Associated Press Foreign Correspondent.
CAIRO, Oct. 6.-Adolf Hitler will
make a new peace offer to Britain
and the United States as we'll before
the years end, according to infor-
nation reaching here.
Hitler, according to one Amer
ican recently arrived from German
controlled territory, expects to be
able within this time to announce
that Russia has been put out of the
war and to state that he is going
ahead with his new order" on the
continent and ignore England except
TO carry out reprisals against her
for any bombing done to Germany.
The Germans expect that England
after period of such a Stalemate
would accept peace, this informant
said.
The peace offer forecast is given
considerable credence in both Brit
ish and American diplomatic quar-
ters here, but both are certain that
the offer will be rejected and that
the war will go on.
Will Concentrate on Soviet.
The information comes from va
rious sources. The American arriv-
ing from German territory said high
NaI officials whom he had known
for years indicated that the olive
branch dengled again before the
| British people would this time be
backed up with arguments which
the Germans thought would make
them consider accepting it.
J. According to this information,
Hitler will concentrate Germany S
full war-waging power against Rus
sia in the next six weeks in the
hope of making sufficient gains to
tell the world he has put the Soviet
Union out OF the combat and
crushed Bolshevism,
Attacks on Britain and the Near
East would be held to a bare mini
mum, while all strength possible
would be turned on Russia.
Hitler would then say that he
has fulfilled his mission and estab-
lished Germany supreme on the
continent, and that he cannot be
dislodged.
The American quoted the Nazis as
saying that the peace offer is likely
to be backed up with an argument
like this:
"As far as Germany is concerned,
the war is over and we are going
ahead with organization of the
continent. From now on our only
war activity will be reprisals.
For every plane the British send
over, Germany will send at least
one over England. For every bomb
dropped, Germany will drop at least
one on England. For every Ger
man killed. We will kill at least one
Englishman. We can hold out in
definitely"
Expect Stalemate for 6 Months.
The American said the Nazi told
him that the British and Ameri-
cans probably would spurn the Of
fer when it is first made, but that
they might feel different after six
| months of such a stalemate.
He quoted them as saying that
Hitler would stress that he had
given up any idea of taking Brit
ish territory after he had found
it impossible to take Gibraltar.
Malta and Cyprus, and on finding
he had been halted in Africa at
the Egyptian frontier.
Among others who believe a new
peace offer is coming after the Rus
sian campaign there are some who
think that once it be rejected Hit
Ter would permit no stalemate. but
rather would hurl his forces against
the British in the Near East
The Nile Army is now greater
than ever, and such campaign
might be the most decisive one of
the war, for Germany might suffer
losses which, after those of Russia,
would finally break the strength
OF her military machine.
