NO PEACE FEELERS

Allied Terms NO GOOD FOR GERMAN RULERS. (Rec. 9.20.) NEW YORK, Nov. 29. According to the “New York Times’s” correspondent, the reports that the Germans have put out peace feelers are untrue. He says that he has secured this information from official quarters. He adds: “It is true that, ever since the loss of Stalingrad, a few Germans, representing nobody in particular, talked in various neutral capitals about peace, but the British Government has not received what it considers to be any “serious” peace offer from anybody representing anv substantial group inside of Germany. There are only three -roups inside of Germany who can make peace. These are the Government, the Army, and the Gestapo. None of these can be assumed to be interested in Allied terms of unconditional surrender, for the simple reason that such terms would mean the end of them all as soon a? the armistice was signed. The purpose of anv Allied meeting that may take Place is to defeat Germany, and to keen her defeated. However, it may be that, after their conference, the Allies may produce a more precise definition of unconditional surrender, thus giving to the Germans a more accurate nicture of what the United Nations are contemplating. .
