Just a few weeks ago. the Soviet Government added another monstrous deed to its long list of crimes against its Jewish community. It demanded that those educated Jews who wish to escape from their cultural prison pay "exit fees." The latest information indicates that these fees range from $4.320 for trade school graduates to $37.440 for scholars with doctoral degrees. It is virtually impossible for the prospective emigrants to raise such huge sums in the Soviet Union. especially since they are usually fired from their jobs as soon as they apply for exit visas. The intent of the Soviet Government is shamefully clear. With utter disregard of the most basic rights of men. the Kremlin is holding its Jewish technicians. scientists. and educators for ransom.
