Governments Who Deny Higher Education Are Of The Devil











At the beginning, the socialist influence in the government was powerful. It has gradually become less so. About November, 1928, a new government went into office . It is decidedly conservative and reactionary. It stands for the protection of the church denominations. In Latvia, as in other countries, the financiers, politicians and clergy go hand in hand. This is a combination always against the interests of the common people . It is of the Devil.

Only those who could afford to travel abroad could obtain such an education. As a result there was practically no Latvian bourgeoisie in those days . (1929/Golden Age/July 24/pg.688)
