AUSTRALIAN OPINION
POSSIBLE HITLER MOVES
EARLY ACTION ESSENTIAL
(Reed. August 21, 11 a.m.) MELBOURNE, August 20. Sir Henry Gullett, the Minister of External Affairs,' stated on Saturday that the radio announcement from Bratislava, of the German military control of Slovakia practically
meant that the status of Slovakia had become little better than that of Bohemia and Moravia, and had very little military significance.
He added that in spite of the gravity of the international situation, strong factors and forces were still working in the interests of peace.
“The danger of an early outbreak of war,” he said, lies in the very limited time which remains to Herr Hitler during the European late summer and autumn. If Herr Hitler is to strike this year, he will strike now at any time,” said Sir Henry.
