The Pope is not inclined to compromise with racial theories in Italy, Arnoldo Cortesi, New York times correspondent, said in his Castel Gandalfo dispatch. “It is easy, moreover, to foresee that the race problem is a matter on which the Holy See and the Italian Government may join issue at some no very distant date,” he added. A Rome dispatch said the Secretary General of the Fascist Party has called the attention of provincial secretaries to the new race doctrine in a way which, the Times correspondent said, “will be interpreted as instructions to make life difficult for the Jews.”
