Italian Premier Benito Mussolini's Cabinet today "solemnly reaffirmed" Italys fidelity and alliance to Ger rarv and also Italy's determination 10 fight on, even as the British of- f;cial hcadruarters estimated that 94 0G0 Italians have been knocked out of the war in North Africa, kill. ed, wounded. captured or missing, in the past 28 days.
 The British statement says chat 10000 Italian have been captured Tn the African campaign. including more than 30.0O0 taken in Bardia last Sunday when that Italian sea port surrendered.
 Admits Bardia Has Fallen
 After delay of two days, Musso- lini's Hieh Command finally ac- knowledged the fall of Bardia end ing the siege in which "our troops were subjected to bombardment for 25 days but in which time was writ ton the sublime pages of courage. Our troops inflicted heavy losses on the enemy"
 The Fascist communiure also Gd- mits our losses were heavy in loyal men and also in material captured"
 Italians Glorified
 A scmi-official Italian statement declared that the world must con- slider the siege of Bardia as glor- ious page in Italian arms history
 The semi official statement as- serts the Bardia forces were op- posed by 250,0O0 British troops sup ported by great armored units" and not less than 1000 planes and the entire Alexandria fleet.

WASHINGTON = In talks with his close advisers recently, the Presi- dent has revealed a much more con- fident opinion of the outcome of the war in Europe.
 This confidence rests partly upon the belief that Hitler, and Nazi of ficials generally, are greatly worried over the possible entry of the Unit cd States into the war, and are ac- curing a genuine respect for what the United States is accomplishing in the way of national defense.
 Hitler, Roosevelt has told his friends, had the greatest scorn for Britain under Chamberlain, and for France For some time. also Hitler had the same idea about the United States. The President confides that as far as he has been able to ascer- tain, Hitler regarded him as just an- other Chamberlain.
 But now intelligence reports from Germany indicate that Hitler's opin ion of the United States has changed to one of respect and even fear Roosevelt plans to make the most ot this psychological factor, and be- lieves that sending every possible aic to Britain, short of war, will helr to do it. He believes this can b. dcne without getting into war though he acknowledges privatel. that it carries 'isks.
 Most risky American project wculf be to convoy merchant ships acros the Atlantic, and so far Roosevelt has refused to commit himself though this is what the British need most desperately. However, some of his advisers continue to be strongly for it, and believe they have made a dent on the President.
 What they argue is this: Tn United States cannot be attacked long as the war continues to rag in Europe and the British fleet re mains afloat. Therefore, since WI cannot be attacked, we can get into the war to any degree we like-with- out sending an expeditionary force
 Should Germany declare war oI the United States, these Roosevelt advisers urge, we can merely con tinue with our present support tt Britain. Business would proceed a: usual. since the Nazis would be pow erless to cross the Atlantic to attack
