(Jewish Telegraphic Agency)
The affection which the Jewish population in Latvia had for the late president of the Republic, Jan Tschakste, was shown by the action of the Latvian branch of the Jewish National Fund.
The Fund proclaimed a popular subscription to inscribe the name of the late president in the Golden Book of the Fund in recognition of his friendly attitude toward Judaism and Zionism.
