DUTCH PREMIER URGES PEACE TALKS NOW
(Received 4. 1.15 p.m.) THE HAGUE, Jan. 3. The Dutch Prime Minister. Jonkheer de Greer, in a New Year’s broadcast, appealed to the belligerent Powers to realise that they had better start peace negotiations now than continue the war and leave a ruined and powerless Europe at the mercy of dark powers which would not spare civilisation. If only the belligerents would gather round a conference table, he said, the world would relax and there would be a better chance of an enduring world peace than if a war-torn victor imposed a so-called peace on his victim.
