A ghastly picture of revolting bestiality that caused two audiences-one at a noonday luncheon at the #ellevue-Stratford Hotel, and the other at the Locust St. Theater in the evening – to shudder, was painted by Lord Dudley Marley who came here as guest of the Philadelphia Committee to Aid the Victims of German Fascism.
Lord Marley made ir clear the details he recited were gathered by a commission of six international lawyers and physicians, and represented cruelty practiced by Nazis in Germany to this day. In presenting the data, assembled by this commission, Lord Marley said he was citing only such cases as were typical. Ir the course of his report he told of thousands upon taousands of victims who were beaten with steel whips and rubber truncheons, of eyes gouged out, of ears torn off, of open wounds rubbed with pepper. More than two thousand cases of menand women who met this terrible death he said, were collected as definite evidence by this commission.
There are in Germany today, he added, tens of thousands of innocent sufferers in concentration camps. In addition, there are mary times that number of relatives of these people who are in danger of starvation. “We believe we are aiding the German people by mobilizing opinion against the present government,” Lord Marley declared. He told of the work being done by his committee in bringing aid to the victims of Hitlerism within Germany. This work is being done secretly, the methods employed are known to only three people-one American one Frenchman and one Englishman, he said.
