If any funds are allocated by the Jewish Community for secular purposes, the Vilna District Chief writes in an official letter received by ex-Deputy Dr. Wygodsky, the President of the Vilna Jewish Community, the money will have to be made good out of the pocket of the President of the Community, since the new Government regulations governing the work of the Jewish Communities lays it down that the Communities are of an exclusively religious character and must confine themselves severely to religious activities.
