MR PANTER’S ARREST
A GUARDED COMMUNIQUE TRIAL NOW UNLIKELY (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) BERLIN, October 29. Diplomatic circles are confident that Mr Panter will not be tried following a guarded communique in which the Government for the first time revealed Mr Panter’s arrest, adding that he had been in touch with a German living at Munich who was suspected of espionage and sending atrocity stories abroad. It is anticipated from this that the Government is blaming the German journalist more than Mr Panter, who is expected to be expelled from Bavaria. EARLY RELEASE URGED. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, October 28. It is understood that when the German Ambassador called at the Foreign Office yesterday, Sir John Simon drew attention to the circumstances of the arrest of the Munich correspondent of the Daily Telegraph (Mr Noel Panter), and took the opportunity of reinforcing the points made by the British Ambassador in Berlin in his official inquiries at the German Foreign Office. A resolution was passed unanimously by the executive of the Institute of Journalists in London expressing surprise and indignation at Mr Panter’s arrest. It urges the British Government to make every effort to secure his early release.
