inhumane acts which con-
flict the the Helsinki and
Madrid accords, which viol-
ate the Soviet Constitution
and which offend against
national justice.
Immediately after the
march, the Jewish leaders
began a two-day session of
the Presidium of the World
Conference on Soviet
Jewry. Participants include
Edgar Bronfman, president
of the World Jewish Con-
gress; Leon Dulzin, chair-
man of the World Zionist
Organization; and Greville
Janner MP, president of the
Board of Deputies of British
Jewry.
In a related develop-
ment, Prime Minister
Margaret Thatcher
pledged her "absolute
support" and that of her
government to ease the
plight of Soviet Jewry.
Dulzin, presidium chair-
man, said Mrs. Thatcher
had spontaneously stated
that she and her govern-
ment would "do absolutely
everything in support of our
just cause."
Dulzin said that the doors
of the Soviet Union were
now closed to Jewish emig-
ration.
Julius Berman, chairman
of the Conference of
Presidents of Major Ameri-
can Jewish Organizations,
said the U.S. Administra-
tion had told American
Jewry that because of the
depth of the freeze in U.S.-
Soviet relations, Washing-
ton currently had little
leverage in Moscow over
Soviet Jewry and that world
Jewry at this time should
enlist the support of West-
ern Europe and the Third
World.
Earlier, at the end of its
proceedings, the
presidium issued a com-
munique assuring Soviet
Jewry that they were not
alone in their struggle
and that the Jewish
people throughout the
world stood "united be-
hind them, supported by
governments, parlia-
ments and significant
political, religious, aca-
demic and trade union
groups."
To the government of the
Soviet Union it declared:
"Reopen the gates for those
Jews wishing to join their
brethren; release from
prison all those Jews whose
solo crime is a desire to go to
their homeland and enable
them to maintain their cul-
tural and religious identity;
put an end to the oppressive
