The Right Reverend I. Bohachevsky. Ukrainian Catholic bishop of Philadelphia. has written to me regarding this matter and has set forth in detail full particulars with regard to the situation both in the Ukraine and as it concerns the Ukrainian refugees throughout Europe and his communication has been sent by me to the Secretary of State. There are over 1.000.000 Americans of Ukrainian birth or descent. thousands of whom have served in the armed forces of the United States and have fought for liberty and democracy. They have the right to expect that our Government will make every effort to assist those of their blood who are resisting an aggression that is just as despicable and reprehensible as were the practices of the Nazis. I sincerely hope that the American Government will continue to resist the demands of the Soviet that the Ukrainian refugees who are in American controlled areas be returned to Russian dominated territory and that our Government will use its good offices with other nations to the same end..
