U.S. Court Urged Not To “Tamper” With Sentences On Japanese
(10 a.m.) WASHINGTON, Dec. 16. The Solicitor-General of the United States, Mr. Philip Perlman, in a brief filed with the United States Supreme Court today, in advance of oral arguments. asked the court not “to tamper’’ with the International Tribunal which sentenced General Tojo and six other higher Japanese war leaders to death. He cited the Government’s “deep concern lest irreparable damage be done” if the court “abrogates” to itself power to review the actions of the Tokyo tribunal.
Mr. Perlman said that such a move not only would be a blow to peaceful and judicial settlements of international disputes and the continued growth of world law, but other co-operative endeavours, such as the United Nations.
