How sad it is that the world today countenances and even abets the atrocious international double standard now being applied to the Jews in our midst. What a confession of international moral bankruptcy. We dare not. for our own sakes. turn our eyes from the tragic realities of Soviet Russia today. no matter how we yearn for rapprochement. The Vanik and Jackson amendments have forced the Russians to ease some restrictions on emigration. Yet we dare not doubt for an instant that if we relax the pressure they will almost immediately clamp the lid on the hopes of these people. slamming the door to a new life shut in theoir faces. Soviet promises are as reliable as the vagaries of the wind.
