NIEMOLLER SAYS PEACE OUTLOOK IS “VERY DIM"
SYDNEY, This Day (Rec. 10.10 a.m.). —In a farewell message to Australia before returning to Germany today, Pastor Niemoller , said that many Germans wished to migrate to Australia, but that, if Australia insisted on signing a peace treaty first, there would be no migration for many years. There were many fit and useful types waiting in Germany, he said, but at present they could not leave until the treaty was signed. He believed that the human reasons to overcome this problem should be stronger than the formalistic reasons.
“My opinion is that no peace treaty will be signed with Germany for many years,” added Pastor Niemoller. “Neither the East nor ’West State in Germany is likely to sign a separate peace treaty so long as there ia tension between the two halves of Germany. I certainly cannot see Russia allowing the East State to sign a separate treaty. This makes the outlook for peace very dim.”
