BROWN TERROR

j OUTRAGES IN GERMANY i • j Numerous Victims Parade Streets i TALES OF CRUELTY Press Association.I—Cop/right, 1 —Cop/right, j Reed. Today, in.2o a.m. ! London, April 23 —The Manchester ; Guardian's Berlin correspondent says j that despite the Government's per- ' sistent denials, the brown terror has ! become systematic and increases j daily. Victims are so numerous that they ' cannot be hidden. ' Many thousands are limping in the j streets with their backs raw and their | heads bandaged, while their faces are i scarred and bones and teeth broken. I These prove the horrors of the brown j terror.

The Brown Shirts even over-ride the judiciary; for example, a judge who dismissed a charge against Socialists who defended themselves against the Nazis, was arrested and beaten by Brown Shirts. Instead of receiving redress he was suspended.

The Socialists and Communists taken to the Brown House undergo hideous tortures, many cases resulting in, death. Flying squads are terrorising villages and largo tracts of country, taking their opponents into forests, where they are beaten.
