OPPOSING COMMUNISM
STERN GERMAN MEASURES IMPRISONED LEADERS BERLIN. Dec. 12 General Goering, addressing 300 diplomats and representatives of the foreign press on the subject of Germany's defence against Communism, stated that Communism was still a danger. There was a foreign agitation for tho release of Ernst Thaelmann, leader of the German Communists, and Herr Torgler, acquitted at the Reichstag fire trial but not since released, but it was better that such people should he shut up than that they should imperil a single loyal member of the State. Concentration camps would continue while there were enemies of the State, General Goering added. No one was ill-treated, although the camps were not sanatoria.
General Goering. described as a tissue of lies the alleged confession of Karl Ernst, the Storm Trooper who was executed on June 30, regarding the burning of the Reichstag.
