force in theUkrainian political arena.

facility, which is no longer usable orused.

The record will also show that todaythe Soviet Union operates at least14 chemical weapon productionfacilities. Its armies are better equipped ,better organized and better trained inchemical warfare than any others in theworld. Each Soviet combat unit, downto the regimental level, has a sizablechemical warfare contingent. Chemicalwarfare specialists are assigned at thecompany level. It is estimated that thereare close to 100,000 personnel withchemical warfare training, a trainingwhich uses actual chemical agents.Soviet artillery units are regularlyequipped with various kinds of chemicalwarfare shells and other weapons. TheSoviet Union has without doubt invested heavily in all aspects of chemicalwarfare.

My government, therefore, founditself in a position of having unilaterallyrenounced production of all chemicalweapons in 1969,while the Soviet Unionrecklessly p roceeded in an effort to gainworld supremacy in this area of warfare.To meet this dilemma constructively,

we initiated in the 1970s an attempt toreach an agreement with the Soviet

Union on a comprehensive and verifiablejoint ban on all chemical weapons.I have been informed by experts that

the question of verification is a complexand difficult one. We concluded thaton-site inspection was a prerequisite foragreement. We found that the SovietUnion rejected all suggestions for on-site inspection. It appeared to us thatthe Soviets had no incentive to enterinto an agreement wi th us . Theypossessed a decisive advantage in thisfield because of our inactivity and sawno reason to give it up. Nevertheless,they continue to talk, without decision;and we saw that their purpose in goingthrough the form of the negotiation wasto impede the ability of the UnitedStates to protect its own interests bybuilding an adequate deterrent capability. We concluded that it was essentialto demonstrate to the S oviet Union thatwe would now deny them any significant military advantage from usingchemical weapons. We would improveour defenses against their use andthereby prayerfully reduce casualties;but it was also necessary for us tomaintain a capability to retaliate so asto reduce any incentive that the Soviets

might have for the first use of theseawful weapons.

It is thus the reluctant policy of theUnited States to build and maintain achemical munitions stockpile to deny asignificant military advantage to anywho would seek to initiate their use. Weare making only those improvementsnecessary to provide us with a credibleand effective deterrent.

It is our fervent hope that this program will provide an incentive to theSoviet Union to join us in seeking acomplete and verifiable ban on theproduction, development and stockpiling of all such weapons.

Our object ive is not to producechemical weapons. We have demonstrated the genuineness of that objectiveby our unilateral action of 1969. Ourobjective is to achieve a complete andverifiable prohibition of chemical warfare. Our unilateral restraint has notworked and has instead only resulted ina significant imbalance between ourcapability and that of the Soviets. It isnecessary for us to try another approach.We are doing so.

The official position of our government was stated in the following announcement from the White House:

"The administration's ultimate goal

in the area of chemical warfare (C W isa complete and verifiable ban on the

production and stockpiling of chemicalweapons. Unti l such a ban can beobtained, our objective, consistent withexisting treaties and international law,is to deter the use of chemical weapons.The U .S. will not use chemical weaponsunless chemical weapons are first usedagainst us or our allies. The U.S. doesnot and will not possess biological ortoxic weapons."

We have had enough self-serving andmisleading allegations and assertions bythe Soviet Union here and elsewhere.The search for peace wil l not beachieved by propagand a. The search forpeace wil l be achieved by act ionsconsistent with peace. That is what ourdelegation has been asking for at thismeeting. When we see action whichmerits a constructive response from us,I want to assure this body that ourresponse will be immed iately and generously and enthusiastically forthcoming.Until then we will expose the propaganda for w hat it is, just as we willcontinue to use this forum to expose theviolations of the Helsinki Final Act,including the violence against thepeople of Poland, for what they are.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Regardless of the weather, the opening of the Easter exhibit at The Ukrainian Museum is a sure portent thatspring is just around that proverbialcorner, along with balmy temperaturesand greening leaves.

This year's display opened hu t S aturday, as noted in The New York TimesWeekender Guide on March 5. Underthe headline "2nd Ave. UkrainianEggs," The Times reported that "morethan 200 brilliantly colored Easter eggs,decorated with stylized animals, flowers,crosses and intricate geometric patterns" would be on view at the museum,203 S econd A ve., near 13th Street, fromMarch 6 through May 16.

