The ex- port of these articles from Norway is forbidden, as the country is in need of them- The country's supply of grain. including the coming crop. is sufficient until September if none is exported The embargo on American oil would hit Norway especially hard, as the fishing fleet uses oil-driven motors Unless the United States per- mits exports to Norway under special licenses forbidding export from this country. all of Norway will soon be on the verge of starvation.
