TRIAL OF MAJOR WAR CRIMINALS
RUSSIANS DEMAND MOVE TO BERLIN Aectl. 11.25 p.m. London, Sept. 20. A sudden disagreement, between the United Nations on where Goering, Ribbentrop and the other 22 major war criminals are to be tried has again postponed the trial, reports the Berlin correspondent o£ the "Daily Express.” The new delay has been caused by the Russians, who had demanded that the trial should begin in Berlin and should then, if necessary, be moved to Nuremberg. They matte this demand recently alter the Americans, in whose zone the trial was to take place, had made all preparations for it at Nuremberg.
British, American and French representatives refused at first to agree but finally gave way. The Americans felt bitter about all their wasted labour at Nuremberg, n the Russians wanted the trials in Bet Im, they said, they could make arrangements themselves —find a suitable courtroom and accommodation lor judges, counsel, witnesses, accused and newspaper men in blitzed Berlin and provide an intricate system ot interpreting the proceedings in four languages. The Russians thus far have made no reply.
