Peace Rumors
Impair Vigor
Of War Effort
Washington, Nov. 29.- (AP)-Secretary of State Hull said today that the current crop of peace rumors apparently are put out to impair the "vigor" of the Allied war effort by creating overconfidence.
In response to a press conference question, "have you any information that would support rumors that a German peace move is afoot either through the Vatican or other channels?" the Secretary replied:
"I think I would be safe in authorizing you to quote me entirely in the negative about such rumors at every day's conference until I notify you to the contrary."
"They are evidently put out most of the time with a view to creating overconfidence among the Allies in carrying on the war to a successful conclusion and in that way impairing the whole vigor of the war situation on the Allied side."
Hull did not elaborate but the implication was clear that he considers the peace rumors to be axis-inspired.
