Washington, May 4.
Urging Americans tà give serious consideration to the exploratory peace terms published recently in "Japan Times and Advertiser." Mr. L D.
Morley, well-known publicist and educator, and at present President of Haverford College. declared in an article published in the "Sunday Star" that while the terms are inadmissible in many respects, they are constructive in character and offer at least a basis on which forward-looking individuals can discuss the form and belligerent, to state its general objectives in clearer terms. 1f these aims can be reconciled in a mutually patis-factory manner, a formula for consideration by the actual belligerents will be prepared."
The writer went on to analyze the main principles underlying the Japanese suggestion and noted that the main feature is the substitution of a large scale regionalism based on the assumption that certain great Powers will dominate both contiguous and more distant territory.
"Felt Happy"
After repeating facts in relation to the adherence of Yugoslavia to the three-power pact, Hitler said that on March 24 he left Vienna truly happy because he believed that, at the last moment, German intervention in the Balkans might become superfluous.
"When I heard of the coup which caused Churchill to utter his joyous words that at last he had something good to report, I at once gave orders to attack Yugoslavia because it is impossible for anyone to treat the German Reich this way."
The Chancellor described in detail the main plan of the campaign against Yugoslavia and Greece in cooperation with the Italian army after general agreement had been secured both with Italy and Hungary.
He said Churchill had alleged that the Greek campaign had cost Germany 75,000 lives, which was more than double the losses of the whole Western campaign.
The number of Englishmen, New Zealanders and Australians taken prisoner, declared Hitler, exceeded 9,000 officers and men, adding that the booty could not even be approximately estimated at present.
The share of booty due to the German forces, according to present estimates, amounted to over 500,000 rifles, more than 1,000 guns, many thousands of machine-guns, anti-aircraft weapons and trench mortars, numerous vehicles and large quantities of ammunition and equipments.
For the operations in the south-east 3 full and two half divisions were set apart, of which two infantry and Alpine divisions, six tank divisions, three full and two half mechanized divisions of army, and armed S. troops took part in the actual fighting.
