all his offices should be put at my disposal as evidence. The General Secretary of the Tribunal informed me of this on the 4th of December, but unfortunately I have not so far received copies of these speeches. I should be very grateful, therefore, if the Tribunal will ensure that its decisions are carried out arid that the documents are submitted to me without delay.

DODD: This document, Number 1526-PS, USA-178, is a letter written by the chairman of the Ukrainian Main Committee at Krakow in February 1943. 1 wish to read from the third page of the English text, beginning with the second paragraph; the same passage in the German 'text at Page 2, Paragraph 5. 1 quote:

"The general nervousness is still further increased by the wrong methods of labor mobilization which have been used more and more frequently in recent months.
