THE PRESIDENT: One moment, Dr. Seidl. To what issue has this speech got relevance?
THE PRESIDENT: Yes. Well, it is the one on Page 23. It is 8 July 1934.
DR. SEIDL: Yes, Mr. President, this speech deals with the question of war and peace. Since the Defendant Hess is accused of having participated in the psychological preparation of aggressive war, and thus also of being a participant in the conspiracy, it seems to me that the attitude of the Defendant Hess toward the question of war is of considerable importance as regards evidence.
THE PRESIDENT: Very well. We will allow you to read it.
DR. SEIDL: Mr. President, I do not intend to read the speech now. I only want to bring up the speech as an exhibit so as to be able to refer to it in my final speech, if necessary.
DR. SEIDL: I shall read nothing at all from the first document book. I shall only mention certain documents as exhibits.
I turn to Page 28 of the document book. This is another speech by the Defendant Hess, delivered on 27 November 1934. The number of this exhibit will be H-2.
THE PRESIDENT: The speech of 8 December 1934 begins on Page 27.
DR. SEIDL: Page 27, that is right. It was marked here incorrectly. As the third exhibit I submit a speech—that is to say, an excerpt from a speech—of 17 November 1935, Page 31 of the document book, Exhibit Number H-3.
I turn to Page 32 of the document book, an excerpt from a speech of 11 October 1936, Exhibit Number H-4.
Then comes a speech of 14 March 1936, Page 33 of the document book, Exhibit Number H-5.
The next exhibit is on Page 35 of the document book, a speech of 21 March 1936, Exhibit Number H-6.
Exhibit Number H-7 is a speech on Page 36 of the document book.
Exhibit Number H-8 is a speech of 6 June 1936, on Page 40 of the document book.
Then, I turn to Page 43 of the document book, a speech at the Reichsparteitag in Nuremberg 1936, Exhibit Number H-9.
There follow excerpts of a speech on Page 59 of the document book, Exhibit Number H-10.
A speech of 14 May 1938 at Stockholm is found on Page 70 of the document book, Exhibit Number H-11.
The next exhibit is on Page 78 of the document book, Exhibit Number H-12.
So much for the first volume of the document book.
I pass on to the second volume, to the affidavit which I submitted last Friday. It can be found on Page 164 of the document book. It is an affidavit made by the former Secretary, Hildegard Fath, and it will bear the Exhibit Number H-13.
