held and used by the Americans with.
out any remuneration to the owners.
The question has been discussed
In a leader in The Sjoefartstidende
which stated the percentage OF ton.
mage lost by Norway was greater than
that OF any other merchantile feet in
the world. while the total los OF lives
was about per cent OF all Norwegian
seamen. After the services OF Nor.

fact is put at its face value. Because
American confiscation deprives Nor

reminds Norwegian owners thereby

England.
But our American friends. says
