March 25, 1940

The Government has withdrawn the bill providing for a change in the status of minorities. The Jewish minority will continue to enjoy full cultural autonomy.

The Jewish Cultural Board has applied to General Laidoner, the Army chief, to permit correspondence with persons abroad in Yiddish, in addition to Estonian, Latvian, Finnish, Swedish, Russian, English, French and German, which are the languages now allowed.
