The lifting of the siege of Leningrad suggests another new phase in the pattern of world war. Yesterday's dispatches intimated that it may imply the commencement of a campaign by the Allies to relieve the Baltic States from the control of the Nazis. That is along the south shore of the Baltic Sea. Another suggestion might be that the plan of Allied' war may call for a campaign along the Baltic's north shore by Sweden, throwing in her lot finally with the Allies, thereby squeezing out Finland and leaving the Nazis in Norway J.6 take care of themselves the best they . can which would possibly be to withdraw altogether, particularly shoulcj their supply lines be cut off. The turn of events in Africa indicated that the Allies are quite as capable of strategic surprises as are the Axis powers. The power of the Allies, too, is ever increasing, ,as even the enemy are now forced to admit. New campaigns in Africa and Northern Europe may be only part of the long range program of the Allies de-' signed to exterminate the aggressor and bring victory to our side. j There must npfpssnrilv hp Inro-P nnrl curifr rlovolnn- ! ments if victory is to be speedily ours. Bigger things than we find it possible to vjsualize in our little orbit may be impending to suddenly change the whole picture. Sometimes events which' seem more or less Unimportant at the tme portend events of the greatest magnitude. Local Radio Situation . . . Now that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation , has been with us for the past six weeks or so and has been making a good showing in spite of natural obstacles, doubtless, the people of Prince Rupert will be more sympathetic to the idea of paying their radio licences, particularly since many of them have more money, anyway, than in the old lean' davs '. Long-suffering Prince Rupert radio fans are, how-j ever still of the opinion that a local inspector should be j appointed not alone for the purpose of checking up on ! the licences but also to give a hand in improving radio reception conditions generally for there are still some local receiver owners who cherish the idea of better reception from the further away stations. The local radio fans are also much interested still in any progress that may be made in the matter of hooking up Prince Rupert directly with the national network. Let's Not Blunder This Time .... There is fine talk current about how the United Nations will exact penalties for war crimes; how the individual Nazis and Japs guilty of crimes against troops, prisoners and civilian populations will be brought before a court and penalized; It is to be hoped thatauthorities are now laying the groundwork of these trials; ;that they have learned something from the fiasco of war guilt trialsfter the first Great War. Here are a few highlights of the record of that fiasco as reported by the magazine Free World. Commission of fifteen appointed January, 1919, to inquire into and report on violations of international law uiuuneauie lo uermany ana ner allies. Some 900 names of German war criminals were presented to German government February, 1920, with the reservation that the list did not comprise "all the authors of the innumerable crimes committed during the course of the war by the Germans." Though in signing the peace treaty, the Germans had solemnly obligated themselves to deliver up the accused for trial they soon reneged. Germany proposed, as a compromise to handing over her criminals, trying them herself before the Supreme Court of Leipzig. The Allies agreed and sent a test list of only 45 war criminals it wanted charged. These "trials" began May, 1921, two and a half years after the armistice. The Germans "were not able to find" some of the offenders the Alles were most anxious to have brought to justice. Henpe, result of theLeipzig trial was this: the original list of 900 criminals had been reduced to 45; of the 45 only 12 were actually tried; of the 12 only six were convicted. Most of the penalties were six or ten months m urison. One German major was sentenced to two; years for killing wounded war prisoners and homicide in misinterpreting orders. In January, 1922, a commission of Allied jurists started to inquire into this farce. There were protests that Germany "had not kent its promise to administer justice objectively and loyally." That's as far as the Allies got in the atrocity trials Its a feeble spectacle. Surely this time" we can do better.
