HITLER & PEACE
WANTS MIS OWN TERMS STATEMENT BY VISCOUNT HALIFAX. REPLY MADE TO CRITICS IN HOUSE OF LORDS. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 11.20 a.m.) LONDON, December 13. In the House of Lords, Viscount Halifax (Foreign Minister) replying to Earl Darnley and Lord Arnold, who urged that advantage be taken immediately of ihe Belgium-Dutch offer of mediation with Germany, said: "I am quite certain that Herr Hitler is most anxious for peace, but on Herr Hitler’s terms. Nobody feels more strongly than I how criminally wrong it would be to miss any real opportunity xor peace but I do not believe there is enough evidence at present to justify the course which Earl Darnley recommended. England and France have not closed the door to further negotiation, but Germany has not even bothered officially to acknowledge the BelgianDutch offer.”
