Fourteen Jewish members of the Communist party in White Russia were excluded from the party for observing Jewish rites, it is reported here from Minsk.

The edict of expulsion was the result of charges brought that the members had permitted the performance of the Abrahamitic rite on their male children, that they observed Seder nights and ate matzoth on Passover. This fact was reported at the general meeting of the White Russian Communist party.
