SIR DAVID MAXWELL-FYFE: And the Constitution of the German Reich, the Weimar Constitution of 11 August 1919. Again I shall assume the Court will take judicial cognizance of it.
SIR DAVID MAXWELL-FYFE: And Number 30, Hitler’s speech of 21 May 1935.
SIR DAVID MAXWELL-FYFE: Then there are a number which are already in evidence as far as I know:
Number 4, the Rhine Pact of Locarno; Number 5, the Memorandum to the Locarno Powers of the 25th of May 1935; Number 6, Memorandum to the Locarno Powers of the 7th of March 1936; Number 9, the Treaty of Versailles; Number 17, the speech by the Defendant Von Neurath, of 16 October 1933; Number 18, the proclamation by the Reich Government, of the 16th of March 1935. And then Number 7 was referred to but not read. That is the speech by the Defendant Von Ribbentrop before the League of Nations on the 19th of March 1936. All these are in or have been referred to and, therefore, there is no objection as far as they are concerned.
Then we come to a series of books. Dr. Stahmer has at the moment referred to the whole book: Number 1, the late Lord Rothermere’s book, _Warnings and Prophecies_; Number 2, the late Sir Nevile Henderson’s _Failure of a Mission_; Number 3, the references to a number of years of the _Dokumente der Deutschen Politik_.
THE PRESIDENT: Those appear to be repeated, don’t they, in the ones that follow or some of them? Six and seven, for instance, are taken from those volumes, aren’t they, of the _Deutschen Politik_?
SIR DAVID MAXWELL-FYFE: Yes, apparently they are, My Lord. If I might just give Your Lordship the others so that you have the group together:
Number 8, Mr. Fay’s book on the _Origin of the World War_, the first World War; Number 20, Mr. Winston Churchill’s book, _Step by Step_; Number 24, the Defendant Göring’s book, _Building up a Nation_; Number 26, to which I have already referred, is Mr. Dahlerus’ book, _The Last Attempt_.
With regard to these, there are two points: First of all, it is mechanically impossible to translate the whole of these books into Russian and French. I think most of them are in English already; secondly, the relevancy of the book cannot be decided until we see the extract which Dr. Stahmer is going to use. So the Prosecution submits that Dr. Stahmer should at the earliest opportunity let us know what are the extracts on which he relies so that they can be translated and we can decide as to whether they are relevant or not.
