Hold Meeting If "Peace" Offensive Unsuccessful Berlin, Oct. 12.
Urgent consultations between Germany, Italy and Russia were expected here today by informed Nazi quarters to decide on the future policy of the three Powers if, as was generally believed, the Prime Minister of Great Britain Mr. Neville. Chamberlain, rejects Chancellor Adolf Hitler's peace proposals today.
Consultations were expected to last at least 48 hours and would probably be followed by an announcement of what was described as a "decision of far reaching importance."
Meanwhile, a war communique revealed the intensification of the German air force's counter-attack against ihe British blockade, The communique said the air force began operations off the Norwegian west coast on October 7 and that they were "continuing."
Private Nazi sources indicated that if the Allies reject the German peace proposals, one of the principle weapons Germany will use in retaliation will be mass air raids upon British warships as well as merchant ship convoys.—Uniled Press.
