Latvian Nazis announced today that they will ask for a referendum to deprive Latvian Jews of the right to vote, to own property and to receive trade licenses. They also stated that they demanded the prohibition of marriages between Jews and Gentiles and of Christian doctors to treat Jewish patients.
