The newspapers in Germany on June 24 wore ordered to print prominently on their front pages an official report to the effect that foreign aeroplanes of an unknown type had appeared over Berlin that afternoon and that the occupants had dropped pamphlets insulting to the Government. The Minister of Air, Captain Goering, said that as the air police did not possess aircraft several sporting machines pursued the aeroplanes referred to but could not overtake the intruders. The newspapers also wero ordered to publish an official statement strongly protesting about Germany's defencelessness in the air. The statement added: "Pamphlets were dropped to-day. High incendiary bombs may be dropped tomorrow. \\ 11v have we no aeioplancs. On the following day Captain Goering decided to order 'two police aeroplanes immcdiatelv. He declared: "We must havo defence from aeroplanes. I have not a single machine that I could send aloft. Yesterday's incident shows how defenceless Germany is. Communist machines might come over Berlin at any time." FEWER UNEMPLOYED CLAIM BY THE NAZIS (Rccoi>rtul July 25, G. 25 p.m.) BERLIN.
