Axis papers attack ‘War guilt’ trials

BERNIJ, Switzerland, March 4- (AP) — Axis newspapers have launched attacks on the French "raar guilt" trial at Riom as an "international scandal” and a pro- cetlure proving that the mentality of France "must be modified com- pictely."

Resentment among Nazi officials who apparently had hoped to find in the trials confirmation of the Crerman thesis that France was guilty of provoking the war was expressed by the press chief of the German foregin ministry. I-lc do- olared the question to be answered is "Wliy did Rance declare war on Germany?" rather than the

“secondary” question of why France lost the wnr. Following the Nazi lead, Italian
