AN AMERICAN CALL "Uarodnia Gazeta" (People‘s Gazette), Ukrainian â€" language weekly, Winnipeg. f We have been witnessing a mt.turyl struggle and the extraâ€" bravery of the sons and daughters of Great Britain and also the unusual wisdom, devotedness and selfâ€"sacrifice of that vanguard of the world proletariatâ€"the Britâ€" ish labor class. And when the scales of history, in this struggle of life and death, were nlincini back and forth, when, around this unâ€" heardâ€"of duel, dark clouds were gathering and the hyenas and the coyotes of the world were ominousâ€" ly wailing, the question arose in one‘s mind: who would help the brilliant knight in his mortal comâ€" bat, who would extend to him his friendly, powerful, brotherly hand?

A world half slave and half free is a world enslaved. No Ukrainian can close his eyes to the sufferings of his brethren in Europe. It must be obâ€" vious to everyone by now that our Eeople and our Homeland cannot reak the shackles and bonds of slavery until democracy is triumphâ€" ant throughout the world. While one autocrat remains whether he be brown or red, flreen or black, the world will suffer the shame of bondage.
