■J least 70 years that the Krupp munition)* works wore

Woodshed were tiling's to ire oneouraped, hoeanse they pant

So nobody was vert' surprised or sorry when old Gus-
tav Krupp von Bohlen mid Hal bach was ineltidetl in the
allies' list of German war criminals. Hut the recent Amor-
ican proposal to substituto Alfrird Krupp for his ailing
father, Gustav, scarcely was lip to our l>ost standards of
justice.
When it became evident that the elder Krupp was
physically unable to stand trial, the British pro|*ose<l that
lie ho tried in absentia. Hut the American viewpoint, as
expressed liv Mr. Justice Jackson, was that one of the
presort!tion's main objectives would lie defeated il ,i

Vl/MV not try all Krupp executives who appear guilty of
having encouraged aggressive warfare, and all 'ither
axis industrialists on whom similar charges might seem
to fall? It is scarcely in the American tradition to pick
one defendant as a "symbol” of a crime when the first-
choice defendant is unable to appear.
According to the record, Alfried Krupp should have
been on the original list of war criminals; lie has beer
closely concerned with Krupp management and lxJicy for
eight years. In 1!)4<». when his father became chairman
of the board, be was made president. Like his father, h(
was an active Nazi and a heavy contributor to the party
treasury. If the elder Krupp belongs among the defend-
ants, his son does too.
But h< should be then’ as an active war criminal
not as a "symbol.” That is a little too much like thi
practice of taking and punishing hostages.
* 44 *
-rilK whole matter may seem unimportant. Hut Ihe eyei
1 of the world will bo upon this first effort to try men
for plotting the mass murder of millions. There is admit-
tedly no precedent for trying war criminals. And for that
reason it might be well that the usual practices of justice
be observed where possible—since there is to be the for-
mality of a trial—even if the outcome is a foregone con-
clusion.
It might be better to combine the British and Amer-
ican proposals. Let old Krupp be tried in absentia, not as
a symbol but as what he is. And let his son also be tried
on his own record.
