Mr. Speaker. January 22. 1963. marks t.he 45th anniversary of Ukrainian independence. There are well over 2 milon Ukrainians and their descendants in the free countries of the world. Approximately 250.000 of these people are recent political refugees and their experiences with tyranny are fresh. Their common goal is the liberation of their native land. The Ukrainian people are a proud. :individualistic. separate ethnic group as distinct and loathsome of communi. tic oppression as are the other peoples enslaved by the Kremlin. Under the yoke of communism the resistance of the people has shifted from armed struggle to other levels: sabotage on collective farms and in factories. absenteeism. agitat.on for higher wages. and the like.