Scores of visitors crowded the museum on Saturday to examine andexclaim over the complex designs andvivid colorations of the eggs. Morevisitors came on Sunday afternoon toview the pysanky and to watch Easter-egg experts as they used styluses,

beeswax and dyes to transform whiteeggs into talismans ensuring wealth,happiness and health.

The demonstrators were Malta Lo-patynsky, Sophia И е і у к and NatalieDuma, the coordinator of this year'sdemonstration program.

Beginning th i s weekend, adul t s 'and children's workshops will be heldeach Saturday and Sunday throughApril 4, with a choice of morning andafternoon sessions.

The myth and the magic of Ukrainianpysanky will be explored during demonstration sessions and at the start ofeach workshop with showings of SlavkoNowytaWs film "Pysanka: The Ukrainian Easter Egg."

The Easter eggs will be on viewthrough May 16, Wednesday to Sunday, 1 to 5 p.m., with one more demonstration session scheduled for April 10.

Strike up the bandura

The New York School of Bandura isawhirl with a number of new developments, reports administrative directorNick Czorny. The school's students willbe taking part in Ukrainian Day inVineland, N.J., on May 8, cutting a firstrecord in m id-May, going on a picnic onJune 5, and participating in graduationexercises June 17.

Biggest news at the moment is the

establishment of a new concert ensemble affiliated with the school. Consisting of some IS to 18 of the school'soutstanding bandura players, the ensemble is presently rehearsing a minimum of three hours each Saturdayunder the leadership of Julian Kytasty,the school's young director. Next weekend - from March 19 to 22 - thegroup will meet with maestro HryhoryKytasty of Cleveland for intensiverehearsals in preparation for a concerttour that will include Rochester, N.Y.,(May 1), Buffalo, N.Y ., (May 2) andWashington (sometime in May).

By special invitation, friends of thebandura school will attend a general

rehearsal of the new ensemble on March21 at 4 p.m. The rehearsal will be held inthe auditorium of the U krainian L iberation Front Home, 136 Second Ave.

Still up in the air is the choice of aname for the ensemble. The majority ofbandura players seem to favor "ZhyviStruny" (l iterally translated: LiveStrings), but Mr. Czorny says the groupis open to ideas.

Ukrainian personalities on the GreatWhite Way. George de la Pens, a soloistwith the American Ballet Theatre, isnow with the cast of "Woman of theYear," the m usical comedy hit starringLauren Bacall and Harry Guardlno.The musical is playing at the PalaceTheatre, 1564 Broadway (757-2625).

Mr. de la Pena, wh o joined A mericanBallet Theatre in December 1974 andwas made a soloist in the winter of 1977,plays the role of a Russian ballet dancerwho defects. His ballet experience andhis Slavic background (his mother isUkrainian) undoubtedly serve him wellin this portrayal.

A native of New York City, thedancer attended the School of American B allet and graduated from the HighSchool of Performing Arts. He performed with the St. Paul Civic Operaand the Andre Eglevsky Ballet Company before joining A BT.

In 1979, Mr. de la Pena took a leave

of absence from the ABT company tostar in the title role of Herbert Ross'sfilm "Nijinsky." The film, released byParamount Pictures in New York inMarch 1980 , was not a box-o fficesuccess although critics generally considered that Mr. de la Pena did "remarkably well" in m anaging N ijinsky'semotional extremes.

During the ABT spring session at theMetropolitan Opera House in 1981,Mr. de la Pena was praised by dancecritics for his solo performances in"Giselle," "Prodigal S on" and "TheMoor's Pavane."

' Re Jack Palaoce and the play "NowYou See It." Publicist Richard Dahltold me several days ago that rehearsalsfor the play have not begun, but not toworry. I'm guessing that Mr. Palance is:

a) rehearsing the play in the Big Applewithout fanfare, so he will not bedisturbed by over-enthusiastic reportersand fans, or b) he is still "flirting withBroadway," as he told N ew York Tunesreporter Carol Lawson back in Januarywhen be recalled "a whole list of plays Ialmost did."

