- Nazi Force in Norway Believed fo Exceed Allies’ by 3 to 1 Germans' Prestige Gains Enormously as Foes Suffer Loss By LELAND STOWE, Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent OSTERSUND, Sweden, April 30 (By Radio).—Three weeks after| Germany'’s invasion of Norway the allied expeditionary force on Nor- | wegian soil is believed to be less| than 25000 men, even taking into account the disembarkation of new | troops reputedly effected the last| three days. It appears almost certain that the Nazis’ army of occupation—far better equipped and backed by strong air forces installed in all| Norway airports—is still double the Anglo-French forces and may pos- | sibly outnumber them almost three | to one. This means that the Western powers are facing the most hazard- ous campaign and may yet find it too costly to attempt a real coun- ter invasion anywhere south of ‘Trondheim. In any case, unless| the allies are going to confine them- selves to holding ingloriously a line from Namos, across Norway's thin upper waistline, they'll be forced to embark on a prolonged military | venture. Two Choices for Allies. Most observers agree on this: | Either the allies will have to abandon to the Germans virtually all stra- tegic and productive Norway from | Trondheim southward or must swift- | lv organize an expeditionary force of at least 100.000 men—perhaps eventually more than 200.000. That would mean a long and difficult summer campaign. But for London and Paris the only choice seems abandonment of all Scandinavia either to Nazi possession or economic domination. This threatens to be the heavy price of the allies’ lack of military organization, lack of audacity and persistence in playing safe while the Germans take startling risks and willingly accept serious losses in order to gain their objectives. In Norway the contrasts are the most striking. In exactly three weeks | the British have landed and ad- vanced a few thousand troops about 60 miles from Andalsnes to the vicinity of Dombas. Together with the French they have placed several ! thousand men near Namsos above | ‘Trondheim. In the same period the | high-geared Germans have shot mo- torized columns over thousands of miles of roads and have clinched their hold on virtually all of Norway that counts. Psychological Advances. The Germans have made brilliant military gains. But psychologically, £o far as both the Norwegians and Swedes are concerned, their gains | are even more important. In both these countries the British have suf- fered a catastrophic loss of prestige while the Nazi regime has gained enormously. If the allies had put a big imposing force into Norway during these three weeks, Sweden might have adopted at least an extremely benevolent neutrzlity to the British and French. Any inducements in that direction are now exceedingly slender, if not impossible. for reasons of geography &nd immediate Swedish self-interest. The allies are now faced by the cold fact that Germany has won | the entiretv of Sweden’s export products, as well as being assured ' of its supply of Swedish iron ore— unless the Anglo-French expedi- tionaries are able to cut across Cen- tral Norway very soon. Since such | & development seems improbable for & time to come, the stream of Swed- ish foodstuffs and all kinds of sup- | plies has been completely defiectedi to Germany. This hard reality may | Yyet compel the allies to launch a| large-scale, energetic campaign in| Norway, despite the serious obstacles which intervene. Norse Do Not Want to Fight. But the French and British will not have a fighting people rallying | to their support in Norway. The | attitude of a great many Nor- | wegians is summed up in the re-| mark of one man who declared | frankly: | “We do not want to lose our lives. ‘We will keep ourselves aside as well as we can and leave the rest to the English.” This feeling is very wide- | spread, and those Norwegians who’ want to fight represent a gallant | but definite minority. From every angle, the allied pros- pects in Norway are far from en- | | e == - SPECIAL NOTICES. | I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY | bills or debts contracted for or by any one | other than mysel{.

