President Roosevelt Says U. S. Will Demand
Post-War Puni3hment of Nazi Criminals
WASHINGTON (WNS)—Presi-
dent Roosevelt declared this week
that the United States would de-
mand the surrender of the Nazi
leaders who are responsible for
the mass executions and other
acts of barbarism against the
civilian populations of Nazi-occu-
pied countries to the United Na-
tions for just punishment at the
end of the war.
"It is our intention," the Presi-
dent said in an official statement,
"that just and sure punishment
be meted out to the ring-leaders
responsible for the organized mur-
der of thousands of innocent per-
sons and the commission of atroc-
ities which have violated every
tenet of the Christian faith."
At the same time Mr. Roosevelt
said that the United States would
join with Great Britain and other
allied nations in establishing a
United States Commission for the
investigation of "war crimes."
This body will sift through all
available evidence to determine
guilty individuals. Announcement
of the formation of the commission
was made simultaneously in Lon-
don by Viscount Simon, the Lord
Chancellor.
To prevent the exploitation of
his statement by Nazi propagan-
dists for political purposes in
Germany, the president stressed
