The country was quickly taken over by the Bolshevik armies. and once more Ukraine became a captive nation. Mr. Speaker. even in spite of deportations. imprisonment. religious persecution. labor camps. ruthless executions. and other Soviet repressive measures. the spirit of the people has not been broken and the hope of regaining their independence continues to burn brightly in their hearts. I salute both the Ukrainian people and those Americans of Ukrainian descent whose deep love of freedom and deep commitment to American ideals has added so greatly to the progress of our great country. Therefore. it is not only my hope but also my conviction that the people of the Ukraine. like the people of the other nations who are now slaves to Communist imperialism. the nations we refer to as captive nations. will soon be free again.
