Germany
The trial of the young Nazi officers in Germany has not been well managed if we may assume that by a strict disciplining of the witnesses it would have been possible to prevent the trial from becoming a means of poiscinous propaganda. Herr Hitler, having been called as a witness, made the Court his stage. He could mit have a spot-light turned upon him as happens at many of his public meetings, but lie contrived to deliver a theatrical harangue which has caused intense joy to his volatile followers. Democracy was evil ; the German pebpie were suffering from the disease of internationalism and pacifism; the Reparations must be denounced,
arid so on. If, he declared, those politicians who were responsible for the present position of Germany withstood the just demands of the new Germany, the day would come when "heads would roll in the sand."
