A revision of the status of the declassed Jews of Russia with particular attention to the problem of the Jewish youth is promised to the Ort, society for the promotion of technical trades among the Jews of Eastern Europe, in a letter from M. Gorbunov, writing on behalf of V. V. Schmidt, vice-president of the Soviet cabinet. The Ort had made inquiries concerning the voteless and declassed Jews.

The letter points out that the Soviet cabinet has already reinstated a considerable number of the declassed Jews and the technical difficulties to their admission to industry and to their receiving technical instruction in the professional workers’ institutes have now been abolished.
