ASSAILED IN BERLIN.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, September THE propa-
ganda ministry disclosed today that
DR.. Hans Luther. German Ambassa-
dor at Washington, has been instruct
ed to protest the dismissal at New
York yesterday of charges Of unlaw-
full assembly against five men arrested
in the recent steamship Bremen Incl
dent.
The protest was decided upon after
full report Of Magistrate Louis D.
Brodsky's action had reached the
foreign Office
New York dispatches relating the
release of the five men superseded
other news in afternoon newspapers,
but Magistrate Brodsky's remarks in
giving his decision were not published.
Decision Held Astounding"
Der Angriff, organ Of Propaganda
Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels. char
acterized the decision as astounding
for which mo descriptive words can
be found" The propaganda ministry
spokesman said that this expressed
the ministry's feeling.
The decision was "a curious con-
tradiction." the newspaper declared,
in view of the recent American pro-
test TO Moscow against Communist
activities in the United States.
Respect for the flag" the news
paper continued. lis fundamental in
international relations. When such
an infamous action as the Bremen in
cident remains unpunished. then il
is more than a curious contradiction
between the American protest In
Moscow and the freedom of this Boil
shevist propaganda in an American
harbor.
1T further signified that Judge OF
country which demands that its
flag be respected in a similar case
concerning another flag overlooks this
principle"
Der Angriff, in conclusion, asserted
that the Bremen incident was de-
liberately planned to trouble German
American relations.

Rome Expects Plan
Drawn by S Potuers
To Be Unacceptable.
BY the Associated Press.


ROME, September 7.-Reliable
sources here indicated today that
Italy expects from the Five-Power
Committee at Geneva, dealing with
the Ethiopian dispute, COM
promise offer which she will be un-
able to accept.
She feels, particularly, according to
these sources, that the commission
will offer a compromise tending to in
crease British and French influence
and concessions in Ethiopia to the det-
riment of Italy.
The newspaper II Messaggero, fol-
lowing out this line, said today:
I'VE will not be surprised II from
the Five-PoWer Commission comes a
proposal which will be unacceptable,
or worse still a compromise solution
injuring the preconstituted rights Of
Italy for the benefit particularly of one
or two Western powers signatory to
the tri-power treaty. (The tri-power
treaty of 1906 dealing with Ethiopia
was signed by Italy, France and Great
Britain)
THAT country would therefore
draw the greatest profit possible from
the effort made by Italy to put order
into Ethiopian affairs
New Conference Denied.
A government spokesman said re-
ports that Italy was willing to ac-
cept another tri-partite conference at
Stresa in an effort to solve the East
African crisis were without founda-

service in East Africa.
With the announcement Of these
indemnities, the government proudly
made known that sanitary measures

to 90.
lib Deaths in Africa.
A government announcement re-
called that of the lib deaths among
about 10000 workmen sent to East
Africa, most were caused by heat and
suffocation. and not by the tropical
diseases which the government con-
tended it had virtually conquered by
the tremendous sanitary engineering
preparations it has devised.
Similarly, the government pointed
to low casualty list among the mill
tary forces now reaching 100000 men
sent from Italy as proof of the effec-
tiveness of Italy's far-reaching sani-
tary preparations for an East African
campaign.

NAz|S TO PROTEST
JUDGES REMARKS
IN BREMEN RULING
Luther Will Deliver Message
to State Department
Today.
"PIRACY" REFERENCE
IN DECISION HIT
Berlin Papers Assail Brodsky's
Comment and See Inconsistency
in U. S. Protest to Soviet.

By the Associated Press.
DR. Hans Luther, the German Am
baSsador, will protest formally at
noon today to the State Department
against statements made by Magis-
trate Louis B. Brodsky of New York
City in dismissing charges against
five men charged with having torn
the Nazi flag from the liner Bremen
on July 26.
Embassy officials said the Ambassa-
dor would protest under instructions
from the foreign Office in Berlin.
Reference 10 Piracy"
Brodsky likened the display Of the
Nazi flag on the Bremen with "the
same sinister implication as pirate
ship sailing defiantly into the harbor
Of a nation, one Of whose ships it had
just scuttled. with the black flag of
piracy proudly flying aloft"
When the German government pro-
tested against the insult to that ma
tion's emblem, the State Department
informed the embassy that every pre-
caution had been taken by New York
police to guard against any disturb
ance at the docks, and that the epi-
sode had occurred largely because of
lack Of cooperation with police by
the steamship line officials.
Fair Trials Promised.
The department assured the Ger
man government. however, that the
men charged with tearing the fac
from the liner would be given fair
trials and punished if found guilty.
German Embassy officials said the
Ambassador had received instructions
from Berlin to make emphatic protest
against Brodsky's declaration that the
disturbance on board the Bremen was
provoked by this Haunting Of an en-
blem to those who regarded 1t as q
defiant challenge to society"
Other statements also were consid-
cred highly Objectionable to the Ger
man government.
