The Italian Government has agreed to include all minorities in the proposed treaty to protect the rights of Italian minorities in an independent Tripoli, following the forthcoming elections there under international supervision, it was announced here today by the World Jewish Congress.
The announcement said that the decision was reached following conversations conducted at the Italian Foreign Ministry in Rome by Rev. Maurice Perlzweig, in behalf of the W.J.C., and Dr. Rafaelo Cantoni, president of the Union of Italian Jewish Communities. The talks chiefly concerned the position of Jewish minorities in the former Italian colonies and resulted in complete agreement on a common approach at the forthcoming session of the U.N. General Assembly, the announcement added.
