By denying Soviet Jews the right to teach and practice their religion and by discriminating against them in education and employment. the Soviet Union is building day by day an international reputation that gives the lie to every claim that there is a humanitarian motivation to its policies and economic theories. It would be eminently reasonable and sensible for the new leadership in the Kremlin to change these destructive policies. Let the Jews freely emigrate. and free them from the statesponsored harassment and deprivation. and in doing these things the Soviet Union would add greatly to its influence and credibility in the world. We are listening and waiting. I hope they will act.*
