DEMAND UKRAINIAN STATE!Delegates Applaud Wilson Participation in Peace Congress.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.
Delegates at a congress held here adopted resolutions demanding the establishment of an independent Ukrainian State as an essential condition for the realization of peace and justice in Eastern Europe.
They declared themselves opposed to any armed intervention that would endanger the principle of self‑determination of nations.
One of the resolutions protests against the occupation of Eastern Galicia by Polish troops, which, the delegates assert, represents the interests of Polish imperialists.
Another resolution expresses support for President Wilson’s participation in the Peace Conference and voices confidence that he will defend the principles of right, democracy, liberty, justice, and the self‑determination of nations which he upheld during the war.
