HITLER ON FUTILITY OF WAR
Anglo-German-American Pact Suggested
(Received May 30, 12.5 a.m.)
London, May 29.
The “Sunday Graphic” gives prominence to an interview which Herr Hitler gave before the Czech crisis last week. He said:—
“It is a lie to say that I want war, when 40 minutes after the outbreak bombers would have done more damage than could be repaired in half a century. 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 that task. “I should rejoice in an Anglo-Ger-man-Amcrican 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 the signature regardless of the cost.”
Herr Hitler added that the colonial question was most important—heavy with the fate of peace. Negotiations in connection with the question must move quickly ahead of unfolding human necessity, if force was not to take the matter in hand.
