CONTEMPT OF COURT

II the courts OF the United States
really care what the public thinks about
them, 80 per cent of them will be pull
ing for a reversal of Missouri Judge
Thomas j. Roses decision finding the St.
Louis Post-Dispatch guilty of contempt
for criticizing Judge Rowe when he turn
ed politicians loose without a hearing.
They were charged with graft.
If Judge Rowe's decision is upheld,
the same reasoning may he used TO keep
all newspapers, everywhere, from criti-
Ching any court-no matter how corrupt
it may become.
The best way for the courts to pre-
vent contempt is to remain above re-
proach, not by trying to silence all crit
icism.
Where criticism is impossible, corrup-
ton always creeps in. 1t is wrong for a
newspaper to try to influence court
but so is it wrong for a court to try to
influence a newspaper. If either steps

THE GERMAN ALlBl
WON'T HOLD UP

"lf we hadn't, you would have.
So, in effect. Germnny's Foreign Min
lister Won Ribbentrop aibied the Nazl in
vasion of Norway.
The explanation is as full of holes as
a yard of mosquito netting.
The official German version explained
that Hitler'S troops went into Norway
April 9 because British troops left Eng
land April with orders to invade Nor
way Yet the whole world knows now
that German troops, disguised as tour
lists, were in Norway long before April
Moreover, Won Ribbentrop asserts that
the British "invasion' of Norway was to
be made with the full knowledge and
consent Of the Norwegian government.
Under international law. if that were
the case there would have been no in
vasion'. Norway merely would have been
joining the allies.
Beyond those facts lies the Wide-aS-
the-poles difference between Britain and
Germany-a difference the Germans
have never been able to understand. 1t is
not in the British character to invade a
neutral under circumstances such as
those now applying in Europe. Nor is
that statement necessarily tribute to
the British. They have no concern for
the neutras. Devil take the hindmost'
is the British slogan in wartime. But
the British guage world opinion better
than the Nazis-and they know invasion
of Norway would have turned the world
against them. They would not have
chanced it,
1t seems possible. though, that the
Germans think they are telling the truth
about the proposed British invasion of
Norway. 1t might have happened this
way-completely in keeping with the
devious methods of British diplomacy:
Britain, realizing the war was stale
mated on the Western Front and desiring
action that would use up German re-
sources at a faster pace, might have
fooled German secret agents into believ-
ing British invasion of Norway was i'm
minent If that were the case, the Ber-
lin government would move hastily to
forestall what they believed was the Brit
ish intention. They would-as they did
for some reason-send their own troops
into Norway. And the onus of aggres-
sion would be on Germany, while the in
tentions of the British would have been
carried through without disturbing
worldwide confidence in British integ-
rity.
Perhaps that is what happened. Per-
haps not Nobody will really know until
the war is over, if then. But it is the
only explanation for Germanys' alibi-
unless the Germans are Just plain lying.
