(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
Anti-Jewish disturbances in the streets and on the beaches of this city occurred yesterday.
The anti-Jewish excesses which started some time ago and recently abated have been begun again under the pressure of anti-Semitic propaganda conducted on the pretext of an alleged Jewish attack on the former Latvian Minister of the Interior,-Berg, a well known anti-Semitic leader in Latvia.
The anti-Semitic press has assumed a threatening attitude and is urging its readers to acts of violence against the Jews. The Latvian National Club has arranged a special protest meeting and street demonstration against the alleged Jewish attack on Berg. The present Minister of the Interior, however, prohibited the holding of this meeting in fear of renewed excesses.
