Ordinarily. I would not favor driving a hard bargain with another country by taking advantage of an economic disaster which has befallen it. However. when that nation is pursuing an inhumane policy. extracting what amounts to a ransom from a portion of its people who wish to emigrate. then I think that our own Government ought to use its economic leverage on behalf of defenseless and helpless human beings who seek only to live out their lives In peace and dignity. free from persecution. Just over a generation ago. the most vile genocide was practiced in Central Europe while the free world stood by and wrung its hands. We in the West cannot again ignore the cries for help.
