States will allow Hollanad to have
foodstuffs for her own use. It is
understood that the export reguIa-
tions issued by the Swedish govern
ment today, the purpose evidently
being to prevent brass, lead, copper,
nickel and other base metals leav-
ing the country will be followed by
similar orders from the other Scan
dinavian countries and Holland. AS
Norway's exports are chiefly fish
and her principal industry shipping,
the hansen mission hopes to arrive
at working agreement with the
United. States similar to that reach
ed with Great Britain, whereby a
certain percentage of the catch may
be exported to Germany in return
for the Norwegian bottoms. Condi-
tions in Norway, DR.. Nansen said are
such that there is practically no
smuggling into Germany. There is
food enough for the present in Nor
way, he said. but unless exports are
permitted from the United States
conditions would be deplorable. No
ships are tied up but are carrying
for the allies with government in
surance at very high rate.

England because the short haul from
English ports would make more
ships available for the longer voy-
age to this country. The Norweg-
ians will agree to carry nothing for
themselves not classed as necessities.

between the Scandinavian countries,
regarding cooperation, their econ

Of keeping together at this time and
a definite agreement was reached
between the governments that they
should act together in external af-
fairs. ....
The Norwegian missions plan of
procedure here is to make known as
nearly as possible Norway's needs
and to arrive at working agree

will take remains to be seen, but in
any event the Norwegians are ready
to promise definitely that nothing
will reach Germany.

made up from America and assur-
ances will be demanded that no
American-produced food is re-ex-
ported or used to supplant food that
is exported.
Quick responses to the notes are
looked for since at present no ship
ments to the neutrals are permitted
to leave American ports and some
OF the countries are badly in need
