"Thisarrangementwasapprovedby alltheCatholiceducational.institutions.

"Accordingly,theGovernmentnow requiresthattwohoursaweekbedevotedtoteachingtheTurkishlangu. age,andthatinthehigherclasses,historyandgeographybetaughtinTurkish.

"Butcouldtheforeignschools,includingtheCatholic,seriouslyoppose suchrequirements?Onecannotsay thattheyareunjust.

"Itisnotsayingtoomuch,andis onlydoingjusticetotruth,tostate thattheCatholiceducationalestablishmentsinTurkeyenjoyto-dayasatisfactorydegreeoftoleranceonthepart oftheGovernment."

Inthe-caseoftheIslamicfaith, KemalPasha'sreformsintheoutward appearanceofreligiouslifehavebeen radical,thediplomatcontinued.He paraphrasedtheattitudeofKemal, "thevictorious,"inthefollowing words:
