This was made clear this week in an interim d eclaration issued by the Fraternal Council of the Union of Christian’ Communities and Brotherhood of Reformed Doukhobors following meetings at Krestova and other Doukhobors communi- ties, Signed by William Moojel- sky, general secretary, John J. Perepelkin, chairman, and Nick Novokshonoff, treasurer of the fraternal council, the interim declaration said that a “general and final declara- tion” was now being pre- pared nd would be released in a fw weeks. The interim declaration itself was described as “suplement- ary to our official petition dated May 17, 1958, and ad- dressed to the Prime Mini- ster of Canada to which, aside from an, acknowledgement of © receipt, no reply has been re- ceived by us to date.” “We seek and are asking for an honorable restoration of our portion of the proper- ties which were _ illegally taken away from us. “We respectfully ask the government of Canada _ to recognize the logic of our de- mands in view of the fact that Doukhobors came to _ this country some 60 years ago with high hopes of freedom from persecution and for land; that for a while our group did have land; that it was lost to us; and that this loss now constitutes the basis of our group’s request for financial assistance for re- location. “Our fraternal council and membership hereby “Everything in Flowers” FROM EARL SYKES 56 E.

Immediate release of Doukhobor children now in- carcerated at New Denver, so that they can be prepared for leave-taking. “2__ Transportation costs of Doukhobors from Canada to the USSR. This payment need never come to our group but could go directly to the trans- portation companies. “3 — Reimbursement of in- dividual members for assets left in Canada. Reimburse- ment of individual members assets left in Canada should go directly to members leaving, and we ask only a fair market price for assets which consist of vehicles, buildings; lands, equipment, furniture, etc. Should the fed- eral government decide to sell these assets by auction, we would readily accept a fair auction price on goods. “4 — Costs of establishing our community in the USSR. Our fraternal council feels that payment of the costs of establishing our community in the USSR, reached by reason- able and fair study of an im- partial relocation board chosen by the federal government, and mutually appreved, could be made directly to the gov- ernment of the USSR. “The size of the payment should include such items as costs of establishing commun- ity buildings, farming equip- ment, home furnishings, first year’s seed for field ,crops, seedlings for orchards, living costs for the first year and such other items as determin- ed by the relocation board to allow the new community to exist in a reasonable manner until able to support and feed itself from the harvest of its crops.” In a number of pledges out- lined. in the interim declera- tion, the sect states: “Although members of .our group’ have never ‘considered themselves to be Canadian citizens (in 1907 citizenship was rejected by Doukhobors and they were penalized by confiscation of their lands) we would” willingly confirm and declare that we would be leaving without a thought of ever returning.” According to Mboojelsky, some 3,000 Sons of Freedom Doukhobors have already de- clared their intention of going to the USSR and an advance work party of 250 has been ready since June to leave for the Siberian relocation site chosen by a delegation which went to the USSR earlier this year. the world are shock U.S. embassy” picketed by Quebec LPP OTTAWA Some score members and suppot® | of the Quebec LPP pick the U.S. embassy here 1% hour and a half on July ae Posters carried by Pala proclaimed: “Withdraw troops from Lebanon”; bee appuie les peuples @ contre Vimperialisme”s du Liban”; “A Bas LI alisme Yankee”; Talks Now!”; “Stop prift ® World War III.” ie Three members of thé ae a gation headed by Camille | onne, Quebec LPP sectel fl | delivered a letter to presidf { Eisenhower.
