THE TRIBUNAL (Mr. Biddle): But why is there an objection if it is simply a textual reproduction? The Prosecution has been given textual reproduction.
MAJOR BARRINGTON: There is no objection at all.
THE TRIBUNAL (Mr. Biddle): You mean it is not in the right column?
MAJOR BARRINGTON: I was putting in the Allied column only the ones which could make up a complete set according to the Prosecution’s views.
THE TRIBUNAL (Mr. Biddle): Is that true of 284 also, the Soviet-German pact?
MAJOR BARRINGTON: I do not know whether that has come before...
THE TRIBUNAL (Mr. Biddle): Why do you object to that then?
THE PRESIDENT: By “Pact,” is it the German Pact of the 28th of September 1939?
MAJOR BARRINGTON: This is the 28th of September 1939. I am told that there is no objection to that.
Number 285 is again simply a German report which draws conclusions of facts, and the Prosecution says that has no proper evidential value. It is a very long report by the German Foreign Office concerning the agitation in Europe against the German Reich by the Soviet Union, and it is full of conclusions of fact and opinions.
