ROME, Aug. 28—The future

only
follow' their professions for the
exclusive benefit of the Jewish
race.
By a series of new decrees ju t
issued, Jews henceforth are for-
bidden the right to follow the pro-
Kisaion of notaries. Journalism is
also a forbidden field except in
instances w'here special permission
has been granted as in the case of
war veterans.
For a large number of other
professions stringent rules here-
after will have to be observed. If
they, are not, the employe can be
expelled permanently, from his
profession in extreme cases.
Even Trade* ,Affected
The professions affected are:
Surgeon, pharmacist, veterinary,
obstetrician, engineer, architect,
accountant, attorney, tradesman,
land surveyor, agriculturist, agri-
cultural or business appraiser.
To fo low the normal pursuits
of the aforementioned professions
Italian Jews must, first of all,
notify, authorities that they are
Jewish within a limited time of a
little over three weeks. Failure to
do so many result in one month's
imprisonment or a fine amounting
to approximately $150. At the
same time Jews cease to he mem-
bers of all syndical associations
juridically recognised.
Following this it is necessary
that they got their names in-
scribed in special professional
lists. This is more complicated.
To have their names added to the
lists of their profession they must:
Be an Italian citizen.
, Be of good moral conduct and

trary to the interests of the re-
gime and the nation.
Be a resident of the district

Cardenas cabinet and candidate of
the Cardinas regime, which in-

Failure of the Cardenas regime
