The colonies fee not without their advocates in the British Isles and it might as well be said that the British Crown was not without its adherents in the colonies. “ After the surrender of Eora uornwanis, it ■was somewhat taken for granted that the cause of independence had been successful ly asserted. Thereafter, the colonies began the business of organizing a workable gov ernment, under a framework of legal ma* chinery that would forever preserve the rights of free men. The conception of liber ty and freedom, as it exists in the United States today, is a considerable advance over the ideals in the minds of the colonists and revolutionists. The Federal Government now owns about two thousand acres in and around York town, known as the Colonial National Monu ment. Special celebrations have been stag ed in connection with the surrender and that on the 150th anniversary, in 1931, was marked by the presence of a descendant of the British General who surrendered. In un veiling a bust of his ancestor, he said, “I feel that it would be as agreeable to him as it is delightful to me that a member of the family can be here today. War is behind, peace is in the future, let us hope, forever more.” This sentiment can be well recognized by the peoples of the English-speaking nations. There exists in this country a number of citizens who delight in twisting the British lion’s tail and there, likewise, exists in the I' British Islands some individuals who take delight in pulling the feathers of the Amer i ican eagle. Neither group represents the f fundamental feelings of the peoples of t^e nations and their friendship and solidarity has been cemented by joint participation in the two great world-wide m-s. If you hate work and admit it, at least „ ou’re honest. Of course there are those „who like it and they are beyond enlighten Death For 12 Top * Nazis The decision of the International Military Tribunal that twelve of the original twenty* four defendants indicted in the Nuremjaerg war crimes trial should die by hanging can not be objectively studied without reading the report of the Court itself. The trial of the high-ranking Nazis marks something of an epoch in the history of war fare and may, perhaps, set an example by which the victorious side, in any war, will attempt to take vengeance upon defeated enemies. The crimes charged against the Nazis de fendants included four counts, the first be ing a conspiracy to commit the three other crimes charged in the other counts. The second count was “crimes against the peace, namely, planning preparing, initiat ing or waging aggressive war.” This is something of a departure in the developing history of international affairs and hither to, it should be admitted, has not been con sidered a crime for which individuals should be executed after the war ends. Counts three and four, however, are more serious in their effect upon the guilt of in dividual defendants because they involve (1) “war crimes, namely: violations of the laws or customs of war” and (2) “crimes against humanity, namely: murder, exter mination, enslavement, deportation or other inhumane acts against any civilian popula tion, before or during the war; or persecu tion, political, racial or religious.” The third count, concerning war crimes, represents a justifiable cause for prosecution and punishment of those found guilty. It should be noted that eleven of the defen dants were found guilty on this count. Their execution represents no departure from the justified law of nations. The twelfth, Julius Streicher, was found guilty solely on count four, crimes against humanity. The Tribunal called his perse cution of Jews notorious and says that he infected the German mind with the virus of anti-Semitism and incited the German peo ple to active persecution. He called for the annihilation of the Jewish race and the evidence “makes it clear that he continually received information on the progress of the ‘final solution.'” Withtfre single exception of Streicher, the eleven defendants, sentenced to be hanged, WgF® fetffwj guijty pf war crimes and of Slime§ apifl§!

Fifty Duels Pending • Argentina is amazed at the shooting of former Senator Araya,. whieh^haanol, been explained in any public statement, and dis cussion of the matter in thfe Argentine Con gress has resulted in some fifty challenges for duels. We are too far 'away from the South American nation to attempt to pass judg ment on the shooting of the Senator, who had demanded art investigation of reported bribes in Connedtion with the granting of ex port licenses. Nevertheless, politics must be serious in a country that can present the spectacle of fifty duels pending. To Retain Our Souls ir A religious leader suggests that the Unit ed States may be facing its last opportunity to win “the soul of Europe’’; and that “the devils of hunger, cold, poverty, fear, despair, godlessness, unbelief and still others are ready to take possession” of the Continent.
