As Most Effective Weapon I
By GLEN BABB f
Associated Press Foreign News Editor j
Hitler already is using the deadliest of his secret weapons,
the peace rumor. 1 r
Some day, perhaps not too many months off; there will come
a peace story that will be the real thing.
But before that day there probably will be scores, even hun
dreds, of reports of peace feelers, offers, negotiations which the
reading public must assay.
Only patient, honest, enlighten
ed statesmanship on the part of
United Nations leaders and an in
formed, intelligent skepticism
among their peoples can prevent
this nazi secret weapon from do
ing their cause far more harm than
all the rocket guns, atomic bombs
and other fantastic machinery of
destruction with which Dr. Goeb-
bels feeds the fading nazi hopes.
Not all the peace stories will
be made of whole cloth. It Is in
conceivable that nazi Germany,
faced by the prospect of catas
trophic defeat, will not try every
possiDie. avenue oi escape, une
same is true of her satellites.
It is a safe assumption that
every axis embassy or legation
in .the few neutral capitals has
elaborate Instructions not only
in spreading false peace propa
ganda but also for probing- for
every slightest opening for pos
sible discussions of means of
calling the whole terrible adven
ture off.
Some hints of these connivings
doubtless will become known, and
peace stories with some grain of
truth be built upon them.
But far the greater part of the
peace rumors will be of enemy
Piunity.

lief in Berlin that the time is op
portune for a peace rumor attack.
Most of the stories of German
readiness to parley are third or
fourth hand before they reach
public notice. One of this week's
best examples was a story which
appeared as a dispatch from
Basel to a newspaper in Geneva,
whence it was relayed to Stock
holm, where it was pounced upon
and radioed to the United States.
Its substance was that follow
ing a meeting of Hitler and his
counsellors in J Berlin an envoy
"who might be described as semi
official" was en route to Ankara
to collaborate with Ambassador
Franz von Papen in bringing to
Russian attention through Turk
ish channels offers of peace that
would restore the 1939 Russian
German accord.-
Whether this' was of German
manufacture or not is was no
ticeable that : the following day,
neatly timed to give it substance,
Von! Papen arranged a meeting
with the Turkish premier. - :
Note the -technique; The re
ported peace off ers siever are
made to the whole alliance, al
ways to Britain alone or Russia
alone, to fan any spark of dis
trust that can' be reached In
Moscow or London or Washing
ton or Chungking.
When Germany is beaten and
the last hazi peace rumor has been
dissipated by the shining truth of
German surrender, only the first
and perhaps the less difficult half
of the battle against this secret
weapon will have been won. "
The Indications are that Japan,
even before Pearl Harbor, count
ed on the peace rumor as among
the stoutest , weapons of her arm
ory. She will go all out to play
on ary war 'weariness,' readiness
to call it quits after Germany is
finished or lack of full trust
ner enemies. s'v.-f
