MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: Now, you testified yesterday or the day before, that the so-called New Plan had nothing to do with the armament program, did you not?
SCHACHT: Nothing in particular with armament.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: Oh, nothing in particular.
SCHACHT: No. I mean of course—the Tribunal was expressly asked whether I was to speak about the New Plan here or not, and the Tribunal decided that it was to be brought up at your cross-examination. I am prepared to inform you now about the New Plan before you...
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: Now, Dr. Schacht, you have no objection to answering my questions, have you?
SCHACHT: Certainly not.
MR. JUSTICE JACKSON: I am referring to the answer which you gave—the one which you were not allowed to give—find the Page 8732 of this record (Volume XII, Pages 484 and 485):
“Question: ‘Some of your economic policies during the time you were Minister of Economics, which have been accused as being in preparation for war, were the so-called New Plan. What was that?’ ”
And your answer:
“May I state first of all that the New Plan had nothing at all to do with rearmament.”
