Reactions to events in Poland
Amnesty International
LONDON - Amnesty International
appealed to Poland's new military
authorities on December 22, 1981, to
release thousands of people who have
been interned without being charged or
even suspected of having committed
any crime.
In a letter to Gen. Wojciech Jaruzel-
ski, head of the Polish Military Council,
the human-rights organization said
mass round-ups and summary trials
carried out under, martial law violated
international standards.
It called for the release of everyone
interned, arrested or imprisoned for the
non-violent exercise of basic rights.
Amnesty International would consider
everyone in this category a prisoner, of
conscience, the worldwide movement
said.
The letter expressed fears for the
health and safety of the thousands
interned without charge, pointing out
that many were reported to be held in
cold, overcrowded conditions. It called
attention to foreign press reports that
several people had already died in
internment.
Calling for the revocation of intern­
ment, the letter said: "Amnesty Inter­
national believes that the provisions of
internment have led to large-scale
arbitrary detention."

NEW YORK - In a statement issued

there."
The statement went on to note:
"We earnestly hope that negotiation
between the Polish authorities, Solida­
rity and Church leaders can bring a
reversal of these acts, a renewal of
recent trends toward'greater freedom
and reform and peaceful resolution of
the present crisis by the Polish people
themselves, without outside interfe­
rence.
"Aware of the plight of the Polish
people at a time of food shortages and
economic difficulty, we urge reinforce­
ment of private humanitarian efforts to
relieve their suffering. Moreover, we
urge that our government permit and
facilitate the forwarding of such aid,
and consider what else may be done to
relieve this situation.
"We further ask our government to
show appropriate receptivity to the
thousands of Poles now in Vienna
seeking refuge in other lands."

Abrams outlines human-rights policy
WASHINGTON - Elliot Abrams,
who was sworn in on December 11 as
the new assistant secretary of state for
human rights and humanitarian affairs,
told reporters several weeks ago that he
plans to deviate from the high-profile
human-rights policy of the previous
administration and work through "pri­
vate diplomatic channels," particularly
when friendly governments are in­
volved, reported the Associated Press.
In alluding to the policy of the Carter
Administration, the 33-year-old former
Senate aide,said: "If your human-rights
policy consists mostly of public speech­
es, then everyone will see what you're
doing and you will get a great deal of
credit for your efforts."
He added: "In a sense, whether or not
they work, you get an 'A` for effort."
That, he said "is not a human-rights
policy. It's public relations policy."
Mr. Abrams did admit, however, that
Yuzyk criticizes Canadian Constitution
OTTAWA - In a speech before the
Canadian Senate on December 8, 1981,
Sen. Paul Yuzyk said that the new
Canadian Constitution provides inade­
quate protection for the country's non-
English and non-French minorities,
which comprise one-third of the Cana­
dian population.
Referring to them as "the other
Canadians," Sen. Yuzyk indicated that,
although section 27 mentions the "pre­
servation and enhancement of the
multicultural heritage of Canadians,"
the document contains "no provision
for the ways and means of preserving
and enhancing this multicultural heri­
tage and no provision preventing go­
vernments from opting out of this
section."
Noting that the charter guarantees
full protection of French and English
culture in section 16, which spells out
Parliament's right to "advance the
equality of status or use of English and
French," Sen. Yuzyk added that there is
nothing in the proposed constitution
that goes beyond simply acknowledg­
ing, in a very broad way, the rights of
Canada's ethnic minorities.
"Therefore, this protection of the
rights of these minorities is, in reality,
meaningless," the senator said.
In addition. Sen. Yuzyk said that he
viewed the proposed constitution as an
incomplete document, and he called for
a constitutional convention sometime
in the future to modernize and improve
it.
Plast plans world jamboree
by Roman Juzeniw
NEW YORK - An International
Plast Jamboree, commemorating Plast's
70th anniversary, will be held at the
Vovch Tropa Phut camp at East Chat­
ham, N.Y.^August 14-22, 1982.
This jamboree will be one of a series
of three which will mark Plast's jubilee
year — the first one near Melbourne,
Australia, from December 24 to
January 3, 1982; the aforementioned
one at East Chatham; and a concluding
jamboree to be held in Europe in the
summer of 19ЙЗ.
Today Plast is active in six countries:
Canada, the United States, Argentina,
Great Britain, West Germany and
Australia.
As to the International Plast Jam­
boree in the United States, the U.S.
National Plast Command has called

