A public call for action against the “misuse of freedom of opinion” by the extremist Deutsche National and Soldaten Zeitung was issued here today by a group of 57 scientists, writers, poets and theologians. The appeal was addressed to leaders of Parliamentary groups, trade unions and churches.
The Press Council welcomed the appeal and said the 57 signers had long fought against the Soldaten Zeitung for its misuse of freedom. The Soldaten Zeitung was denounced in Parliament earlier this year as viciously anti-Semitic.
