But we have no opportunity to object to it. The Tribunal had no opportunity to rule upon it. Of course, we would have objected. The difficulty is that the Tribunal loses control of these proceedings if the defendant, in a case of this kind, where we all know propaganda is one of the purposes of the defendant, is permitted to put his propaganda in, and then we have to meet it afterwards. I really feel that the United States is deprived of the opportunity of the technique of cross-examination if this is the procedure.
Every country keeps certain things secret.
Certainly it would be much wiser to ignore a statement of that sort. But as to the general rule, the Tribunal will now consider the matter. Let me say that I agree with your Honour that as far as the United States is concerned we are not worried by anything the witness can say about it - and we expected plenty. It does seem to me that this is the beginning of this trial getting out of hand, if I may say so, if we do not have control of this situation. I trust the Tribunal will pardon my earnestness in presenting this.
