LEGALISED MURDER
A GERMAN PROPOSAL. PAINLESS EXECUTION OP LUNATICS. Pm* AMMifttioo—By Telegraph—Copyright BERLIN", September 8. A proposal to ease the economic situation in Germany by killing the incurably insane was made the subject of an article in a leading criminal law journal, the Strafrechts-Zeitung. It states that there are 834,000 insane persons in Germany, of whom at least one-half are incurable. These should be painlessly executed by the asylum surgeons. The article suggests that permits for the executions should be granted on the application of the relatives after a thorough investigation by a highly specialised court.—A. and N.Z. Cable.
