We must accept the statement that failure to endorse this totally riskfree proposal was merely a blunder rather than a willful act. In either case. the implications in terms of the priority given to this humanitarian problem by our Government are depressing. And there are other international organizations. such as the United Nations High Commission for Refugees and the International Refugee Organization. whose aid in this matter could be enlisted if our Government were prepared to make the effort. Most regrettably. we have done nothing along these lines. Finally. our Government has done little or nothing to provide moral support to the Soviet Jewish community. in spite of the fact that any trace of world support has invariably provided an indispensable encouragement to Jews and other libertarian dissidents in the Soviet Union.
