The Lithuanian Government has issued an official pamphlet which has caused great concern in Jewish circles here.
The former Democratic Government, which was overthrown by the coup of the present Government is referred to in the pamphlet as “the Government of Ozer Finkelstein and Co.” The pamphlet declares it as essential that the Constitution should be amended by means of a referendum in such a way that the Jews and other minorities should not be able to exercise any influence on Lithuanian State affairs.
