the investigation of war crimes is ac-
cumulating evidence in London and

of Germany, Italy and Japan. The
United States Commissioner, Herbert
C. PelI, former Minister to Portugal
and Hungary, is going to London to
study the file.
President Roosevelt has announced
the Allied intention to punish agents
Of the Axis powers who have perpe-

innocent victims"
One such crime was the slaughter
Of the inhabitants of Lidice and the

tapo policeman, Heinrich Heydrich.
Many other atrocities have been
charged against the Germans, par
ticularly by the Russians.
Urged To Refuse Refuge
The japanese have been accused of
brutalities, and apparently there are
charges against the Fascists of Mus
solini, the Americans, the British and
the Russians have asked the neu-
trail countries to refuse them all
refuge
After the first World War, the Al
lies called for the trial of more than
300 Germans accused of war crimes.
This time, President Roosevelt has
said, "The number of persons eventu-
ally found guilty will undoubtedly be
extremely small compared to the total
enemy populations"
at is our intention" he explained,
that just and sure punishment shall
be melted out to the ring leaders re-
sponsible for the organized murder of
thousands of innocent persons and the
commission of atrocities which have
violated every tenet of the Christian
faith"
Some OF Problems Cited
Here are some of the problems:
Where will the trials take place?
President Roosevelt said the cul-
prits shall have to stand in courts of
law in the very countries in which
they are now depressing and answer
for their acts"
When are they to be tried?
After the end of hostilities, but
whether that means soon after the
armistice or after the peace treaties
are signed is pending question.
Who shall try the criminals, civil
or military courts?
That is another question which can
not yet be answered. In fact, one of
the greatest problems is that of pro-
cedure-who shall be the judges, the
juries, the prosecutors, the defense at
torneys?
Before the culprits can be brought
to trial, they must, of course, be APP
pretended. Germany, after World
War |, refused to surrender those de-
manded by the Allies.
The list of more than 800 names
was headed by Crown Prince Fredcr-
lex Wilhelm and several other sons of
the Kaiser and others high in politics,
the nobility and the military caste.
The Allies demanded that these men
be delivered up for trial.
In January, 1920, the German gov
eminent declared it was impossible to
give up the culprits, refused to extra
dite them, but agreed to try them in
Germany
Allies Accept Proposal
The Allies accepted the proposal to
try the culprits at Leipzig, but re-
served the right to pass on the dccis-
ion. Of those who had not fed to
Switzerland, the Allied powers named
forty-six for trial, headed by Prince
Ernst of SaXony and a General Won
Bulow.
The trials began before the Leipzig
Supreme Court in May, 1921, and
petered out in two months. Five were
convicted of charges involving i'll
treatment of British war prisoners,
ordering the massacre of French pris-
oners and sinking the British hospital
ship, Llandovery Castle. Their SEN
fences ranged from six months to four
years imprisonment The other five
were acquitted.
In August, 1922, the Council of Am
bassadors at Paris told Germany that
the Leipzig court was lax, that the
Allies would deal with the war crimi-
malls and would sentence them by de-
fault.
But nothing more was done about
it.
The United Nations are hoping to
avoid repetition Of that fasco
