by us to the French reinforces the view that the best in-
terests of our country would be served by the repatriation
of such prisoners in accordance with the Geneva Convention.
The ordinary German soldier suffered greatly at the hands
of the Nazi Party, and he offers the best hope of providing
a democratic government in Germany in the future. Nothing
therefore should be done to embitter him unnecessarily, or
furnish him any just basis for feeling that we had not made
good on our own engagements with respect to his treatment
as a prisoner of war.
6. The Nuremberg Trial. I had an opportunity to
attend two days' sessions of the Nuremberg Trial. The digni-
ty, fairness and decorum with which the trial is being con-
ducted is such as to commend it to everyone, and reflects
great credit on the members of the Court and the Prosecutors.
Mr. Justice Jackson is entitled to the highest commendation
for his work in connection with the international agreement
creating the court, for his success in dealing with the
difficulties of arranging the physical facilities, and col-
lecting the evidence, and also for the manner in which the
trial is being conducted by the prosecution. It would be a
great los S if anything were to interfere with his participa-
tion in the trial through to its conclusion.
