TALK OF NEW WAR EXAGGERATED, SAYS MONTGOMERY
Darwin, July 1 The Chief of the Imperial General Staff, Field-Marshal Montgomery, who arrived in Darwin last night on the first stage of his tour of Australia and New Zealand, said that all talk of a new war was greatly exaggerated. Addressing 2000 people on the Darwin Oval, he said he wanted to give the people of Australiasia a message of hope and confidence. “There has been a great upheaval,” he said. “Alter a great storm it takes a long time for the waves to settle down and become calm again. The world is settling down slowly and 1 consider this is a good sign tor peace. If it had been settling down last I would have been more worried because I am fed up with war and I think returned soldiers will agree witli me in that. It Is better for the world to settle down slowly than hurry the business and have further wars. ’