о My listing of Ukrainian stars onBroadway (Panorama, February 21)overlooked at least two importantpersonalities. William Shust, who willbe appearing in person at the U krainianInstitute of America on March 20,performed in Broadway productions of"The C ountry G irl," "The Owl and thePussycat" and "Arturo Ui." Laryssa(Kukrycka) Laurel appeared in Tennessee Williams's "The Night of theIguana," "P aris is Out" and "Julia, Jakeand Uncle Joe."

" In his review of Neil Simon'smusical revue "Little Me," now playingat the Eugene O'Neill Theatre, New

York Times critic Walter Kerr wrotethat the musical "has a kind of mistressof ceremonies, or tour guide, whopretends that Ukrainian dancers andCitizen Kane and World War I are allrelated to one another." According topress representative Bill Evans, there isa dance number in "Little Me" performed by dancers in kerchiefs and wideskirts on the bed of the dying PrinceCherny of the bankrupt duchy ofR ozenzweig. B ut, he says, they "could beanyone — they're not meant to beUkrainian."

which presented Jack Gilford and "thepeople of Heaven and Chelm" (get thatpun!) in three short plays during a briefrun at the Rialto Theatre, started with"A Tale of Chelm" — a short play"about foolish people living in a foolishvillage in Russia." Chelm is the Polishname for Kholm, a city in the northwestern Ukrainian province of Volynfounded by Ukrainian King Daniel inthe 13th century. Interestingly, thebackdrop for "A Tale of C helm" showeda picturesque three-tiered wood churchlike those native to the Carpathianregions of Ukraine. Background musicfor the show, played by an accordionist,violinist and mandolin-player, featureda recurring melody that brought tomind the nostalgic highland folk song"Verkhovyno." Despite the great characterizations done by Mr. Gilford and thegentle charm of the three plays, "TheWorld of Sholom Aleichem" proved tobe "rather slender entertainment" (as

described by Stewart Klein of WNEW-TV C hannel 5) and the show, closed onFebruary 28.

" Carol Lawson of The New YorkTimes reported in one of her "Broadway" columns that a drama about theJews of K iev will open on Broadway onMay 6. The work of a little-knownJewish playwright, Aleksandr Borsh-chagovsky, "Before the Dawn" is said torecreate "the anguish of the Jews ofKiev on the eve of their massacre by theNazis at the ravine of Babi Yar."According to Miss Lawson, the playwas staged by a small Jewish theatergroup in Moscow in October 1980.Although it ran for only six performances, it was "a rebuke of the Soviet

regime for its unwillingness to admitthat the Jews suffered worse than anyother ethnic group under the Nazioccupation." It will be interesting to seehow Ukrainians fare in this production.

W h y did...( Con t inued f r om pa p 6 )

Fail ing to defeat the Ukrainiancountryside by force of arms, theBolsheviks hoped concessions wouldwork. As early as 1919, the Bolsheviksrecognized Shevchenko Day and beganto tolerate the use of the Ukrainianlanguage. In 1921 the New EconomicPolicy was proclaimed; the peasantrywas freed from forced requisitions and

was left in peace for the time being. In1923 Ukrainization was proclaimed,and the regime tried to appear more andmore as a Ukrainian force. Ukrainianswere'recruited into the CommunistParty of Ukraine. Non-Ukrainians inthe party and state apparatus wereordered to learn the Ukrainian languageand familiarize themselves with theUkrainian way of life. Ukrainian cultural life was not only tolerated butencouraged. A national cultural revivalof unprecedented vigor, the "rozstri-liane vidrodzhennia," blossomed.

Ukrainian aspirations were legitimized even within the party, and theCommunists Oleksander Shumsky,Mykola Khvyliovy, and MykhailoVolobuyev asserted Ukrainian aspirations to a degree which M oscow foundintolerable. Mykola Skrypnyk wasultimately able to build up a strongpolitical base by condemning all expression of hostility toward Moscowand simultaneously asserting Ukrainianprerogatives in virtually every sphere.All this is well-known,' but the essentialpoint is that Stalin was confronted witha strong Ukrainian political entitywithin the Soviet Union, a state andsociety which was growing steadilymore assertive of its national rights.

