THE DIGEST

AN ENCOURAGING REPORT
FROM LATVIA

II. Albin, in the Day of March 14,
calls attention to the fact that there
is one small country in Eastern Eu-
rope where Jews have no reason to
complain. This small country is
Latvia.
"Of the 2,000,000 inhabitants of
that country," Mr. Albin says, "5 per
cent are Jews. They occupy strong
economic positions and are an impor-
tant factor in the political and social
life of the country.
"In the Latvian parliament, among
the 100 deputies there nee five Jews,
just in proportion to the representa-
tion of the other elements Of the
population. There are a number of
Jewish officials in the capital and in
the provincial towns. There are also
a number of Jewish mayors. There
is no cultural or social anti-Semitsim
in Latvia. There is some semblance
of economic anti-Semitism in that
country, but the government is not
responsible for it.
'The reason for this favorable situ-
ation of the Jews in Latvia, corre-
spondence from that country claims,
is that the Latvian government is
really democratic. The Latvian con-
stitution is most progressive.
"This is another proof of the close
association of the Jewish fate with
progress and the success of real de-
mocracy."
