FIRST FRUITS
No doubt can any longer exist that the first
great victory of the war haa been won by the Ger
ans. In a move that was a marvel for tactical
efficiency the nazi war machine moved into Nor
way and Denmark, with no resistance worthy of
the name. Meanwhile the British fleet appears to
have been fooled into following a part of the Ger
man fleet into the North sea, thus enabling the Ger
mans to land without any serious molestation. The
campaign, planned to the most minute detail, and
resting upon a secrecy that completely fooled every
one, thus becomes the first big mark on the credit
side of the German ledger.
Norwegian resistance has dwindled to a mini
mum. Oslo, Bergen and Trondheim, the chief cen
ters having fallen into the hands of the nazi in
vaders such resistance as there still exists is gath
ering around Hamar, 60 miles inland, in the rather
forlorn hope that British aid may arrive in time
to fight off the Germans.
The British appear to have been stirred from
their lethergy, as persistent rumors which come in
indicate that a naval battle of considerable' pro
portions is taking place off the western coast of
Norway. Rumors also Indicate that an expedition
ary force is being dispatched to Norway. These
rumors all recognize the obvious fact that an un
contested victory in the Scandinavian countries
would put Germany in the position of exercising
complete hegemony in northern Europe.
The possibility of the German and British fleets
coming to blows apparently is very real. Yet the
Germans, realizing the superiority of the British
fleet both in tonnage and in firing power (as was
evidenced at Montevideo) will probably not risk a
ship for battle. Flans would call for the German
attempt to draw the British fleet into a submarine
or airplane trap, in the hope that the tonnage thus
destroyed would be considerable.
Even a British naval victory in the North sea
will not mean that the German victory in Norway
and Denmark has been nullified. Only by landing
an expeditionary force on Norwegian shores and
driving out the Germans can the allies hope to
salvage anything from the latest wrecking of a
nation. A British naval victory would drive the
remnants of the German fleet back into the Skager
rak, it is true, but so long as the Germans control
both the peninsula of Denmark and the mainland
of Norway the nazis can by mining the straits and
by ample use of submarines completely shut the
allies off from the Scandinavian states.
The advantages which their latest coup have
brought to the Germans are immeasurable. Den
mark means the acquisition of considerable supplies
of badly needed food supplies. The Danes produce
a considerable surplus of dairy products, sufficient
to feed several millions, and those supplies, which
until now have been sent to Britain, all fall into
nazi hands. The capture of Norway brings raw
materials, ample resources of timber and fish prod
ucts. If the Germans can keep the allies at bay
Sweden at once becomes nothing but a German de
pendency. Swedish high-grade iron ore would fur
nish the steel for Hitler's war machine. The Swed
ish arms, some of which, particularly anti-aircraft
guns, acknowledged to be the finest in the world,
would increase the strength of the German forces.
In summary then, failure of the allies to dis
lodge the nazi invaders from their latest conquests
would make the allies very definitely the underdog
for the rest of the war. "Too-Late" Chamberlain's
blockade would not be worth a damn, and in general
the scales would have to tip in favor of Hitler. Not
only would his regime have resources equal to those
of the allies, but in addition he would be aided by
one factor which the leaders of the allied govern
ments do not have, a bit of military intelligence
and a real will to fight The next few days may
well indicate whether the democracies are as deca
dent as they appear to be.

Dean J. E. LeRossignol of the col

the committee has received hun
dreds of reservations from busi

sions this year, Hicks pointed out,
since the western trunk lines state
commission committee will be
meeting in Lincoln at the same
time.
There is also a possibility, he
said, that the National Associa
tion committee on uniform rates
and classification, which is made
up of commissioners from over
the nation, will be represented at
the April 15 meetings.
It was announced Tuesday by
the transportation committee that
J. A. Little, rate counsel for the
Nebraska railway commission, will
head a large group of delegates
from the Western Trunk Lines
Public Commission Committee.
Little is chairman of the commit
tee. W. L. Taylor of Hartford,
Conn., will be in charge of a siz

first success was reached on the
Lincoln theater stage in 1925.
After her ability was recognized
she sang at fraternity and sorority
dances and at various civic af
fairs. When she was 17, Miss Whitney
went on tour with Jack Crawford
and his orchestra, but left to
finish school. After high school
she turned toward the big city,
Chicago, and worked for three
years there with the King's
Jesters.
Her next experience played was
with the Fibber McGee program
