GERMAN IN CZECHOSLOVAK

PRISON

(Received June 18, noon.)

BERLIN, June 17.

The Press gives prominence, with veiled threats of reprisal, to the alleged torture of a German, Bruno Weigel, in a Czechoslovak prison in Prague.

Weigel was arrested and is alleged to have been tortured because he refused to give information about Nazi activities in Czechoslovakia. He was released without explanation.

The Press says that the soles of his feet were beaten with rubber truncheons and electricity applied to them, He was told he and his wife would be condemned to death.

have rendered it desirable to modify this policy. It has been foreseen that Britain might be gravely handicapped in a future war by the vulnerability of her munition works from the air and the difficulty of securing raw materials from the Dominions and dispatching munitions to them.

"Some progress has aready been made in making defence equipment interchangeable. Thus Australia, which is erecting two new munition factories, will be prepared to supply New Zealand and the requirements of the Naval Base at Singapore. Her aircraft works, which are now building American model planes, will be adapted to build British models."
