BRITAIN & GERMANY

EXPELLED JOURNALISTS. PROTEST IGNORED. United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright. BERLIN, August 13. All editions of the Angriff ignore the foreign Pre-ss Association's letter of protest to the remarks published by it. The association lias appointed a deputation to wait on Herr Funk, Secretary of Propaganda, and Herr Asehmann, head of the Foreign Office Press Department. in the hope of securing an explanation of recent accusations. The number of German visitors to England has not decreased, despite the Angriff’s warning against going there. BITTER GERMAN ATTACKS. PROTEST BY PRESS ASSOCIATION. INSULTS TO CORRESPONDENTS. United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright. LONDON, August 13. To combat the flood of bitter attacks on British and other correspondents, notably Mr Norman Ebbutt, representative of the Times in Berlin, who has been inundated with anonymous letters and telephone insults, the Foreign Press Association has written strongly to Dr. Goebbels and the newspaper Angriff rejecting the charge that its members, especially Mr Ebbutt, have been guilty of corrupt misrepresentation in reporting events or secret counter-revolutionary activity. The letter adds; “Not a single proof has been produced. Our members are highly concerned to learn how you propose to justify the charges, a continuance of which is bound to seriously jeopardise the favourable development of international relations.”
