RUTHLESS PUNISHMENT OF TREASON

HIGH TREASON IN GERMANY IS IN FUTURE TO BE TREATED WITH "BARBARIC RUTHLESS- NESS," DECLARED HERR HITLER IN THE COURSE OF A SPEECH IN THE REICHSTAG OUT- LINING THE GOVERNMENT'S POLICY. HE ALSO ADDED, AMID GOVERNMENT CHEERS, THAT THOSE RESPONSIBLE FOR SETTING FIRE TO THE REICHSTAG BUILDING WOULD BE PUBLICLY EXECUTED AT THE EARLIEST POS- SIBLE MOMENT.

Germany, said the Chancellor, was ready to hold out her hand to each nation which was prepared to wipe the slate clean from the sad past. All she wanted was equality of rights and freedom.

Meanwhile, sensations have been created in Berlin by the arrests of Karl Severing, the former Socialist Minister Interior, the former Socialist Deputy, Herr Leber, and Dr. Gereke, Nazi State Commissioner for Creation of Work in Prussia, on seri- ous charges.
