ler's program outlined at a secret
meeting with Reichsmarshal Her
mann Goering, Grand Admiral
Erich Raeder and former diplomat
Konstantin Won Neurath-all three
among the 20 Nazi leaders on trial
on war crimes charges.
AS the trial entered it's second
week another case of shattered
nerves developed among the once
powerful "supermen" who stood be-
hind Hitler. Former Foreign Min
ister Joachim Won Ribbentrops S
memory has suffered" his defense
counsel declared. asking the help OF
two former German diplomats
Friedrich Gauss and Frauzvon Rim
telen-in defending the man who
had guided the Reich's foreign pol
icy. Ribbentrop appeared i'll and
haggard. He has been taking Sleep
ing drops, his counsel said.
The former Foreign Minister has
aged noticeably since the trial be-
gan last Tuesday. He looked i'll and
cupped his hand behind his ear
as though having difficulty in hear
ing. His counsel said Ribbentrop
was very anxious" about the trial
proceedings.
Prediction Reversed.
A prediction in Hitler's will
that he would solve the German
space problem no later than ls43-
1945'-was fulfilled, although not in
the way he had intended. In the
year Hitler had set as the dead =
line, his henchmen found their
leader probably dead and Germany
partitioned by occupation armies.
What the actual position would
be in the years l943-l945 no one
knows today" Hitler declared. TT
is certain. however, that we can
wait no longer. On one side. large
armed forces with the necessity of
securing the upkeep and aging of
the Nazi movement and of its lead
ers and on the other side the pros
pect of lower standards OF living
and drop in the birth rate leaves
us with no choice but to act.
If the Fuehrer is still living then
it will be his irrevocable decision
to solve the German space problem
no later than l943-1945."

vasion of Czechoslovakia as read by
Mr. Alderman said the conquest

the hope that division Of the spoils

The plan offered two ways to wipe
out the Czech state: Action after q
diplomatic crisis" or lightning &C
ton after an incident, for example
the assassination OF the German
Ambassador in Prague during ar
anti-German demonstration"
Three months before he opened
World War II. Hitler was quoted in
the minutes of another meeting kept
by his adjutant that conflict with
England would be ''life-and-death
struggle" Nevertheless, he pro-
ceeded at the meeting with plans tc
attack Poland, Belgium and tn.
Netherlands.
