SIR DAVID MAXWELL-FYFE: None at all, My Lord.
THE PRESIDENT: He has already stated the substance of these documents, as has the Defendant Ribbentrop, and if the documents are now produced and supposing that the Tribunal took the view that they ought to be admitted, it would be entirely irrelevant to call Gaus as a witness.
SIR DAVID MAXWELL-FYFE: In my submission that is so, My Lord.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I think the Tribunal had better consider these documents, as they had stated in their order they were going to do when the documents had been produced.
SIR DAVID MAXWELL-FYFE: If Your Lordship pleases.
Now, My Lord, the next application is on behalf of the Defendant Funk, and he requests permission to read the affidavit of the witness Kallus. The permission was previously granted to the Defendant Funk to submit an interrogatory to Kallus, which has been done, and the interrogatory has already been introduced in evidence. The affidavit now in question has been received and supplements the interrogatory, and the Prosecution have no objection.
The next application is on behalf of the Defendant Streicher, and he desires to call the witness Gassner as a witness, and he is desired to speak as to the Stürmer and the size of the circulation and the profits. The Prosecution submit that it is unnecessary to call a witness as to the form of the Stürmer after 1933. A representative number of copies of the newspaper are before the Tribunal and the form of the newspaper can be seen from them.
On the second point, both the Defendant Streicher and the witness Hiemer have given evidence as to the Stürmer’s circulation, and it is respectfully submitted that the takings of the Stürmer and the use to which they were put are irrelevant.
Then, My Lord, the next application, on behalf of the Defendant Sauckel, is for one Biedermann as a witness, instead of a witness allowed previously who cannot be found. The Prosecution have no objection to that, and they have no objection to the documents that are asked for, so with the approval of the Tribunal I shall not go through them in detail.
THE PRESIDENT: Sir David, we should like to know when you think the most appropriate time would be to hear the evidence on behalf of those defendants whose cases have already been presented, whether to hear it at the end of all the evidence or to hear it earlier?
