1. Tranamitted herewith is the remainder of the 1953 accountings forSuchasna Ukraine. This dispatch it is believed, clears up all accounts to1 ZanuarY 1954.
2, Field case officer transmits the funds, upon receipt of allotmentfrom Headquarters, to AECASSOURY 3, who receipts therefor in accordance withprocedures described in paragraph 1, referenda C.
3. The data in the enclosed reports show that the United States, Canada,Australia, Rngland, and Germany are the countries where the publication circulatesmost. Despite politically inspired action against Suchasna Ukraina in England,circulation there is relatively strong, and there are prospects that distributionin that country will increase in 1954. Sweden shows an exceptionally high per-centage of sales, considering that the total of Ukrainians in that country isless than 200 persons. Generally, sales are highest in those countries whereAECALSOVIARY 1 has active political representation (U.S.A., Australia, Canada).
L. In 1953 printing costs mounted in Germany, as evident in higher paperand printing charges. The data show clearly that KUBARK subsidy is the financialbackbone of the publication.
5. Reader reaction, as reflected by oral comment and by letters to theeditor, is generally positive. Usually receiving favorable comment are thepaper's high level, serious discussion of the problems of Communism, andspecial articles on national, economic, and bureaucratic-party processes inthe USSR. Some readers with a law educational background complain of difficultyIn understanding the publication.

6. Working contact between field case officer and the publicationeffected through XECASSO`APS 3 and 6 and 2L 497. These, mho guide thepaper's policy to a considerable degree, constantly seek material shomin:an expanding community of American and Ukrainian interests in oeeasine; theUSSR. The fielf case officer has followed a policy of suppl ring any itenthat ney serve to further American prestige and interests. The time requiredto obtain publication is usually three or four weeks and depends upon twofactors-- the publication is a semi-monthly, and the necessity of putting theitem in the hands of an English-reading expert mho has to process it forUkrainian readers.
7. Sunhasna Ukraine. and DO Zbroyi have been asked to comment on varieditems, as they happen to come to the attention of the field case officer.Among items recently treated are the following:- mrs. esta l s account of her1953 trip in the USSR (Suchasna Ukraine, 1 Nov. 1953); Iliksche e s "SecretForces," which presents a theory on underground movements (Do Ebroyi);New York Times stories on the national problem in the MR, especiallyth-ar8T7iirtry- Schwartz and Cyrus L.
