"Shabby Treatment"

Scores of German "journalists," far outnumbering those of any other nationality, live in Great Britain, but relatively few have ever been seen at a press conference or been known to ask for an interview. British newspapers have long buzzed with reports that there are 500 Nazi agents in

Britain engaged in terrorizing refugees and, with threats of harm to relatives in Germany, coercing German-born servants in garrison centres to ferret out scraps of military information. One of the duties of these "journalists" is supposed to be to supply Berlin with the names, characteristics and political opinions of every German resident in Great Britain.

The expulsion of two men and a woman, officials of German organizations, soon followed. The Nazis struck back by booting out of Hamburg three British businessmen. Last week six more German agents were ordered to pack their bags. Adolf Hitler's newsorgan, Voelkischer Beobachter, fumed: "The

German mother country will not allow to go unanswered this shabby treatment of racial comrades." Germany promptly expelled an equal number of Britons, "for reasons," said the responsible official, "I presently am unable to mention."
