AFTER POLAND FALLS THREE-POWER ULTIMATUM GERMAN’V-II'AI.Y-SO VIET AMERICAN CONJECTURE (Elec. Tot. Copyright —United i>rc«» Assn.) (Heed Sept. 10. 9 a.m.) BERLIN. Sept Hi. The Berlin correspondent of the United Press, in an ‘ttneeiisored dis : patch from Amsterdam, says there is no question that Germany plans to launch a strong peace offensive when the Russians and Germans have conquered Poland. Herr Hitler, M. Stalin and Signor Mussolini are believed to have agreed on a plan, the details of which are subject to a change, according to developments. Broadly, it provides for the early transfer of the majority of the it' German divisions and the German Air Force from Poland to tiic ItaloGerman frontier, enabling Italy to serve peace proposals to Britain and France amounting to an ultimatum.
Japan is expected to give general support with an implied threat to move against England and France in East Asia if the European war continues.
The Germans believe that the triple, threat will incline Britain to pccept as reasonable a general settlement as possible giving Poland sovereignty over her central area. Germany is not demanding the return of her former colonies,' but hopes to bargain for them.
