VIEW STIFFENS

Only 7 Per Cent Now Favor Negotiated Peace With Hitler.

By DR. GEORGE GALLUP Director, Smericss 2 Institute of Public |

PRINCETON, i J., Dec. 11.—A sharp stiffening of British public opinion against the idea of a negotiated peace with Hitler is revealed in a series of public opinion studies by the British institute of Public Whereas last March, one-fourth of all British voters polled | were in favor ” opening negoti ~tions for peace, today the proportion who getively favor this has shrunk to|7 per cent. The overwhine merit say that if someone in their presence suggested a negotiated . peace with. Germany naw, they would either contradict him or report him to the authorities. * One of the most interesting aspects of the democratic process in a nation at war is the mere fact that a public survey can be taken in which voters are.freely permitted to. say whether they want the war to end. -Equally interesting is the manner in which the British Institute, entirely manned and directed by a British staff, put the esti .in the survey.

‘ “If someone in your Uresonch suggested that it would be a good idea to have a negotiated peace with Germany now, what would you do?” ; The interviewing was concluded just before the debate in Commons last Thursday in which a peace move was voted down 341 to 4. The survey results were:

Agree that it would be a good idea .................. Contradict him ....... Report him to the authorities .............v....o... 13] ‘Say nothing ................ 21

Confirmation of the survey results came only four days ago in a British by-election in Northampton where a “stop the war” candidate received only 6.5 per .cent of the vote, as compared to the .countrywide vote of 7 p ent for peace in the Institute's. ns The “say nothing” group: included those who had no ready answer) or were undecided. What gives added mpoftance to the result is the contrast with the previous survey taken last March. At that time, before the fall of France and the air blitzkrieg on England, more than three times as many people favored a negotiated peace as favor it today. “Would you approve or disapprove if the British government were to discuss peace Proposals new with Germany? ; March, 1940 a Xes ....... ................ 5 No ......... 0 0.000.002. 09 Undecided ................... 6 This survey was taken shortly after the arrival in Europe of United States Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles, whose mission was widely interpreted in England as a possible peace move.