quiet diplomacy does have its problems.
One "insoluble problem," he said, is
that such an approach raises credibility
questions.
Commenting on the contention by
former Argentine political prisoner
Jacobo Timmerman that quiet diplo­
macy is a "policy of surrender," and
former President Jimmy Carter's claim
that because of his highly visible efforts,
thousands of political prisoners around
the world were set free, Mr. Abrams
said that "it's very hard to say what
precipitated" those releases.
The key to the new policy will be
flexible tactics, Mr. Abrams said. "I
don4 have any predilection for any
particular tactic - public condemna­
tion, diplomatic efforts', security and
economic sanctions. The question is:
What is likely to have the desired
effectr
According to the senator, the pro­
posed constitution "is not a complete
modern constitution which will meet
present-day needs and be flexible
enough to provide the means for the
solution of future problems."
Citing the U.S. Constitutional Con­
vention of 1787 as an example, Sen.
Yuzyk called for a similar convention in
his country.
"This body should consist of experts
drawn from all walks of life, as well as
representatives of classes, women,
minorities, regions and so forth," he
said. "The delegates would have at their
disposal a considerable amount of
material and recommendations made
by a joint parliamentary committee in

Despite his criticism, there are things
in the proposed document that Sen.
Yuzyk found acceptable.
"I am particularly happy that the new
constitutional document includes equal
rights for women, for which I intro­
duced an amendment in the Senate;
aboriginal and treaty rights of native
peoples; and the recognition of multi-
culturalism," he said.
Yet, Sen. Yuzyk stated that these
rights remain "not,adequately defined"
in the Constitution, particularly when
compared to the iron-clad legal safe­
guards afforded the English and French
cultures.

Koliadky and Shchedrivky

by H. 0 . Prydatkevytch
Reprinted from the January 1957 issue ol The Ukrainian Trend, a magazine published by the
Ukrainian Youth League ol North America.

Although the Christmas season is associated primarily with the birth of Christ,
c
many of the Ukrainian customs connected with the observance of this holiday trace
their roots to the pagan festival Koliada in tribute to the sun god (the bountiful god,
giver of life and all good things), There were annual celebrations in his honor, but
the first holiday, the late-December. Koliada, occurred when the sun in the sky
became-stronger, when the days were beginning to be longer and the nights shorter,
signifying the rebirth of the sun's power. This festival also combined in its
celebration a thanksgiving for the harvest
Each of the principal Ukrainian holidays has its own cycle of songs; the songs of
this season are known as koliadky. Pagan priests of the sun-god Lada gathered
together the old men and went from house to house with a picture of a wild goat,
singing songs in honor of Lada (Ko Lada) while the lord of the manor, his family and
servants consumed a sacramental meal of grain, honey and poppy`seed.
In ancient times koliadky were ritualistic folk songs based upon folk life and
the exploits of heroes of the day. With the introduction of Christianity in Ukraine in
988 by Prince Volodymyr the Great, pagan carols began to be replaced by.Christian
carols and festival hymns celebrating the birth of Christ Worship, of nature
persisted and as a result pagan holidays and feasts were still observed (though with
Christian influences) and Christianized pagan carols were sung.
It was inevitable that the two would make concessions and definite contributions
to each other, since the Christian winter holiday readily lent itself to assimilation by
the pagan, more so than any other holiday.
The Christianized pagan carols retained thematic content of nature and many of
the carols still contain symbolic fragments of events in Ukrainian history (e.g. the
siege of Constantinople). Nevertheless, the Christian element in this type of carol,
with its references to the Christ Child, Holy Family, or the Church, is dominant and
the pagan characters serve as a purely decorative element. The Ukrainian element
pervades throughout and, combined with the naive, simple melodies, makes these
songs the most charming of the entire Christmas carol literature.
Christian carols which were free of pagan elements but which retained Ukrainian
characteristics both in text and in melody took on the form of church hymns. Soon
the national element began to disappear, leaving onJy the familiar melodic line with
religious text. The Ukrainians retained and eventually adapted these hymns, Ukrainian carolers as depicted by Edward Kozak.