The fact the Stalin was determined todestroy Soviet Ukraine as a political

factor is demonstrated by the way theso-called "cultural revolution" of 1928-32 was carried out. In Russia, the so-called "bourgeois intelligentsia" wasalways the m ain target, but in Ukraine itwas the Communist Ukrainian intelligents ia w hich was f irst attack ed.Among historians, for example, theCommunis t Matvyi Yavorsky wasattacked and condemned for treatingthe history of Ukraine as a distinctiveprocess before Mykhailo Hrushevskywas silenced. Amo ng Ukrainian writers,the m ost militantly "proletarian" andavant-guard were attacked for notfollowing the lead of Russian "proletarian writers."

The 1930 show-trial of the Union forthe Liberation of Ukraine was at leastpartially a provocation against Skrypnyk, since one of the charges was thatlinguists had engaged in "sabotage" byasserting the distinctiveness of theUkrainian language, and Skrypnyk hadbeen personally involved in this "sabotage" (although no one said so until1933). It is also no coincidence thatSkrypnyk's final disgrace and suicidecoincide with the famine; Postyshev had

been sent to Ukraine to speed up graindeliveries and destroy Skrypnyk. Thetwo tasks were inseparable.

Stalin wrote in 1925: "The nationality question is by its basis a peasantquest ion." He understood that thesuppression of the Ukrainian nationcould not be accomplished unless itssocial basis, the Ukrainian peasantry,was also suppressed. It had been theregime's inability to suppress the country people which led to the adoption of

the New Economic Policy and Ukrainization, and the abandonment of onenecessarily implied the abandonment ofthe other. This, however, raises anessential question: Why was it possiblefor the regime to suppress the Ukrainiancountryside during the five-year planwhen it had been unable to.do so duringthe period of war communism?

The answer lies in the gradual penetration of the countryside b y the regimeduring the period of the New EconomicPolicy. In 1921 the Bolsheviks confronted the countryside as outsiderswith only the Comm ittees for N on-RichPeasants ("komnezamy" - "Kom itetyNezamozhnykh Selian"), unreliablegangs which took grain for the state for a

share in the booty. In contrast toR ussia, w here the "Jcombedy" wereabol ished, the "komnezamy" wereretained in U kraine and were graduallymade into more or less reliable executive institutions.

In addition, village Soviets ("silrady")were gradually organized and made intoreliable administrative organs of theregime. Perhaps most importantly, thevillages were penetrated by a network ofsecret collaborators with the GPU("seksoty"). This meant that, in contrast to 1921, the regime was able to relyon people in the villages who would helpoutsiders carry out their orders, and theregime was also able to identify theelements in the village most hostile tothe Communists and most capable ofleading villagers in defense of theirfarms.

It is beyond the scope of this briefnote to consider the particulars ofBolshevik policies in the Ukrainiancountryside. Suffice it to say that theliguidation of the kulaks, the suppression of the Ukrainian Church and itspriesthood, and often the arrest of thevillage schoolteachers, went hand inhand with the suppression of the Ukrainian intellectual and political figures inthe cities as a means of decapitating thenation, that collectivization was carriedout more rapidly and that the demandsfor Ukrainian grain as a proportion of

the total Soviet harvest were higherthan in Russia. The re-Russification ofthe cities in the 1930s was designed topush U krainian na tionhood back to theland where Ukrainian "kolhospnyky"were legally attached to the soil bymeans of the internal passport system.

All this meant war against the Ukrainian peasantry, a war in which food wasthe major weapon and mass starvationthe sign of Stalin's victory.

every last crevice in the plush wood-and-cloth appointment of the old hall.

Welcome also was the appearance ofthe 50-strong Prometheus Male Choir,directed by Michael Dlaboha, whichenhanced the program with a flair andblend reminiscent of their e lectr icperformances of Ukrainian folk andprogrammatic songs. The choir's recent

effort to expand into the realm ofclassical concert repertory is ambitious.But this part icular concert s implybegged for the vintage Prometheussound. For the same reason, the chorus's finale for the akademia, Stetsenko^sprogrammatic chorale, "On a BlessedSunday Mo rn" — featuring the topsoloist, baritone Dior Kushnir, and theexperienced pianist, Irene Pelech - wasa much-needed touch to the two-hour-plus affair.

