The Nuremberg Verdict Is A Beginning
(The Denver POSt)

There surprise, only sober satisfaction, in the death sentences awarded the fallen masters of Europe Nor could pity be felt for these craven and haggard men who SloShed continent with the blood Of nno- cents In their lfemes they have sought to exnguish the commonest principles of humanity; the gaoWs they will be dedicated strengthening of those prin- ciples.
 We have not forgotten Warsaw, Ldice and Belsen- but this riddance aims beyond retrbutiOn. If 1t simple punishment of individuals sought in the crimes trial, it could have been had swiftly and with no loss of justice It would not have required ten months and all the elaborate, fudress procedure of Nuremberg.
 Nuremberg was planned not for us of the generation which brought these monsters to justice; it planned for history It designed effort to fix firmly the laws of mankind the criminal nature of planning and Waglng aggressive war.
 It is widely argued that such princpl is not sound
 that there is precedent for holding individuals sponsble for the crimes of government; that, indeed there substantial basis in international law for holding aggressive crime; that the victor will a ways judge the vanquished regardless of rights and wrongs thus the crime will be weakness rather than aggresson) that facing the certainty of punishment if defeated, beligerents will go to any lengths of inhu- manlty to conquer etc.
 There is weighty of truth to this. As basis for judgment, the tribunal noted that Germany signatory of the Kellogg Briand pact of 1928 which promised outawry of was instrument of national policy in the settlement of which did not make crime. general body of opinion holds aggressive this principle not to be found in any ratified treaty The KelloggBriand treaty itself it could be pointed out has been outed repeatedly to have lost it's binding power, if it ever had any.
 Justice Robert H. Jackson in foreword to the book 'The Nuremberg Trial and Aggressive War;" by Shel- don Gueck argues that tho there may be legal customary basis for punshng aggressor, "our day has it's right to institute customs That is remark able departure from traditional principle of law condemning post facto punishments.
 Legal arguments on these points may go and on but little sympathy will be lost the convicted Nazs Their lives and freedom already forfeit other counts. The Severest penalties theirs common criminal grounds and do not depend the aggressive indictment Each of the condemned men-wth the exception of Rudolf Hess who escaped with his mser- able lfe-s convicted either of crimes against human ity of violations of the laws customs of Almost all, in fact convicted of both these charges
 And, even tho there vii be long and learned argu- ment the legality of the aggressive convictions the Nuremberg verdict stands starting point for new conception in the law of nations.
 Planning preparing, initiating waging aggres- sve war" henceforth is crime for which nation and more important, its individual leaders may be held answerabe The rulers of the world longer face only the judgment of the hereafter.
