GERMAN JUSTICE
THE NAZI SYSTEM. BRITISH LAWYER'S ATTACK. THAELMANN’S TRIAL MENTIONED (United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) Received August 22, 11.25 a.in. BERLIN, Aug. 21.
A young London lawyer, Mr G. H. Bing, startled the Penal Conference by criticising Nazi justice. The delegates were discussing a German report on the methods of curtailing long drawn trials when Mr Bing interposed that the idea of giving a Judge the right to curtail speeches and to refuse to hear evidence in order to shorten a trial was entirely contrary to English ideas of justice. “We feel the proposal to curtail trials has been introduced to obtain internal sanction to the typo of trial favoured here. The trial of Thaelmann (the German Communist) is coming soon, but German justice will bo on trial also,” said Mr Ring. Amid a chorus of Nazi protests the President intervened. Ho said the speakers were not allowed to resort to irrelevant examples. In another section of the conference a French delegate denounced what he described as Nazi repression as exemplified by concentration camps. Dr Franck, head of the Academy of Jurists, later protested against international boycotting, which was just as much a menace to international juridicial peace as revolutionary war propaganda.
