ROME, Sept. 17 (Reuler),-- The New York correspondent of the Italian nowapaper "Tele- grafo" says that the attitude of the United States will be much influenced by the way in which the Nazis conduct their sub- marine warfare,

If Germany acts in accordance with the Nazi character und conducts submarine warfare wholesale, it will offend a formidable section of Amerl- can opinion which favours the sup- port of Britain and France.

The correspondent thinks that the fattitude of the United States towards Germany might be as hostile as in 1017.
