The political police at Munich have announced that no foreign language may be used in telephone conversations between German cities, especially with or between foreign press representatives.

The political police, explaining this unusual order for the use of German only on trunk-line calls, declared that “in the present state of the country, the authorities must know what reports are going out.”
