Except for the strengthening of Israel, the most serious concern of the Zionist movement at present is the fate of Soviet Jewry, Dr. Nahum Goldmann declared here in an address to the Small Zionist Actions Committee.
Dr. Goldmann told the Actions Committee that an increase in the Israel immigration quota has been decided on as a result of unexpected, unheralded and unnegotiated emigration from East European countries. He added that while some changes were evident in the Soviet satellites, in the Soviet Union itself, the situation of the Jews was unchanged. He said that the Soviet leaders had evinced some sensitivity to criticism from non-Jewish quarters on Soviet policies toward its Jewish population.
