Berlin Paper Warns Switzerland

"Agitation has Reached Intolerable Proportions"

Berlin, Dec. 19.

A warning to Switzerland that, if she wants to be regarded as a neutral Power, she must cease her "agitation and propaganda" against Germany was contained yesterday in the "Veelkischer Beobacher."

The paper declares: "This shameless agitation has been going on for years against the internal policy of Germany, and has reached intolerable proportions since the taking over of Austria and Sudetenland "Switzerland must be told in a decided manner that it is not the least like neutrality, when all pro-German elements in the country are prosecuted and proscribed, while the worst agitators against the Reich continue to function with impunity."
