A protest against the ban on Hebrew, imposed by the Bolshevist Government in Russia, was voiced at a conference of Hebrew writers which opened here yesterday.

The authorities of the Hebrew University in Jerusalem were urged to take steps with a view to persuading the universities of the world to issue a joint protest against this action of the Soviet Government. The conference also requested the Jewish National Library to return all Russian books because of the action of the Soviet Government, which returned all the Hebrew books sent recently to Moscow.
