Petitions on the part of suffering Jews in the U.S.S.R.. and protests on their behalf from abroad. have not altered the official Soviet attitude. The governments of the free world. including the Government of this great Republic. should make serious attempts to exert pressure on the men in the Kremlin in the hope of rousing them from their indifference toward the unenviable lot of the Jews. Under the existing international situation the least. if unfortunately the most. the peoples and governments of the free world can do is to publicize discriminatory practices prevalent in the Soviet Union. and ask the Soviet Government at least to allow the emigration of Jews to countries where they would be welcomed as enterprising and industrious builders of a better world. An excellent example of the kind of publicity I have in mind appeared in the New York Times of January 31. 1969. Headed: "We Appeal for the Jews of Silence." it is a fullpage advertisment sponsored by the Academic Committee on Soviet Jewry and contains an appeal signed by hundreds of distinguished academicians. both Jews and nonJews. at universities all over the United States.
