Newspapers today published the purported text of a decree for “protection of national labor” which even right-wing editors describe as unconstitutional and communistic. Although the Government denies the accuracy of the text as published, it is understood that the proposed decree will be based on a final draft to be submitted to the Cabinet by Commerce Minister Valerius Pop.

According to the published text, the edict will give the Ministry of Industries the right to take arbitrary measures in connection with employment in all public or private enterprises, which will be obliged to hand over necessary information under penalty of being taken over by the Government. The Government will have the right to dismiss all foreign personnel employed in any enterprise.

Right-wing newspapers, commenting that the decree as drafted is unconstitutional and even communistic, declare “it remains to be seen whether M. Pop will succeed in putting it through.”
