CRUELTY A NAZI POLICY Chief United States Prosecutor Rob- ert H. Jackson, in criticizing the tactics of defense counsel for Nazi leaders on trial ie not concerned with Nazi philosophy and aeserte that the United Nations “are ~ charging the murder of four million to five million Jews.” The calculated and planned brutality Of the Nazi leaders probably reached its moet atrocious expression in the campaign te persecute the Jews but it was also put inte practice in the Eastern campaign, where Russian soldiers were callously executed and where civilian populations - were horribly mistreated. e ‘The evidence adduced at Nuremberg ettablithed beyond doubt that these policies were deliberately adopted and ~~ that they represent a part of the Nazi pro- gram to dominate the world. + Ohief of Staff Wilhelm Keitel, in his attempted to explain the mas- Russian prisoners by reference to Mistreatmem of Germans in the East thie was stymied by the Russian prose- . whe produced a document showing Ketie! had approved the program be- the war with Russia got underway. Moreover, Keitel in response to a protest Yrom « German admiral, stated that he ap- proved the massacre of Russian prisoners saving that “this is a new war.” ity i RUSSIAN “SPY” ARRESTED There is little occasion for excitement in connection with the arrest of the Rus- san maval lieutenant in Portland, Oregon, on a charge of espionage. Certainly, the exeltement should not gather until further facts are revealed. The accused lieutenant, however, does not understand the United States if he believes his press release assertion that “this wifole thing is a build-up for political purposes” will have any influence upon the people of this country, In fact, it was hot necessary to make such a change in order to ask for a suspended judgment. In free countries, a defendant is presumed to be innocent until convicted. The Soviet Government requested the release of the lieutenant, on the ground that he was innocent, but this was denied coy the State Department, which pointed ~~-@ut that the ease was in the hands of the Mie first of its kind in the history of the “[Wation, in which an officer of a foreign “power has been prosecuted in peacetime, | indicates that there must be somethin t nate is 0 the indictment. erent, A just decision is one that is favor- able to us.

ESTABLISHING CITIZENSHIP _ Monroe’s qualified list of voters for the primaries to be held next month is the “cleanest” in the history of the county. At no other time has such ¢are been ex- ercised in registering voters as was the case in preparing the list. ; Surprise was expressed because few- jer Key Westers registered in the county than in the city last year, but therein lies the difference in the qualified lists. For ‘the city election ‘the only .ques- tion, so far as one’s citizenship was con- cerned, asked an applicant for registration. was, “Are you a citizen of the United) States?” If the question was answered. placed on the qualified list. But conditions, regarding citizenship, were different in the county. First ques- tion asked by Supervisor John England was, “Where were you’ born?” If your reply was‘that:you were born in a foreign country, then you had to produce your naturalization papers before you were per- mitted to register. As a result of that pro- cedure, it is estimated that from four to five hundred residents who registered in the city election did not qualify for the primaries. All of us who are good citizens con- sider the privilege of voting our greatest privilege, yet all of us who are fair-mind- ed assume the position that nobody, who does not comply with every requirement, should not be pegmitted to vote. If that was not our attitude, then our privilege would be vitiated by persons qualifying to vote who are not citizens of the United States, because the vote of one man, who has ‘the right to vote, is offset by the vote of another who-has not the right to vote. Registration in our city and county has tended to purify our ballot, but the purification in the city is not complete. Let us hope that, when the registration books are reopened ‘in the city, the estab- lishment of citizenship will be stricter than it was last year. A rule of conduct, whether religious or moral, must be certain in its terms and not subject to six or eight interpretations and applications. SIGNIFICANT The controversy between socialized medicine and private medicine has become explosive again. in Congress as committee SDepartment of Justice. The fact that it is | hearings get underway on the Wagner- Mutray compulsory health insurance bill before the Senate Committee of Education and Labor. Dr. Lowell ‘S. Goin of Los Angeles, past president of the California Medical Association, has expressed his views in advance of his appearance before the committee: He points out that, “In every nation where compulsory health insurance has been adopted, since it was first con- ceived in lock-step loving Germany. . .-. politics has played havoc with the pro- gress of medicine. “Every person who values his health. . Should . . . oppose this step toward bureaucratic regimentation . . . and sub- stitution of the state doctor for his family physician. “No matter what safeguards may be written into compulsory health insurance legislation, when government collects the money, and pays the bills, doctors, for all practical purposes, become government employes and the private practice of medicine will end.” What the doctor tells in three brief paragraphs is monumental in significance in a country which has proven that in- dividuiial initiative and endeavor are the inspiration for progress and accomplish- ment. ‘It may be unpopular doctrine but the }men who lead business usually have to | have more brains than the men who work | for them. COOPERATIVES DEFENDED Every once in a while one runs acr publicity, charging that cooperative mo ments are gradually undermining the basic economic conception of American .capital- ism. The House select committee on small business, which recently completed a study of the matter, reports that appre- ‘hension over danger to other economic forms.of business operation “can be utterly disregarded.” Moreover, that “substantial evidence’”’ shows the co-operative move- ment operating as a very successful means of combatting monopolistic concentration. As such, the report says, it is a very healthy addition to American economy. | |. affirmatively, and the applicant fulfilled. every other requirement, his name was, ing of his companion, Wamb:; gering, and the horsemen soon}, them. } overtook t! ten men, of whom the two who rode foremost Their. numbefs. attiounted =H seemed to be per- wank whose-countenance bore as| | little the. marks of self-denial, as| | his habit. i ted contempt The companion of ‘the. chureh' dignitary was a+man past forty,) thin, strong, tall, and muscular.
