Accused before this tribunal %
criminal organizations are certain
political and police organizations
which the evidence will show to have
been instruments OF cohesion in
planning and executing the crimes
I have detailed.
Except for late period when
some compulsory recruiting was
done in the s. s., membership In all
these militarized formations was
voluntary. The police organizations
were recruited from ardent partisans
who enlisted blindly to do the dirty
work the leaders planned. The
finding which we ask you to make
that these are criminal organiza-
tions, will subject members to pun
ishment to be hereafter determined
by appropriate tribunals, unless
some personal defense-such as be-
coming a member under threat to
person, or family, or inducement by
false representation, or the like
be established. =.
Accuse High Command.
We have also accused as criminal
organizations the high command
and the general staff of the Ger
man armed forces. We recognize
that to plan warfare is the busi-
ness Of professional soldiers in every
country. But it is one thing to plan
strategic moves in the event war
comes, and it Is another thing to
plot and intrigue to bring on that
war. We will prove the leaders OF
the German general staff and OF
the high command to have been

ropean politics, and 1t hopes this
trial will not be protracted by their
consideration. -.
It is only the plot and act Of ag-
gression which we charge to be
crimes.
Our position is that whatever
grievances nation may have, how
ever Objectionable 1t finds the status
quo, aggressive warfare is an illegal
means for settling those grievances
or for altering those conditions. II
may be that the Germany of the
1920s and 1930s faced desperate
problems, problems that would have
warranted the boldest measures
short of war.

ants did make aggressive war, wal
in violation of treaties. They die
attack and invade their neighbors
in order to effectuate a foreign
policy which they knew could moi
be accomplished by measures short

accuse or propose TO inquire.
The idea that a state, any more

Ordinarily I wouldn't mind writ
ing a guest column for my darling,
but today is the wrong day. I'm
worn out. I think I'm the biggest
fool Of shopper I ever heard of

to write a column about with no

like to compare values before I
buy anything.
Pooofff, I did that for SO long that
I didn't know what I wanted or why,
by the time started buying things.
First bought a brown hat-yards
and yards of brown hat and wore it
out Of the store. Every now and then
I would catch a glimpse of myself
reflected in store windows and
kept thinking about the little ship,
the Mayf1ower, and all the sails 1t
must have taken to get her across
the ocean. Though all of my fore
bears came over steerage, first class,
giving me no rightful claim to the
May1ower, I surely looked like her

Hideous but Practical.
bought, after careful considera-
ton, a flannel bathrobe that I've
grown to hate before I've ever had
it on. 1t isn9I homely; it's hideous,
but it's practical. It's wonder to
me that I'm not right at work at
this moment On a good practical
shroud. I'm that type.
Also, today, ran into a girl I'd
gone to school with and she said
that, my goodness, she never would
have known me if hadn't told her
who I was. I knew just what she
meant, too. My Mayfower sail was
inside out by that time, my nose was
crimson and my eyes watering from
the icy wind. 7 longed to ask her
for handout, or at least a nickel
for cup Of coffee before we parted
but figured she'd talk enough any,
way to any of our acquaintances she
met, without my doing that.
That was the shape in which
blew, pardon me, was blown, into the
syndicate Office to see If there was
any word from Henry. There was,
as you know.

deterrent to prevent a war where
the warmakers feel the chances Of
defeat to be negligible.
But the ultimate step in avoiding
periodic wars, which are tnevita-
BILE In system Of international law
lessness, is to make statesmen re-
sponsible to law. And let me make II
clear that while this law Is FIRST
applied against German aggressors
the law includes, and If it Is to serve
a useful purpose 1t must condemn
aggression by any other nation, in
cluding those which now sit here In
judgment.
No charity can disguise the fact
that forces which these defendants
represent. the forces that would ad-
vantage and delight in their acquit-
tai, are the darkest and most sin
lister forces in society-dictatorship
and oppression, maleyolence and
passion, militarism and lawlessness
These are the things that stand
in the dock shoulder to shoulder
with these prisoners.
The real complaining party at your
bar is civilization.

may have thought Of them as sol
diers, but soldiers know they were
politicians. We ask that the gen.
eral stan and the high command
as defined in the indictment, be
condemned as q criminal group,
whose existence and tradition con-
stitute a standing menace to the
peace Of the world.
Among the nations which unite
in accusing these defendants the
United States Is perhaps In posi-
ton to be the most dispassionate,
for having sustained the least In
jury, it is perhaps the least animated
by vengeance. But while the
United States is not first in rancor
it is not second in determination
that the forces Of law and order be
made equal to the task Of dealing
with such international lawlessness
as have recited here.
War Is No Longer Local.
The American dream of a peace
and plenty economy, as well as the
hopes Of other nations, can never
be fulfilled If those nations are in
volved in a war every generation SO
vast and devastating as to crush
the generation that fights and bur-
den the generation that follows. But
experience has shown that wars are
no longer local. All modern wars
become world wars eventually. And
none of the big nations at least can
stay out.

fered only in the event the war is
lost, will probably not be sufficient

men, often my countrymen. -.
Civilized usage and conventions
to which Germany was a party had
prescribed certain immunities for
civilian populations unfortunate
enough to dwell in lands overrun
by hostile armies. The German oc-
cupation forces, controlled or COM
manded by men on trial before
you, committed a long series of
outrages against the inhabitants of
occupied territory that would be in
credible except for captured orders
and reports showing the fidelity
with which these orders were exc

Would Weaken Neighbors.
The Nazi purpose was to leave
Germany's neighbors so weakened
that even If she should eventually
lose the war she would still be the
most powerful nation in Europe.
Against this background we must
view the plan for ruthless warfare,
which means plan for the COM
mission Of war crimes and crimes
against humanity. =.
Perhaps the deportation to slave
labor was the most horrible and
extensive slaving operation in his
tory. On few other subjects is our
evidence so abundant or so dam
aging.
The treatment of these slave Ia
porerS was stated IN general terms,
not difficult to translate into con-
crete deprivations, in q letter to the
Defendant Rosenberg from the De-
fendant Sauckel, which stated:
"All the men (prisoners Of war

be fed, sheltered and treated in such
way as to exploit them to the high
est possible extent at the lowest con-
ceivable degree of expenditure.
In pursuance of the Nazi plan

TAR HEELS MEET

RALEIGH, April o. R ALI
four Ration League teams will see
action tomorrow to highlight one
of the busiest weekends of the
spring sports season for colleges
hereabouts.
North Cardinals Tar Heels, cur
rently leading the Ration League
baseball circuit with two wins
against no losses, will meet the
May Pre-Flight Cloudbusters at
Chapel Hill, while Dukes Blue
Devils will make their 1915 league
debut against States second place
Red Terrors in game carded
for Doak Field here.
The Tar Heels hold two victories
over State, while the Terrors have
held a jinx over the Pre-Flight
Cadets for four straight wins in
the most heated series of current
league play. Duke, with a young
and inexperienced team, still must
be accounted for and tomorrow's
action will have a decided bear
ing on league standings.
State, meanwhile, can easily
move into the league leadership
next week. After tonorrow's Duke
game, the Terrors meet Carolina
here Monday in a playoff of
game postponed twice in recent
weeks. In that game, Coach Beat
tie Feathers lads will be out for
revenge and 1aready are printing
to take the Tar Heels to the clean
ers.
States pitching choice against
Duke tomorrow is Lefty Bill Rig
gan, the lad who handed Pre-
Flight three of the four defeats
by the Terrors. Veteran Duke
Coach Jack Coombs had not in
dictated his hurting choice.
In other sports, Cardinals track
