Limitation on the number of foreign students allowed to study at Austrian universities owing to the shortage of facilities and to enable the maintenance of order has been officially announced. Every foreign student newly enroling now in any of the universities, will be notified in October whether they are to be admitted.
The Jewish Telegraphic Agency understands that the restrictions are aimed to prevent the entrance of German students into Austria to strengthen the Nazi movement here.
NUMERUS AGAINST JEWS
Some newspapers here have voiced the belief that this numerus clausus will also be directed against Eastern European Jews and therefore, the Jewish attitude toward the new Government measure has been reserved. The Peasants’ Union and the Christian Socialist elements which form the backbone of the Dollfuss Government’s support have been agitating for the establishment of a racial quota for the Jews in all fields of Austrian life.
