This decree also removes certain
civil limitations applying to non-
Christians. It also affects the former
exceptional methods used in applying
the laws of military service to non-
Christians. Certain limitations, for-
merly lying on landless peasants of
various religious beliefs, are removed.
The decree also cancels all executive
orders heretofore issued by civil and
military authorities creating inequali-
ties based on race or religion. For-
eigners not belonging to enemy coun-
tries are also freed from racial and
religious limitations.
