Berlin, Nov. 5.
The German Government ordered a protest to be sent to Norway yesterday against what official quarters called the "exceptionally unfriendly act" of freeing the American freighter City of Flint by the Norwegian Government. The Foreign Office spokesman said last night that he believed the German Charge d'Affaires n Oslo had already complied with instructions to protest to the Norwegian Government verbally.
The spokesman said that Norway's action, "to use the mildest expression, is unfair."
In view of President Roosevelt's appeal to Germany regarding the treatment of the American crew of the City of Flint, the spokesman said, the German prize crew was complying by "trying to put the sick American sailor ashore," It was for that reason, he said, the ship had larded at Haugesund where the Norwegian authorities released the ship to the American crew and interned the German prize crew.—United Press.
