LEADING NAZIS
NOT YET ON LIST FOR PUNISHMENT
LONDON, September 25,
Hitler's fate after the defeat.of Germany has still not been decided, says the "Daily Mail." The Allied Governments are considering whether he will be tried as a political prisoner and banished, as was Napoleon, or face a military court for having violated the laws and customs of war.
The paper adds: "In spite of the emphatic declaration by the American Secretary of State, Mr. Hull, some days ago that Hitler's name was on the list of war criminals prepared by the Allied commission in London, his name is not there. Neither are the names of Goebbels, Himmler, and Goering. The commission has collected the names of 350 well-defined criminals who must, pay the. price for the tortures .they have inflicted on innocent peoples— but there is not one arch-criminal among them."
The "Daily Mai]" recalls that at the Moscow conference in November, 1942, the Governments of Britain, America, Russia, and China declared jointly that the German criminals would be punished by joint decision of the Allies.
