"I was sware of one racking desire to be dead, dead, dead."* So wrote Karl Billingor, "victim of the sadistic Naxi chiefs, when describing in the London "Sunday_Chroniclo" in Novembor, 1935, the tortures he endured at the hands of these monsters.
At that time Billinger's story was discontinued in the "Sunday Chronicle" at the request of the Foreign Office. It was felt it might embitter relations between the two countries,
With the publication of the Government White Paper revealing the crueltics practised in German concentration camps, the "Sunday Chronicle" has completed the smazing and fully documented story which Billinger related after his
escape.

The old man's head crashed agalost the wall. He fell to the flour. The trooper promptly seized him by the neck, pulled him up. and punched him in the face. The second man to my right began gasping softly. I tried to get a limpse of him without moving my head. He was a sturdy fellow of twenty-five or so, and his face was tiviel green.