C, TUESDAY, Germany Alfers Plan To Take Sweden; Plays on Neutrality Events in Norway Believed to Make New Bases Unneeded By PERTINAX. PARIS, April 30 Radio) —A change has been de- tected during the last few days in Germany's plans concerning Scan- dinavia. night ago the German Minister in Stockholm requested the Swedish government to allow the German high command to use Swedish ter- ritory to send supplies to the Ger- man troops fighting in Norway and, in addition, to avail itself of Swed- en's telephonic and telegraphic lines. That demand was firmly re- jected by the Swedish authorities, but indications were at hand that it would be put forward again in the near future. As a matter of fact, the demand has not been renewed. And the in- teresting feature to be recorded is that, far from resenting the Stock- holm cabinet’s refusal, the German government takes great care to treat it gently. For instance, the German “White Book” that Foreign Minister { von Ribbentrop himself distributed | to the diplomatic corps and to the foreign press bestows great praise upon the manner in which Sweden ligations as a neutral, The Swedish Minister in Berlin had lodged complaints to the Wil- helmstrasse last week about the flights of German airplanes over Swedish territory. helmstrasse a surprisingly courteous note reached the Swedish Ministry ot Foreign Affairs last Saturday.

For a decade we have had either depression or near depression. The major cause of this for seven years has been political and still is. Opportunism, fanciful economics, threats, incon- sistencies and the assumption by our Federal Government of an ever - expanding authority have kept this Nation in a slough of despond. I make these statements with no partisan connotations. It is quite evident that both parties con- tain many fine public servants. Unity “Our First Defense.” Charles E. Wilson, president of the General Electric Co., declared that confidence and unity among Government, industry. commerce, labor and agriculture are “our first defenses” against the uncertainties raised by the new World War. The average American, he de- clared, “contused by conflicts be- tween battling limited interests and by the suspicions cast upon all busi- ness by the sins of a few,” wants to be assured that business will co- operate with and support “all the| agencies of Government in the exer- cise of their legitimate functions”; work out a “sound and well-defined policy” and provide fair treatment to every customer. Millions of man hours of work await the return of confidence, he asserted, in the electrical industry alone. | “From this work, on the full scale freedom from fear will inspire, mil- | lions of dollars of new consuming power will flow,” he explained.

They are tired of government under which for eight has stood still.” Lewis Speaks at Luncheon. ‘William Mather Lewis, president of Lafayette College, Easton, Pa. declared at a luncheon forum in the Mayflower that “little tyrants in our business and labor organizations” have the same point of view as dictators in Europe. “The latter criticize the former for high-handedness; for racial preju- dices, for suppressing fredeom of speech, and still use the same tac- tics,” he declared. \However. even in peacetime, | Lewis found something lacking in the modern approach to education. The reactionary is as much a men- ace to American progress as radical, he declared. He decridd overemphasis on specialization in every branch of human activity, whether it be medicine, banking or ‘lplumbmg. He advised students in outlook. Man must get away from the classified jobs and the classified preparation if unemployment is to be cured, he said. “Far too many college graduates throughout the world use their knowledge merely to lift their own level of prosperity.” he said. “Thus the seats of the mighty are occu- | pied by those who want to prove that the end justifies the means.” Utley Addresses Forum. S. Wells Utley, presideat of the Detroit Steel Castings Co., told the Mr. i the | America to take a more-inclusive ing place within science and the problems still facing it which, when solved. will be of great value to in- dustry. The grave consequences of war upon American foreign trade and pthe problems that will arise after the peace were outlined last night before the International Chamber | of Commerce at the Mayflower Hotel by Dr. Paul Van Zeel#ad ®former Prime Minister of Belgium and an authority on economics. * It may become necessary for the !

Wright, commissioner of labor, is- sued a report in which he declared that the last economic frontier had vanished.

But, he added, the government must keep its hands off. and not handicap business with taxation, debts and “intrusive” regulations. Sees Taxes as Stimulant. Heavy taxes, high costs of doing business, artificial restrictions on wages and hours and “other factors that plague modern Americans,” may be blessings, Frank B. Jewett, president of the Bell Telephone Lab- oratories, Inc., said. They stimuate efforts to invoke scientific methods of overcoming these obstacles, he added. He pointed out that it was the universal practice of scientists to “fight like tigers” among themselves over theories but that once a fact was established, peace reigned and the struggle was forgotten. It might be possible, he hoped, to adopt this scientific practice to the struggles of mankind. Harrison E.
