For the past 10 years we have supposedly been increasing cultural. business. and diplomatic contacts with the Soviet Union on the assumption that their society would liberalize as a consequence. If anything the record of the past year rather dramatically belies such an assumption. The Soviet Union obviously only makes concessions. such as the temporary suspension of the emigration tax. if pressured into doing so. We do not seek any public confession of errors as the Kremlin rulers recently demanded from Krasin and Yakir. but only that they adhere to agreements solemnly signed by them and give us the hope that the necessary moral foundation is established so that the real ddtente we all desire can become a reality.
