GERMAN DIPLOMAT
CASE OF VON PAPEN LONDON, April 29. Germany’s war-time arch-spy, Herr von Papen, lately Ambassador in Vienna, may have to face a charge of high treason, says the ‘ News Chronicle.’ Herr Himmler, head of the secret police, is compiling from the archives at the German Embassy in Vienna evidence, which, he hopes, will justify an indictment of von Papen, the paper states, but Herr Hitler will possibly forbid a trial, owing to the unpleasant effect on the German public. The ‘ News Chronicle ’ states that von Papen’s second secretary, Count von Kageneck, recently flew to Sweden. Both von Kageneck and von Ketteler were present at the Berchtesgaden interview between Herr Hitler and Dr Schuschnigg. Accordingly, they are aware of German commitments which were subsequently broken.
