Stockholm, Jan. 2.-The Svenska

an agreement has been reached under
which 1900 tons CT necessities,

War Nearer Than Ever for Norway.
Christiania, jan, with the be-
ginning of the new year the Norwe-
gian newspapers are discussing the
foreign political situation in general,
and especially the problem as to how
an understanding with the United
States regarding food exports to Nor
way can be reached. A system of
strict rationing as regards flour,
bread, sugar and coffee was put into
effect today with the prospect that
lessened ration might be necessary two
months. hence.
The government warned the nation
thru the clergy at the New Y ear serv-
ices that suffering and danger were in
store for it during the coming year
and called upon the people to show
resignation and practice frugality. as
the food supply was poor while the
chances of Norway being drawn into
the war were greater than before. The
newspapers criticised the government
for Withholding information as to
whence the danger threatens.
The AftenpoSen remarks that the
government probably has an especial
reason for taking this attitude, but

BILE if the vital interests of the nation

If war is inevitable, declares the

gether no matter what differences ex-
listed before. What is characterized
as the governments "unjustifiable
optimism" is criticised as having kept
the nation from being informed how
critical the food situation had grown
The Morgenbladt considers the
prospects brighter as the New Year
opens but says Norway must reckon
upon the wa being fought out to the
bitter end and that the main question

received and is being considered by

favorable solution, the newspaper
points out, and it cites America s
