Discussion on the Government bill to modify the numerus clausus law, adopted last week in the lower house, was begun yesterday in the Education Committee of the Senate.
Speaking on the bill Count Klebelsberg, Minister of Education, declared that the law does not limit the freedom of teaching, but it is directed against overcrowding in the free professions.
Referring to Prime Minister Bethlen’s statement on the Jewish question, Paul Sandor declared that Bethlen was the founder of economic anti-Semitism.
In an interview with the representative of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, the Prime Minister stated that his statement at the banquet in Debrecen had bee wrongly interpreted. In stating that the question of the numerus clausus was not a religious but an economic and social one he had merely referred to the numerus clausus and not to the Jewish question as a whole. He is pleased that the Jewish question has disappeared from the order of the day and that it has become a simple, social problem.
