The Czech Government last night dissolved the local Foreign Press Association in what was seen as a move to permit exclusion of a Netherlands correspondent deemed offensive by the Reich authorities. The action was reportedly the result of pressure from Berlin. The correspondent, M. Alletrino, is well known here for his democratic views and his dispatches have resulted in repeated representations by the German Government. Czech officials tried to get Alletrino to resign but he refused.
