We have not read the minutes of the trial, but an inform-
ed source—the Moscow correspondent of the New York Herald
Tribune_reports that the lawyer for one of the accused Jews
called the court’s attention to the fact that “all churches sell cand-
les and wafers at high prices and nobody holds them for criminal
responsibility.” In plain words, it is common knowledge even in
Russia that Jews in the Soviet Union are not accorded the same
lega. rights as other religious groups.
There is an alleged spirit of accomodation in the Soviet Un-
ion these days. There is talk of permitting Russians of the Christ-
ion faith <o make contact with their kinsmen abroad and the Vat-
ican has been permitted to send a delegation to a church function
in the Soviet Union. Evidently the idea of coexistence—so close to
the heart cf Mr. Khrushchev these days—is not meant to encom-
pass Soviet Jewry.
Wo had hoped that the change in the political climate in the
Soviet Union would ease the Jewish situation there. Instead it
has worsened. Under Stalin they were victims of the iron fist
Under Khrushchev they are being smothered with finesse.