The vertep
by Sonya Gural

The vertep is a type of puppet show staged in a portable theater with two levels.
The first part of the performance, a religious drama, was shown on the upper level. It
was followed by a secular drama, either tragedy or comedy based on the everyday
life of the common people, which was presented on the lower level.
This Ukrainian puppet theatre tradition is medieval in origin, dating at least from
the 15th century, and is a vestige of the morality play tradition, for it; is parallel to the
morality plays performed throughout Europe during this epoch.
Because nativity plays were extremely popular in the developing theatre life of
Ukraine at this time, they became the first part of the vertep puppet performance
and so, vertep (meam'ng creche) became the name of this theatre form.
Within this tradition, there are many variations in the vertep container and the
performances. The verier container in its simplest form was essentially an open-
sided wooden box with two levels. It could easily be transported by one man. There
were many variations. For example, carolers carried a very simple box, a single-
level vertep depicting the nativity story. Itinerant wandermg "vertepnyky" would
have more complete versions and would come into a town and give their
performance in public places or be invited into private well-to-do homes.
The elaborate version of the container was popular in the Kozak Baroque period
of the 17th century with the Kiev Academy students. Their theatre was in the shape
of a two-story nobleman's house.
The puppets were usually simple string puppets that were costumed
appropriately for the religious or secular drama in which they placed a part.
The vertep performances were very popular and, just as their counterparts in
Europe, thev served not only to impart religious, instruction (dramas such as the Veselka's illustration of children carrying a simple vertep.

Mace lectures on 1930s famine
TORONTO - More than 150 people
gathered on December 13, 1981, in the
impressive neo-Gothic halls of Hart
House at the University of Toronto to
hear a lecture by Dr. James Mace on the
Ukrainian famine of 1933.
This was the first in a series of joint
scholarly ventures undertaken between
the Chair of Ukrainian Studies at the
University of Toronto and the Ukrai­
nian Research Institute at Harvard
University.
In his introductory remarks, Dr. Paul
R. Magocsi of the Chair of Ukrainian
Studies lamented the experience of the
20th century, which has witnessed
"man's inexhaustible ability to inflict
hardship on his fellow man."
After listing some of the most well-
known victims of mass persecution -
the Armenians during World War I; the
Jews, Gypsies and Slavs during World
War II; and the Ibos and Cambodians
in more recent years - Dr. Magocsi
pointed out how many of these horrible
episodes have been recorded and re­
membered, but knowledge of others,
such as the , Ukrainian experience of
1933, has been "actively suppressed or
almost conveniently forgotten."
"As painful as it may be," he conti­
nued, "this story should not be for­
gotten, and now, almost half a century
later, some scholars and writers are
making a concerted effort to examine
one of the greatest Ukrainian tragedies
of this century."
At Harvard, the Ukrainian Research
Institute has launched a three-year
project which will result in at least one
comprehensive study of the Ukrainian
famine of 1933. The guest speaker, Dr.
James Mace, a post-doctoral fellow and
specialist on Soviet nationality policies,

