WHIM-WHAM
{According to the Munich ‘"Neueste Nachrichten," the German Minister of Justice (Otto Thierack), has announced that 9,000 German judges are being sent to the front or the ‘war factories, in order to increase the authority of the remaining 5,000 judges.-Cable news item], Nw Thousand Nazi Judges go To help the Fuehrer fight the Foe; The Fuehrer now can claim with Pride That Justice fights upon his Side, Five thousand Judges stay behindEnough to implement the Kind Of Proclamations and the Like That pass for Justice in the Reich, The Justice of the Rubber Stamp, The Whip and Concentration Camp, What Duties are intended for This new-formed Legion of the Law? Will this Battalion of the Bench Be flung into a ro A Trench To learn-made human at the ao Bf How Sentences of Death are Nine Thousand learned Conscripts! Well Some may, for Ali that I can tell, Be upright Judges in their Way, Although they draw a Tyrant’s Pay; Trying, though powerless, to maintain Such Rags of Justice as remain, But All alike are summoned for The Prosecution of the War; Their Lives are so much Evidence The Fuehrer calls in his DefenceMore Proof, if any more were needed, That Right Force is superseded; That Justice, a Fascist Nation, Is no Essential Occupation!
