Friday, August 10, 1919 35 Broomfield Would Kill MFN for Romania Rep. William S. Broom- field (R-Mich.), the ranking Republican on the House International Relations Committee, has released a statement criticizing the Carter Administration's continued backing of Most Favored Nation trade status for Romania. Rep. Broomfield said, "The Administration's 'hu- man rights' cornerstone seems to be unusually soft for it often crumbles under weighty foreign policy ques- tions. "This cornerstone crum- bled once again when the Administration vigorously opposed a bill before the House of Representatives which would have revoked trading status from to- talitarian Romania. This unsuccessful bill, which I supported, would have pro- vided substance to our na- tion's human rights dec- larations. "Four years ago, Romania became the first Communist nation to re- ceive MFN status. At that time, Romania had dis- played a strong spirit of independence from Soviet domination, and it was hoped that this would encourage other nations in Eastern Europe. "In return for this favored status and millions of dol- lars in credits, Romania gave its solemn pledge to live up to our country's `freedom of emigration' re- quirements, and to imple- ment the requirements of the Helsinki Accords on human rights which it signed. "Instead, we have wit- nessed an increase in the level of oppression and in the number of barriers to emigration after granting MFN status. "We have received re- peated assurances that Romania would change its policy, and we have seen these assurances violated repeatedly. "We have seen the forced assimilation of Romania's second largest ethnic group — its 21/2 million Hungarians. There have been well- documented reports of a systematic effort to de- stroy a whole network of Hungarian cultural in- stitutions in order to dep- rive this ethnic group of its language, traditions, and cultural identity. "Beyond this, the Hunga- rian population has been subject to official harass- ment and discrimination that makes their lives one of despair. We have seen the con- tinuation of government forced labor camps where political and religious pris- oners and prisoners of con- science are incarcerated, controlled, and politically `re-educated' through drugs and electro-shock treat- ments. "We have witnessed the numbers of emigrants allowed to leave Romania for Israel and other countries steadily decline during the years of MFN status. "Prior to receiving MFN status, as many as 4,000 people per year were allowed to emigrate. In 1978, this number had dwindled to less than 1,200 people, and so far this year, less than 300 people have been able to emigrate from Romania. "Further, the barriers to emigration have steadily increased in direct violation of the Helsinki Accords. Once, only an application for emigration was needed. Now, pre-application forms are required with requisite waiting periods which in- crease the time a person can be subject to harassment, intimidation and punitive action. "The House of Represen- tatives' refusal to revoke the MFN status from Romania will make this the fourth year in a row that the House has accepted the as- surances of the Romanian government that it will change its policy on human rights. Romania's recent history has shown other- wise . ." Meanwhile, Leon Dul- zin; chairman of the World Zionist Organiza- tion and Jewish Agency Executives, contends there has been "a change for the better in Romania's promises" re- garding the free emigra- tion of Romanian Jews to Israel. There are an estimated 40,000 Jews still living in Romania, out of a post-war total of 400,000. Almost 350,000 have gone to Israel over the years and thus al- most all of those who still remain have relations or friends in Israel. Part of the heavy Israeli tourism to Romania each summer comprises former Roma- nians visiting relatives, and there is some Jewish tourist traffic, though restricted, in the other direction. According to Dulzin, who just returned from Romania, one-third of the Jews in Romania actively want and intend to immig- rate to Israel. Another third would consider the move but the remainder cannot, because of age, infirmity or other reasons. The Minister of Reli- gions of the Romanian government assured Dulzin that the proce- dures for applying for exit visas would hence- forth be simplified. Dul- zin accordingly urged the Jews wherever he went to make applications — repeated applications if necessary — and in this way put the govern- ment's pledges to the test. Meanwhile, Dulzin in- formed Romanian officials that the WZO had, when asked for advice, told U.S. Jewish organizations that in its view Romania did de- serve most-favored-nation trade status. This advice was apparently given on the basis of past statistics and the promises of a change in present restrictions on emigration. Dulzin had praise for his host, Chief Rabbi Moshe Rosen, to whom he ascribes the impressive religious organization of the Roma- nian community which has ritual slaughterers and kosher restaurants in many cities, synagogues and He- brew classes, burial societies and other institu- tions. Romania,. said Dulzin, has one of the best-run na- tional Jewish communities anywhere — and this was almost entirely thanks to Rosen. The Jewish Agency has undertaken to send to Romania five religious offi- cials to keep .up religious services and practices in the outlying communities, Dul- zin said. "It is a real holy mission to go out there for a year or two," he remarked. SAM BARNETT IMPORTER AND CUTTERS OF FINE DIAMONDS \ I I t . SAVE! Xr SAVE! BUY DIRECT "? r. FROM THE IMPORTER , SEYMOUR.
