Action in Norway
In Norway, the fighting continued
between the Nazi expeditionary
Jorce and the scattered Norwegian
army. Swedish cable reports tell
of the .stiff resistance of the Norwegians, of the "iron ring" which
they h- -e placed around Oslo, trapping thousands of German troops
in the capital. These reports also
tell of the presence of Swedish and
Finnish volunteers in the Norwegian
ranks. King Haakon, it was said, has
issued his first war proclamation,
urging the people to resist the Germans until help shall arrive.
That such help was on the way
was suggested yesterday in a radio
message of the British broadcasting
company. British strategists, however, are intent upon wiping the
German navy off the seas, completely cutting off the communication of the army in Norway, and
then destroying the trapped Germans with one concentrated attack.
Winston Churchill, new dictator
of England's armed forces, is said
to have planned the mining of Nor
wegian territorial waters to draw the
Germans out of their protective
shelL The Nazi invasion was just
what he wanted, the sources con- tinue; the German army now stands
to lose the several thousand men
which it sent to Norway.