academy is reserved for those persons
who, through their studies and works,

and effort on Plast's part and both
material and moral support from the
entire Ukrainian community.
While the jamboree's nine-day sche­
dule has not been worked out in full
detail, the basic schedule of events is as
follows:
Saturday, August 14 — opening
ceremonies; Sunday — divine liturgy;
Monday through Thursday — pro­
grams in the individual camps (hiking,
sports, orienteering, bonfires); Friday
- Friendship Day; Saturday - sports
finals, artistic performances, scouting
skills demonstrations; Sunday, August
22 — liturgy and closing ceremonies.
At the December 12 meeting, the
presidium of the organizing committee
approved several Plast mem­
bers to head sub-committees:
Andriy Rakowsky, safety and
communications; Dr. Alexander
Chernyk, medical care; Mychajlo He-
retz, transportation; Jurij Ferencewych,
ceremony; Roman Juzeniw, press;
Lubomyr Jawny, publications; Jurij
Ihor Pawliczko, philately; Jurij Deny-
senko, film and photography; and
Oksana Kuzyszyn, special guests.
Additionally, Mr. Lastowecky an­
nounced that a candidate for the post of
jamboree commander had been sub­
mitted to the National Plast Command
and that quick approval was expected.
Also announced was the fact that
Wyacheslaw Wyshnewsky will be the
representative of Plast seniors in the
organizing committee and that a spot in
the committee has been reserved for a
representative of Canada's National
Plast Command.
What will ultimately, decide the
success of this jamboree will be its
planned program. Plast is divided into
four age groups: "novatstvo" (7-11);
"yunatstvo" (11-18); "starshe plastun-
stvo" (18-31); and seniors (31 and over),
and each will ha ve its separate camp and
programs at the jamboree, as will
Plastpryiat (whose members are the
parents of Plast children and Plast
supporters).
As regards "novatstvo," the number
of participants will be limited due to a
shortage of proper accommodations.
The theme of their camps will be based
on an exchange of customs and infor­
mation on the six countries where
Plast is active.
For "yunatstvo," the main element of
the program will be hikes, with small
groups of Plast youths hiking in diffe­
rent locations. Sites currently being
studied are: western Massachusetts and
the Adirondack Mountains.
"Starshi plastuny," seniors and "Plast­
pryiat" will each have their own pro­
grams, involving such activities as field
trips in the surrounding area, bonfires,
meets, etc.
International Plast jamborees occur
every five years, alternating between
Canada and the United States, Realiz­
ing the fact that there will be many Plast
members from thoughout the
world present, as well as members of
other Ukrainian and non-Ukrainian
youth organizations, the organizing
committee says it is doing everything
possible to ensure that this Interna­
tional Plast Jamboree will be a truly
memorable one.

' The persistent assault of the Soviet
penal system on the physical and mental
health of its prisoners should be re­
viewed according to international defi­
nitions of torture.
" The government of the USSR
should bear full moral and legal res­
ponsibility before the international
community for the use of torture. ,
My analysis of Soviet camps and
prisons is primarily in light of the
continued imprisonment of members of
the Ukrainian Helsinki Group. But I
cannot forget that similar conditions
are the daily lot of millions of prisoners
in the USSR.
I would like to briefly describe the
conditions of internal exile. Ukrainian
political prisoners serve their exiles
regions of Siberia, Yakutia, Kazakh­
stan or the Far Eastern USSR. During
the term of internal exile, as during
imprisonment, work on government
projects is mandatory. During his exile
in 1980, Vasyl Lisovy was sentenced to
additional imprisonment because he
was unable to work due to poor health.
Exile is only a slight improvement over
imprisonment: one can put on as much
clothing as one's tired body demands,
and can eat one's fill.
In each public testimony, I mention
the name of Yuriy Shukhevych who has
endured 29 years of imprisonment. In
1979, he participated in the prisoners'
(camp) Helsinki group and later joined
the Ukrainian Public Helsinki Group.
The Ukrainian Helsinki Group has
many supporters. Some of them `werc

Hanna Mykhailenko and Vasyl Bar-

about them.)
Ukrainian political prisoner, Yuriy
Badzio, deserves special mention. (I
submit an informational summary on
his fate.)
Thank you for your attention. I am
ready to answer any questions you may
have to the best of my ability.
