Plea For Open Road
To Chungking
LONDON, Aug. 26 (Reuter)—A sharp attack on Switzerland for the way the Swiss Press is covering the air warfare appears in the German paper, "Voelkischer Beobachter," which, according to the Bremen radio, objects to a despatch from London minimising the damage done by German air raids.
The "Beobachter” declares that the publication of such stories by the Swiss Preu might well prove a danger to their own country.