Ironically, the intended artistic integrity of the program was shaken bysome inexcusable tampering within thefo rb id den a re as of se r ious mu s ic -m a k i n g . A p p e a r i n g a s t h e s e c o n d

chorus (with two "Psalm s" by j)or t-niansky) was the Archeparchal Metropolitan Joint Mixed Chorus which, allelse notwithstanding, is a worthy testimonial to i ts inspired, enthusiast icpatron-founder, then-apostolic administrator and current Stamford BishopBasil H. Losten, who, incidentally,provided some lively concluding remarks at this event.

The Me tropolitan C horus is composed of some 100 of the finest singersgleaned from several parish choirs .Now, were they only provided with

wmmmmmmmm

professional direction by a talented andknowledgeable conductor, then thisgroup might in the future become acrown jewel in the archexarchate 'sflourishing cultural legacy. Unfortunately, a Newark, N.J., cantor, albeit ofmany years' service, Michael Dobosh,simply is mismatched as the chorus'sdirector.

But what was still more emb arrassingand outrageous on Sunday, however,was the travesty that was allowed to be

perpetrated upon the sacrosanct domain of Ukraine 's greatest churchcomposer, Dmytro Stepanovych Bort-niansky (1751-1825). By splicing ontothe two selections by this composersome kind of a t r inket of a pianoaccompaniment, Mr. Dobosh changedthe beautiful music beyond repair.

What serious musician would dreamo f p a t c h i n g in a n " o o m - p a h - p a h "i n t r o d u c t i o n a n d " a c c o m p a n i m e n t "(octaved counter-bass line and mismatched chords, no less) to help Bort-niansky along? The original musicdemands performance a cappella. Thatis, a cappella, with both Haydenesquea r t i c u l a t i o n a n d B e e t h o v e n e s q u e

dramaturgy! Why, even the popularorchestral cond uctor Leopold Stokow-sky was publicly roundly condemnedfor juicing up Bach and others when headded several extra instruments, especially string basses in order to generate a"bigger," thicker sound effect. So,certainly a lesser license for musicalrevisionism obliges upon the UkrainianMetropolitan Chorus — and everyoneelse, for that matter.

No amount of ridiculous punting, soto speak, would ever help the haplessMonday-morning quarterback in с а р –

turing the eluded winning point. Thefact is, too, tha t B ortniansky, like Bachand others of his calibre, is definitely inthe big musical league; meaning, onerightfully accessible only to scrupulousand qualified direction, if even of thebest performers.

The concert's chief speaker, like alatter-day Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, wasChicago's Bishop Innocent LotockyOSBM — long-time pastor at Manhattan's St. George Church, and later in

Hamtramck, Mich. His rhetoric anderudition evoked vivid resemblance to

the late, dynamic Archbishop Sheen,who with combined humaneness andasceticism, grabbed the wretched soul byits very contritable collar and waxednear verse from mere homily's cadence.

The akademia served well i ts р и ф о в еbecause it helped to demonstrate massdevotion and tribute to Patriarch Josyf.

I t a lso provided a number of ' t rulyinspired moments. Hopefully, though,a100th anniversary (1992) will producethe kind of cultural tribute manifestly

consistent and worthy of that unprecedented occasion.

Reflections...(Continued from page 6)

wages were cut — 40 percent in the

mines and IS percent nationwide in

1885.

Few options were open to the ex

ploited. Not even the public schools

offered a way out. During the 1890s,

more of Chicago's public school chil

dren dropped out of school than gra

duated. As late as 1938,' 10 percent of

New York's school-age children did hotgo beyond elementary school and 75

percent never finished high school.

Then, as now, social theorists deve

loped fantasies to justify current social

policies. Since the red man was "a

menace" and the black man was In

ferior," placing them on reservations

and j slave plantations was ultimately

"for their own good."

Reflecting the Calvinism of the

Puritans and the social Darwinism of

Spencer, later policy apologists defined

poverty in terms of the inability of poor

people to "adapt." The rich had over

come adversity, they argued, because

they were "fit."

