Berlin, Apr. 29.
A copy of Herr Adolf Hitler's speech before the Reichstag was handed to the United States Charge d'Affaires by the German Foreign Office last night as Der Fuehrer's formal reply to President Roosevelt's April 14 peace appeal.
In Washington it had been indicated that Herr Hitler's speech would not be considered a reply to President Roosevelt's message. Whether the submission of a copy of Herr Hitler's speech to the American Embassy here as a reply to Mr. Roosevelt would alter the situation could not be learned immediately—United Press.
