...almost unaskable in most countries, of whether an engaged young woman and her suitor are well adapted to each other in their physical proportions and heredities. After polite Dr. Campbell sat down last week, Chief Arthur Giitt of the German Public Health Department bluntly told the Congress: "Our penal code will shortly make compulsory a health examination for all marrying persons. The purpose of this is first to dissuade bodily or mental inferiors from marrying and especially from procreation. Second, to prevent marriages between hereditarily tainted persons, the same as a marriage between an Aryan and a non-Aryan. Third...
...young shepherdess, Tuema, encountered on the way. When the two travelers pledged Tuema their protection, she let them sleep in her tent without fear, knowing that they would not break their word.

Pestered by Nazi newshawks for opinions on this speech, most Conference delegates discreetly praised its "frankness." Off the record, to correspondents of their own nationality, they said that Germany had been unmasked by her Minister of Justice in the act of creating a penal code which had little to do with Justice as that term is understood by Anglo-Saxons. The split between Germany and her penologist guests appeared to them so wide that a majority resolved informally to remain silent and enter no discussion.
