Spiritual Neutrality
IsDemanded by
Hitler Paper
Belgium and Switzerland
Particularly Criticized
In Wornine Neutruls
BY the Associated Press.


BERLIN. Feb. 17.-Neutral ma
tions must be neutral In spirit as
well as In policy. Adolf Hitler's
newspaper declared In an editorial
published today, and added that
"the German people never will for
get any one who refuses this mod
crate demand"
The voelkischer Beobachter sharp
ly criticized Belgium and Switzer-
land, particularly. and asserted neu-
trality means, more than ''renunci-
alton Of direct warlike acts" or Zip
service for oficial usage"
I'VE believe that neutrals are
obliged to record war events and
the attitude Of belligerent nations
at.~least effectively" the newspaper
said In developing a theme first ex-
pressed by Propaganda Minister
Paul Joseph Goebbels last week.
Enemies Claims Reproduced.
"Under the protective cloak Of
democratic freedom Of opinion p"
the newspaper added, "the views,
acts and aims Of q German nation
Of S0.0000 900 Intentionally are sup
pressed or misrepresented. but the
claims of her opponents are repro
duced to the greatest extent and
supported"
The newspaper said Belgian citi-
zens are making propaganda for
Belgium's participation In the war"
by writing from Brussels for French
newspapers. It also criticized the
vulgar scolding" of 'foreigners
speaking high German In Bern,
Switzerland.
1T Is only q step from these
symptomatic occurrences to- actual
violation of neutrality" Hitler's
organ concluded. Here lies the
danger which forces us to the most
careful watchfulness - Cham
berlain and Daladier can hope to
win the war only If they are sue
cessful in squeezing some Of the neu-
trails into the battlefront
that places on the neutrals a tre-
mendous responsibility of which
they do not seem to be altogether
conscious today"
Norway Singled Out.
The Boersen Zeitung singled out
Norway for special attention in the
German press lecture to neutrals on
impartiality.
Norwegian newspapers" 1t said
recently have adopted An attitude
encouraging England to further vio-
lation of international rights. Nor
wegian papers in presenting and
formulating public opinion have
cast suspicion on the character OF
their country's neutrality"
Neutrals should understand, II
added, that England recognizes
nothing except its business interests
and respects no rights as superior to
its own despotism."
