AXIS TREATMENT OF PRISONERS
(Rec. 7 p.m.) LONDON, October 22. Vichy radio, quoting a dispatch from Stockholm, said the Axis powers intend to denounce the Geneva Convention of 1864, including the provisions regarding Red Cross services and the provisions for the treatment of war prisoners. The German High Command announced: “British fighter-bombers in daylight on Tuesday attacked a clearly-marked German Red Cross station on the North African front and destroyed the operation tent, causing casualties to patients and ambulance members. The British are thus deliberately continuing their violations of international law regardless of the most elementary rales of humanitarianism. The High Command must conclude that Britain no longer wishes to maintain the Geneva Convention.”
