THE PRESIDENT: We have this document, which appears to be an official document, but this addition has no such seal upon it as this has.
M. DUBOST: There is mention of an appendix to this document.
THE PRESIDENT: The other is marked: Appendix. It must be identified by a seal.
M. DUBOST: The covering letter has a seal and the fact that it alludes to the document is sufficient, in my opinion, to authenticate the document transmitted. May I continue?
THE PRESIDENT: No. This document here has a letter attached to it. This document here is not referred to in that letter specifically. Therefore, there is nothing to connect the two documents together.
M. DUBOST: I think there is a manuscript note in the margin. I have not the document before me here and cannot be positive about it but I think there is a manuscript note in the margin.
THE PRESIDENT: The Tribunal wishes you to put this in as one document. I see there is a manuscript note here at the side, in writing, which refers to the Appendix. If you will put the whole thing in together . . .
M. DUBOST: It is all submitted in one file.

“4 April 1941.
