Mr. Piratin
asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs what decision has now been arrived at by the Allied Council in Austria concerning the newspaper "Alpenruf" of Graz; and what steps have been taken to prevent the newspaper disseminating anti-semitic propaganda.
Mr. Bevin
The Allied Council meeting on 27th May decided to send a letter to the editor of the "Alpenruf" warning him that he must abide by the Allied Council decision of 1st October, 1945, of "The Democratic Press in Austria," and that stricter sanctions would be imposed if he committed any further violation of this decision. Since the decision of 1945 includes a requirement that Nazi ideology must be combated, I think this answers also the second part of the Question.
