People of Norway Believed at First
That They Would Be Favored With
Lifting of the Embargo Because OF
Special Friendship of the United
States.

Correspondence of Associated Press)
Christiana, Norway. Nov. 22.-The
food situation in Norway has grown
from bad to worse, especially since
the American embargo was imposed.
So long as the commercial relations
could be maintained between Norway
and the United States. the import OF
food was about big enough to meet
the consumers demand. Except Tor
the steadily increasing prices OF all
articles of food. everything could be
bought as before, the only form OF
rationing being sugar, which could
only be bought from government
stores two pounds at a time.
AS a matter of fact, the govern
ment, and especially the food minister,
had been too optimistic. When Ca
Diagrams from Washington stated
that the American government was
goin gto place an embargo on differ
ent articles, the answer from the Nor
wegian government to the pass, ask
ing how this would affect Norway,
was that it only meant that Norway
should guarantee that nothing would
be re-exported to Germany, and that
Norway would get all it needed.
At last during the last two months
it has dawned on the government that
Uncle Sam means business and that
Norway cannot expect special favors
as a favorite friend.
