The Swiss Government informed the Swedish Foreign Ministry today that it has issued a ban on the entry to Switzerland of Einar Aberg, notorious Swedish anti-Semite. The action is especially significant in view of the existing agreement between Sweden and Switzerland permitting the entry of nationals from either state without visas.
The Swiss postal and customs authorities have meanwhile issued orders that all anti-Semitic literature being sent to Switzerland from abroad be detained. The decision, although taken following an inundation of anti-Semitic literature amanating from Sweden, also covers anti-Jewish literature sent here from all overseas points.
