The diffenly of the German princes with respect to passports arose out of the incident at the Hague at which, Nazis declare, the Swastika was insulted. The Swástica was not flown at an International football match, and again, it is asserted, it was torn down by Dutchmen. All Swastiku flags flying in the Hagne are now being closely guarded, that German susceptibilitles will not be further outraged.
