BATCH OF GERMANS

TO BE EXPELLED c From Britain [Aust. & N.Z. Cable Assn.] (Received August 11, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, August 11. The Daily Herald discloses that there now are before the Home Minister. Sir Samuel Hoare, a batch of names of Germans who will be informed that they are not wanted in Britain. The batch of names is based on reports made by German-speaking members of Scotland Yard on activities of Nazi organisations in London. The three German journalists who have been ordered to leave England, Langer. Crome and Wredge, were heads of the Nazi organisations in London. The Daily Telegraph asserts that a hundred Germans, self-described as journalists, landed at British ports a few weeks ago. GERMAN JEWS SAFETY. LONDON, August 11. i It is estimated that there are five ’ hundred Nazis in Britain spreading■propaganda, spying, and organising plans threatening the safety of the i German-,lewish refugees in Britain. SPANISH INSURGENTS. EXPELLING GERMAN JOURNALIST. ST. JEAN DE LUZ, August 11. Expulsion orders, from Saint Jean de Luz, have been served on Herr Woos, the correspondent of the German Official News Agency, by Count Navaletera, the Director of General Franco’s press bureau.

Nazi Reprisal FOR BRITISH ACTION. [Aust. & N.Z. Cable Assn.] BERLIN, August 10. An official communique states: The British Government has been requested to use its influence with “The I Times” to recall Mr Ebbutt, as other- > wise his permit will be cancelled. This measure proves necessary because Mr Ebbutt, for years, has done his reporting only in a spirit hostile to Germany, thus abusing the hospitality granted to him. The “Borsen Zeitung” declares: It can certainly be expected that the measures taken against Mr Ebbutt will be taken against other correspondents, who have actively looked into Germany’s domestic politics. It is an open secret that a number of foreign • correspondents, recently working in co-operation with enemies of the State, used information from them for false reports. LONDON, August 10. I The Berlin correspondent of “The Times” says that, in view of Mr Ebbutt’s standing with the Foreign Press Association, representing 103 correspondents from 23 countries, of whirfi Mr Ebbutt is a former president, a meeting is to be held on August 11, to investigate the situation, legally and professionally. “The Times” says: It can be stated with absolute certainty that the termination of the right of the three German journalists to remain in London has nothing whatever to do with the way in which they have discharged their professional duties. They have clearly been asked to go on account of activities which lay outside their professional activities, and it may become necessary to state precisely what these activities have been. “The Times,” referring to the projected action against their Berlin correspondent, says that there could be no question of replacing Mr Ebbutt by a more amenable correspondent.
