CLIFTON AVENUE - CINCINNATI 20, 01110 DETROIT JEWISH CHRONICLE and The Legal Chronicle Massacres of Jews Admitted by Nazis STOCKHOLM (WNS) — The German Ministry of Propaganda has openly admitted the mass- killing of Jews in gas chambers in Poland and the massacre of Jewish women and children by Gestapo troops, according to re- ports carried in the Swedish, press. It is believed here that the purpose of that line of Nazi propaganda is to impress the German people with the fact that it can hope for no mercy from the Allies.

State Department and the British Foreign Office were finally pressured into making clear-cut statements that Asis crimes against their own na- tionals, including the Jewish mi- norities, would be published, it was evident that it is going to be a stiff fight to get "diplomatic niceties" discarded by the United Nations War Crimes Commission and replaced with realistic "un- nice" retribution for murderers. Even now, despite the obvious- ness of the failure to return out- spoken Herbert C. Pell to Lon- don an American representative on the Commission, the State Department refuses to comment on the possibility of "rehiring" him when the Congressional ap- propriations are granted. Pell's services were dispensed with be- cause there wasn't any money to pay him, the State Depart- ment said. But Pell told a dif- ferent story, and the fact that he did tell his story was par- tially responsible for the subse- quent pledge to punish German leaders and their henchmen for crimes against German Jews. For one thing, Pell was willing to work for a dollar year. Pell said he had been prevented from continuing his work on the Com- mission because some officials in Washington were dissatisfied with his demand that the Germans be punished for their crimes against their own nations. Such a course was called contrary to inter- nation law, on the .theory that what a country does to its peo- ple is its own business. Pell felt it was not the German's own business to murder its people. Every Yiddish and Anglo-Jew- ish publication, as well as the general press, should feature a box with the following message: "Stay away from Miami Beach, Fla.; Lake Placid, N. Y.; Hot Springs, Ark.; Atlantic City, N. J.; and Asheville, N. C.— These are rest and reallocation centers for returnees from com- bat areas" . . .

For almost a week there had been heated questions from re- porters regarding Pell's dismissal and its implications. All had been sidestepped by Acting Secretary Joseph C. Grew, The (lay after the statements by Richard Law and Bill O'Dwyer, Grew called a special press conference and read a two-page statement "wel- coming" the public discussion of the punishment of war criminals. Previously he had tried to ward off questions as "threats to se- curity". The barrage followed.

Grew and his assistants left the press conference room for a quarter of an hour. On his re- turn, Grew told reporters to insert the words "wherever com- mitted" after the words "includ- ing offenses," so that the state- ment read "including offenses wherever committed against the rules of war and against minority elements, Jewish and other groups, and individuals." It was a hard fight—and it's not nearly won yet. The belated interest being displayed by Con- gress may mean a firm policy by the United States, but Congress will continue to he interested only as long as the American people demonstrate their stand on the question of war criminals. The statements by the United States and Great Britain must now be fellowed up by action by the United Nations War Crimes Commission, and our delegates on the Commission Play important parts.
