Unser Stimme, Riga organ of the Agudath Israel, orthodox Jewish group, was prohibited by the Latvian authorities yesterday. This was the only remaining Jewish paper in Latvia.
Reports received here yesterday stated that the Latvian government announced that every minority group will be allowed to publish one newspaper, but that the question will be regulated by the government at a later date. In the meantime the Jewish population of Latvia is left without newspapers. Foreign Jewish newspapers were prohibited last week.
