PRESSURE ON PORTUGAL
ACTIVITY BY GESTAPO AGENTS. Extreme pressure is being put on Portugal by Germany, in an effort to persuade her to join the “European new order” and repudiate her alliance with Great Britain, states “Zealandia,” the Roman Catholic newspaper. With the flood of refugees from Nazi-occu-pied Europe, Gestapo agents have arrived in Portugal, and the German colony there now equals the British colony in size. To foster cultural relations with Portugal, Germany has established Portuguese cultural centres in German cities, and offers Portuguese as an optional foreign language in schools. The Portuguese Government remains pro-British, but the Germans are hinting that the president of the country 'Should “visit” Germany, as so many rulers of countries now overrun have done in the past.
