German officer and submarine commander during the World War, and who has   
for years been deprived of his liberty, is well known to all of you, and   
we have the greatest regard for the bravery and relgious courage of this  
noble German. (Pastor Niemoller is meant-remark of the copier)  
From this example you can see, my Christians, that it is not merely a   
Catholic concern about which I speak to you publicly today, but a   
  Chritian, yes a human and national, a religious matter.   
 
                                                            
 
 
"Justice is the foundation of States"| We observe with great sorrow today   
how the foundation is being shaken, how justice, how natural and Christian   
virtue, indispensable for the ordered existence of every huma community is   
not being preserved and held up unmistakably recognizable for all.  Not   
only because of the rights of the church, not only for the right of human   
personality, but also for love of our nation and in deep concern for our  
country, we ask, we demand: "Justice"| Who would not fear for the   
exisistence of a house when he sees the foundations being undermined?  
"Justice is the foundation of states"| Only when the possessors of state   
power bow in reverence before the royal majesty of Justice and use the   
sword of retribution only in the service of Justice; only then can the   
power of the State stand with sincerity and the chance of lasting   
success before the illegal use of force by those who are accidentally  
the stronger, before the suppression of the weaker and their debasement  
                   to unworthy servitude.
