THE PRESIDENT: Why did you not read the last line on Page 2?
MR. DODD: Beginning with the words “while still gaining power”?
THE PRESIDENT: The sentence before:
“We must first gain complete power if we want to crush the other side completely. While still gaining power, one should not start the struggle against the opponent. Only when one knows that one has readied the pinnacle of power, that there is no further possible development, shall one strike.”
MR. DODD: I was going to refer to that, if Your Honor pleases, in a minute. However, I think it is quite proper to have it inserted here.
Before starting to read this last paragraph, I suggest that it is nearly the accustomed recess time, as I understand it, and it is a rather lengthy paragraph. . . .
THE PRESIDENT [Interposing]: Yes, we will adjourn until 2 o’clock.
[The Tribunal recessed until 1400 hours.]
