HUNDREDS OF ARRESTS BY GESTAPO FOLLOW MUNICH BOMB EXPLOSION

London, To-day.

MUNICH BOMB

NEUTRAL SOURCES report "hundreds of arrests by THREE

the Gestapo" in connection with the Munich bombing. The people have been warned not to talk about them and are frightened to even dis- cuss the bombing.

The Nazi press continues to try and put the blame on Britain, and, in the absence of facts, tries to bols- ter up this case with quotations from the speeches of Mr. Chamberlain and other state- smen who have expressed a dislike of the Nazi regime.

At the same time, they try to put the best face on the bombing by say- ing that, after all, it was really to Germany's advantage!

That neutrals are not in the slight- est convinced by German attempts to blame Britain for the Munich bomb- ing is shown by the most outspoken comment of the Norwegian newspaper "Morgenbladet."

ABSURD SUGGESTION

The paper says that if normal con- siderations guided the German press, the suggestion that British terrorists could penetrate Germany's thousands of lines, find their way into Munich and set up their bomb at the exact spot where Hitler was going to speak would at once be absurd.

If that had actually been the case, Germany would have nothing else to do with its secret police, the most numerous in the world, but to sack it. Himmler, head of the Gestapo, would be put on the scrap heap. Reuter.
