- He's a “Uke” and whenever you rub him the wrong way, you know it: England's sure to be defeated. The Nazis have a right to run Europe, haven't they? The Ukrainians outnumber the Poles and the Bohemians put together, but when were they ever given the chance to have a country of their own?
- w:Bruce Hutchison (1942), The unknown country: Canada and her people, New York: Coward-McCann:

- (1948), Viltis, v 6, International Institute of Wisconsin:
- One Ukrainian lad came up to me, making the statement: “If but you could remain in Windsor for one month you could be of great help in organizing our youth and do a world of good for our Ukrainian colony.” He spoke in terms as one Uke would in another.
