Expelled by Reich Move Believed Reprisals for Expulsion of Germans

Three Prominent Britons

Berlin, Apr. 24

Three prominent British businessmen have been informed that they must leave Germany by May 10.

They are Mr. John Neill, a partner in the well-known firm of auditors, Messrs, Price, Waterhouse & Ca, in Berlin; Mr. Leslie Parkin, general manager in Hamburg for the Eastern Telegraph Company, and Mr. Cowan Edlinson, a merchant, also a resident of Hamburg.

The British authorities here are reported to be making representations on their behalf.

It is believed that the expulsion of the three Britons is in the nature of reprisals for the expulsion of three Germans from Britain recently.—
