NEW GERMAN LAWS.

PRUSSIAN CONSTITUTION ! AMENDED. j WIDESPREAD DISSATISFACTION. BERLIN, July 23. The new Chamber of Public Prosecutors, working in conjunction with the secret police, will operate in all the Prussian courts dealing •i with the constantly recurring at- ' tacks upon the police and Nazi r officials. The chamber has been set up to ensure speed in the conviction and execution of persons charged f under the new penal laws, l The Prussian Cabinet has amended the constitution by con- > ferring on the Premier the sole authority to pardon offenders. Under ' this regulation Captain von Goerf ing has already authorised Hcrr I Kerrl (Minister for Justice) to pardon offences between March 25 and " July 15, during the Nazi revolu--5 tion. ; The nature of the penal measures J is regarded as illustrating the seriousness of developments. A Nazi circular entitled "Our Enemies do not Rest" urges members to free themselves of subversive clement.? entering the storm troops as spies, in order to mislead them into the ill-treatment of opponents, leading to the "atrocity lies." Any Nazi participating in such activities will be imprisoned in a concentration camp. The Nazis must know tint every murder of a Nazi by a Marxist will be revisited tenfold upon the Marxist leaders. Therefore all important Nazis should refrain from 1 brutally attacking their opponents, ■ which is tantamount to a Jewish or Bolshevik outlook and unworthy of ! Hitler ism. British Comment. The Berlin correspondent of the "Sunday Times" says: "The panicky outburst exhibited in the Penal Bill is really due to fundamental differences between the Nazi leaders, some desiring the dissolution of the storm troops, ;.nd others, including Captain von Goering, opposing it, owing to the fear of revolution. Nevertheless the maintenance of the storm troops involves the danger of extremists taking the situation into their own hands. There is also widespread dissatisfaction over the delay in relieving unemployment. If the leaders' differences are intensified events of grave national importance are expected in the immediate future." The British United Press says that Captain von Goering has appointed Prince August Wilhelm a member of the new Prussian States Council. CROWDED PRISON CAMPS. USELESS TASKS OF VICTIMS. ] LONDON, July 23. The "Sunday Graphic" publishes : an article from its Hamburg corrie- j spondent, which reads: "The British ought to realise that we must have concentration camps for the communists and Jews because our prisons are full," said the Nazi commandant of the camp at Fullsbuettel, which is half a mile square, surrounded with electrified barbed wire fences, and armed guards. The camp is crowded with 12,000 prisoners, mostly Jews. The commandant added: "They have grown idle and wealthy at the expense of the Germans, and must now work and become usefu] citizens." The correspondent saw thousands sweating furiously in the rain over useless tasks, some digging a great ; hole and others refilling it, others . moving a great boulder hither and thither. 1 Meanwhile, their wives and women communists are employed 1 cooking and making Nazi uniforms. 1 The camp contains a garden in which flower beds make the form , of the swastika, which the prisoners j must water daily. They must also j attend lectures on the benefits of j Hitlerism. 1
