DESIRE FOR PEACE
GERMAN FEELING VOICED BY HITLER
DETERMINATION TO AVOID W AR [United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright] (Received 13th January, 9.15 a.m.) LONDON, 12th January. The Berlin correspondent of “The Times” says that, in emphasising Germany’s desire for peace, Herr Hitler expressed a feeling undoubtedly existing in all ranks and classes. In spite of the steadily growing army and the great armament drive, few of the rank and file do not fell sincerely that the Government is determined to avoid war. The general desire for peace is more confirmed as the effects of war are seen more clearly from abroad. The fall l of Teruel was much taken to heart as a grim and depressing reminder that, with modern weapons, almost any war is likely to be prolonged. News from | ihe Far East is no more comforting for the general public. While officially the invasion of China is still hailed as sujpremely glorious, there persists an uneasy thought in many quarters that Jaj pan is laying waste a formerly good j customer of Germany and also weakening herself.
A message published yesterday stated that Herr Hitler, m reply to good j wishes expressed by diplomatists at the | customary New Year reception, said that peace was his aim and that of the Reich Government.
