Norwegian events indicate
stalemate; expect long war
By Norbert Mahnken.
As events in Norway reach somewhat of a stalemate, attention is
centered upon other points, particularly Sweden and Rumania. In Nor
way the conflict seems to have settled down to a lengthy contest be
tween the fighting groups. Norwegian irregular troops have gathered
in surprising numbers, and according to reliable reports seem to be
resisting the advance of the Germans, while at the same time recap
turing some of the territory formerly in nazi hands. Those persons who
envisioned a lengthy struggle taking place in Norway will apparently
eee their predictions come true. For while the Germans have been
stopped in the back country, they are still in possession of the strate
gic points of Oslo, Bergen, Trondheim, and Narvik.
The great sea battle which was waging seems to be at an end
for the present, and the bulk of the honors appear to go to the British.
Persistent reports Indicate that the Germans lost the battleship Gneise
nau, and the cruisers, Emden, Bluecher, and the Karlsruhe. British
losses in the Skagerrak appear to be confined to destroyers, and of
these the exact number cannot be determined. Along the western Nor
wegian coast the nazi capital ship, the Sharnhorst, was badly dam
aged, while the British, admitting that they lost several destroyers
and suffered damages on one of their newer heavy cruisers, at the same
time assert that they have also removed several German destroyers
from action.
Sweden draws attention
So for the time being interest centers in Sweden. If the Allies
have succeeded, as they claim, in closing the Skagerrak to nazi ship
ping, then the next move that may well be expected is a move of some
kind against Sweden. For the Germans would by coercing Sweden
into an agreement be able to supply their forces in Norway, add to
the strength of the army of occupation, and thus bring the allied con
trol of the straits to naught. At the time of this writing no direct
representations of this nature have been made.
Swedish Prime Minister Hansson has declared that his country
will use all measures needed to maintain its neutrality. At the same
time he has officially denied that Germany has made any suggesUon
that troops be allowed to pass through Sweden. The nazis, however,
how no indication to let the Swedes rest at ease. Official German
sources are constantly warning the Swedes not to bet on the possibility
f an allied victory, for this would be "following the road to Poland."
within Sweden there is probably little peace of mind tnese aays
Th Rumanians likewise appear irritated at German action. Dr.
Karl Clodius, who was sent by the nazi officials in an attempt to ob
tain better trade concessions from the Rumanians, appears to have ac-
mniuherl lust the opposite. On top of a whole series oi minor irn
.tinn m,ch as the suggestion that the Germans be allowed to police
the Danube, etc., came the announcement that the naxis were banning
the shipment of a long list of articles to Rumania. The Joker which
caused so much trouble here was the fact that in the list was included
coke which is essential to Rumania's ore industries. The Rumanians
retaliated by stopping freight loadings of exports to Germany, and
now each is sitting back waiting for trie nexi move.
