The Ambassador in Italy (Phillips) to the Secretary of State

225. My telegram No. 223, September 1, 6 p.m. The Council of Ministers today approved a Decree Law excluding all persons both of whose parents were of the Jewish race from the teaching profession in general and barring such persons from admission to all schools and institutions of learning recognized by the State. A transitional exception is made in the cases of those previously enrolled in the universities who will be permitted to continue their studies.
