So their wire read: Dear Mrs.

Unless to the very meaning of the word crime the political and military leaders of the Third Reich are guilty of the most heinous crime ever recorded the scroll of civilization. And unless they every one are tried and punished a manner commensurate with the awful pain and damage they have caused the other peoples of the world. might well rip up and scatter the winds the criminal codes by which strive to rlan tain respect for law and order in lands For, there is to be justice anywhere it must not palsy at the feet of the greatest criminals of them all
 Deliberately and with full malice aforethought, the German General Staff and the scurvy crew that headed the Third Reich doomed millions of men, women and children to die. As unconcernedy one would season an egg, they mapped pattern of European destruction that spared nothing in the path of their ambitions.
 The Enquirer has said that the German General Staff should be executed because it has proved itself to be too dangerous threat to the peace and well being of the world to remain alive. Had all the professional makers with spiked helmets been executed after World War l. it might have saved the world this terrible calamity. We learned, at fearful price, that the German General Staff hardly paused in it's planning for after the last armistice To what consideration these scientists at murder entitled from world that wants to live in peace and comfort and twice within generation has had to pay dearly in lives and wealth to avert enslave ment behind the German chariot?
 None, we say. And think every American family that has contributed its flesh and blood the grim task of halting German aggression will agree. Let the trials begin immediately And let them proceed in full cognzance of the millions already murdered on the altar of German military ambition and the millions who will be murdered in years to come if shrink from our civilized duty now.