Another historical fantasy recently

resurrected by the Conservative esta

blishment is the bromide regarding

local initiative. "We have drifted a long

way from the old moorings," writes

James Kilpatrick, ". . .from local

responsibility."

The doctrine that welfare is a local

responsibility is an did oiie. It'was

articulated by President Franklin Pierce

in 1854 when he rejected federal in

volvement because, as 'he put it, "the

fountains of charity will be dried Up at

home'4

and the states will beepme

"humble supplicants'lor" the bounty' of

the federal gowrtimnt?Vrib`htiTuLbdy

for the poor andnndsrprivileged whose

options for most of American histbry

were generaily limited to mdehtuffed

service, commitment to almshouses and

occasional food parcels, the "fountain"

was alreadydry. Left to the discretion of

local authorities, relief was: so limited,

haphazard and fragmentary that, in

most instances, there was little if any

permanent amelioration.

And yet, despite the later hardships of

immigration and cyclical depressions,

the local responsibility principle pre

vailed. As late as 1931, when 8 million

, Americans were out of work, President

Herbert Hoover's Organization for

Unemployment Relief was still publiciz

ing the need for charity і reaffirming the

virtues of local control and calling forthe better "coordination" of local

initiatives.

America has come a long way in

recent years, and it is for this that we owe

a debt to divine providence. As we

reflect on our past in times such as these,

we should be wary of those who cling to

romantic fantasies and develop policy

on the basis of doctrinal optimism; if

our nation is to remain the beacon of

hope for the oppressed and the e x

ploited of the world, we cannot, we dare

not, rum back. `;IK-!

a good doctor and teacher," she ob-serves.

In 1977, she married a good man,wh o was orphaned early in life. Sherealized that indeed she was no t the onlyperson who had lived a hard life, therewere others. Her husband, Vasia, hadlost his father in 1954. The father hadbeen in the army during the war, he hadleft his home a strong, cheerful man andhad returned a cripp le. He died in Lviv,in an army hospital and his family couldnot pay to have his body transported tohis home town.

Vasia's mother died soon afterwardsnever surviving the tragedy of herhusband's life. Vasia was raised by hisuncle, but he, too , died, and the orphanwas on his own to earn his daily bread.Having no place to live, he applied for acommunal apartment. He was on thewaiting list from 1971, and as of 1980 hewas strfl waiting for an apartment .Vasia believed he was guaranteed anapartment. He had a jo b in management, he was a Soviet citizen, "he hadthe right o get an place to live; he had a

guaranteed right... H e had the right tohave no rights," writes his wife.

Thus, they both started to writeletters to all the authorities to get livingquarters. "Letters, statements, depositions, complaints. The result of this wasthat they got in touch with us, theyasked for my internal passport. Theywanted to exam ine it, and re-examine itand re-re-examine it Then they tookmy husband off the waiting list for anapartment. No more illusions."

By that time, the S hyliuks had a son.Ms. Shyliuk wri,tes that she does notknow whether he is a citizen of theSoviet Union, for he, like his parents,was never registered. Therefore, shewrites, this means that formally he doesnot exist He lives in reality, but becausehe is not registered, he is not alive in theeyes of the S oviet government. In fact,neither do his parents exist.

The letter goes on to say:"Our complaints to the government

continue. W e are awaiting the birth ofour second child. We live in a woodshed. The government has served uswith papers that don't a llow us to live inthe Soviet Union. They have given usthe right not to live in the Soviet Union.They have given us the right to acriminal offense for not having thepapers needed to live in the SovietUnion; the papers they took from u s."

"The irony of fate?' No. We are

Christians, who fight for our ideals. Ourfight is not easy. And we have no morestrength to Tight. AH we have left is theenergy to write to the government andask to be released from the SovietUnion. We have a guaranteed right. Theresult? Form ally, we have b een released- we no longer are registered in theSoviet Union. In reality, we are stillliving on the territory of the SovietUnion. We are living but where?'Awoodshed is not a home. M y father didnot give his life for the woodshed. Hedied for a better and brighter future forhis children, living all along in a smallhouse inthe 'miserable past/

"A tragedy? No. These are the straightfacts. The facts about our rights, ourguaranteed rights. The rights of theSoviet citizen," the letter ends.

The fate of the Shyliuk family is notknown.
