BARBARITY AND ATROCITY
ARCHBISHOP INDICTS NAZI REGIME Recd. 6.30 p.m. Rugby, March 14. “A horror unprecedented in the whole history of the world. A blood bath on a gigantic scale, to which no parallel can be found.” In these words the Archbishop of York, speaking at Leeds, indicted the Nazi regime of barbarity and atrocity. Dr. Garbett said that in every country occupied by the Nazis there was oppression and brutality and wherever the crooked cross went there were not only the four dread Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, but a fifth, who carried instruments of torture. The persecution of the Jews made it stand by itself in a long history of cruelty and tyranny; it was a deliberate policy of extermination directed against not a nation, but a whole race. "Let the German people know what is being done in their name, and let them also be told that sure retribution awaits not only the master criminals who ordered these horrors, but also their brutal underlings who are carrying them out, often apparently with zest.” he added. —8.0.W.
