A nationalistic tendency is making itself evident in the policy of the White Russian government, according to reports received here from Minsk.
Leading members of the government are making efforts toward the “White Russianization” of the government machinery and the educational institutions of the country. In the higher classes in the schools of the national minorities, including those of the Jews, the teaching of the White Russian language has been made obligatory.
Seven Jewish soviets were established in the District of Mohileff, according to the report. The Soviets were established in Bar, Jaltutchoff, Kurilovelz, Jaruna, Czernowitz Sharagorod and Murafa.
