disturbed by the fact that the Allied
governments wrote their law and
orsanized their tribunal after Ger
many had been defeated. Obviously,
If Germany had won, the Nuerr-
berg trials would not have been
held, at least with the same pris-
oners in the dock.
A victorious Hitler and scream
ing Goebbels might, rs an attempted
self justification before the bar OF
history, have put to trial some OF
the Allied leaders, although the
presumption Is that they, and their
fellow gangsters, would have deci-
mated their prisoners and decimated
them again, by summary execu-
tions, by confinement in concen-
tration camps, and by continued
satanic determination en- masse in
lethal gas chambers which would
have killed quickly without destroy
ing the value Of the hair, the fat,
the skin and other salvageable por-
tions of their victims bodies that
could be put to obscene uses.
Legal implications.
I am not disturbed by the deter
mination that preceded Nuremberg
or the legal implications that may
flow from 1t. During the World
War, some of the leaders of the
Allied Nations declared that at its
end the German Kaiser and many
Of his fellow criminals would be

propaganda at which Geobbels was
so expert, have been Nazis at heart.
Some newspapers had devoted an
unwarranted amount Of space to
Goerine's cowardly suicide and the
execution Of his fellows whom he
deserted In the end. A bare, grim
recital Of the facts was all that was

the Bureau of Reclamation and
about 20 proposed by the Corps Of
Engineers for inclusion in the uni
fed plan for the development Of
the Missouri River Basin would
have cost the Government at 1910

Elegance In Order.
Now is the time for butchers to
come OF the side streets, get out
OF the back of grocery stores, sweep
the sawdust Of the floor, and move
smack into the middle Of the FASH
ionable avenues and onto the choice,
exclusive corners. The commodity
the butcher has for sale is now an
expensive luxury, and deserves to be
sold in surroundings which befit it.
Human nature is such that when .
man purchases something . little
beyond his pocketbook he likes .
little elegance and atmosphere
thrown in as sort Of plasma for
his ailing wallet.
I would like to open butcher
shop and treat meat like the luxury
it Is. My shop would have display
windows guarded by heavy grill
work, and the decoration work
would be done by an artist. Severe.
Simple. But appealing. Perhaps 4

Inside my shop the showcases

Senator Robert Taft. In another
case would be . bracelet OF brisket,
with a genuine Calls liver clasp.
Alongside 1t, catching the light from

the room would come the dazzling
reflection from an emerald-cut hogs
jowl.
