Berlin Protest Over Prager Lynching Debate in Reichstag
Berlin protests after the Prager lynching in Collinsville prompts calls in Washington for safeguards. Germany accuses the U S of fanning anti German sentiment while noting Illinois laws may not fully address such acts. The Swiss minister reports the case and urges progress, as Privy Councillor Simons discusses further incidents involving German subjects.
Swiss Legation Denies It Hi
No complaint from Germany against the lynching of Prager has reached the State Department and the Swiss Legation says nothing has been renewed on the case. The Swiss minister offered funeral expenses, but the State Department says he was voting for relatives, not for the German government. The Federal government has no authority to act against the lynchers, though the Attorney General showed interest. Officials cited the case as a warning for anti sedition laws, hastening pending legislation in Congress.
