In an order issued late Fri

Will Hitler
Declare War?
BY JOE ALEX MORRIS
United Press Foreign News Editor

Adolf Hitler may be de-
batting today whether to make
a formal declaration of war
against the United States.
The belief in high British circles
that Hitler eventually might seek
important psychological and military
advantages by declaring war on the
United States, if he were convinced
that it is inevitable anyway, was
no secret last spring when 1 was
in London. The same view has been
expressed privately in Berlin by
authoritative German sources.
Now, President Roosevelt's seiz-
ure of the initiative by ordering
American warships to shoot first
at Axis submarines in defense of
western hemisphere waters has re-
suited in a Statement in Berlin that
Hitler is compelled to take "appro-
pirate retaliatory measures.
These measures, it is emphasized
significantly by the Nazis, will be
determined by us,"-that is, by
Hitler.
No military ruler ever faced a
decision more certain to influence
the future chapters of history. It
is doubly significant for Hitler at
time when the Red army's resis-
tance to his hitherto invincible le-
gions is stirring trouble through
out an-occupied Europe ano
permitting time for the American
industrial machine to be geared to
war production.
And this decision-which Hitler
wanted to postpone-has been fore
ed closer by series of fateful, per-
hapS unavoidable, events:
