NEW LIGHT ON THE ACTIVI- TIES OF FRANCO'S PIRATES IN THE NORTH SEA IS LIKELY TO BE SHED AT THE TRIAL OF THE 14 PEOPLE-11 GERMANS. AND THREE DANES-ACCUSED · OF· SPYING.
Main charge is of having organis- ed a naval intelligence service in Denmark aimed at friendly foreign Powers.
Actually, the authorities believe that the spy ring was operating against Britain, but practised its efficiency by reporting on the move- ment of Spanish. and Russian ships trading with Republican ports in Spain
Information was wirelessed to Franco's fleet, whose subsequent movements were guided by the spies from their headquarters.
Observation posts, it is stat- ed, were set up in Copenhagen, Elsinore and Aarhus, Nyborg,
other places. Every Spanish and Russian steamer leaving port and sailing westward was reported to the rebel fleet,
IN SWEDEN, TOO
The spy ring, the police allege, had spread to Sweden, and was established in Stockholm, Gothen- burg and Malmo.
How successfully the system worked was shown not only in the sinking of, the Cantabria by the re- bel trawler Nadir, but also in the fact that a few days ago two Span- ish ships. "shadowed" in the Baltic sought shelter-one in Stockholm and the other Bergen, Norway.
One of the accused is a former German officer, Captain Horst von Pflugk-Harttung, who was impli cated in the murder of the Ger- man Socialists, Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg, and some years later in gun-running for the reactionary "Munch Corps" in Sweden.
For the latter escapade he was ex- pelled from Sweden. Afterwards he found refuge in Denmark, where he has since maintained himself, offiel- ally, as correspondent of the Berlin "Borsen Courier."
