“NO DESIRE FOR WAR.”
STATEMENT BY HERR HITLER.
MAKING PEACE IMPREGNABLE.
(United Press Association—Copyright.) LONDON, May 29.
The “Sunday Graphic” give prominence to an interview which Herr Hitler gave before the Czechoslovakian crisis last week. “It is a lie to say that I want war, when 40 minutes after the outbreak bombers would have done more damage than coujfl be repaired in half a century,” he declared. “We know the utter futility and calamity of war. Mankind’s task is to make peace impregnable. “Germany is ready to participate to the fullest ’extent in this matter. I should rejoico in a British-German-American understanding which I believe would be decisive for world peace. We will be most careful what we sign, but when we have signed we will honour our signature regardless of the cost.”
Herr Hitler added: “The colonial question is most important and has a heavy bearing on the fate of peace. Negotiations on this question must move quickly ahead of the unfolding of human necessity if force is not to take the matter in hand.”
