0y sue aecOCl1teo Eteb8s
Spread Of the European War into
scandinavia raised grave concern
in both Government and private
business circles today over the fu-
ture Of United States trade and
investments in Norway, Sweden and
Denmark.
American investments in those
nations were estimated by Com
merce Department experts to total
about $217 ,000, 900. Exports to them.
which have been increasing SUBJ
stantially this year, amounted to
more than $50, 900 900 In 1880.
The export increases this year
were shown by Commerce Depart
ment figures for January and Feb
ruary. In those months Norway
bought 100000 worth of goods
from this country, compared with
$2,955 900 in the same months last
year. Denmark boosted its pur-
chases for the first two months from
1881 900 last year to $4,764, 900 this
year.
Sweden also had expanded its
buying from SO, 0,789, 900 In January
and February, 1889, to 1854, 600
In the same 1910 months.
Further increases had been ex-
pected to result from the recent ex-
tension Of credits to Scandinavia BY
the Export Import Bank.
Jesse Jones, Federal Loan admin.
istrator, when asked what would be
the probable effect on these credits
OF Germany's march into Norway
and Denmark. said that There isn't
anything I can do at this time"
Il do not mean to imply by this"
he added, that 1t will not have any
effect"
Warren Lee Pierson, president Of
the Export-Import Bank, said that
neutrality proclamations that might
be issued by President Roosevelt
would determine largely what, II
anything, the bank did about its
Scandinavian credits.
Very little Of the credits have
been used, he said. Although it
will take several days to get def
mite figures, he said, he was sure
that Denmark had taken up none Of
its $10,000,000 credit; he guessed"
that Norway had drawn about
$500, 900 OF its $4,000 900 credit, and
he believed that Sweden had used
''only q little" of its SIS 900 600
credit.
In addition to these the bank has
also extended credits of $1,000, 900
to Iceland.
The principal products sold to the
Northern countries by the United
States have been automobiles, gaso-
line and other motor fuel, copper,
foodstuffs and machinery Of all
kinds.
For the full year of 1899 exports
to Denmark totaled $23 1882 900 and
imports from Denmark, 1874 900;
exports to Norway, $32, 2,103 900, and
imports from Norway, $21 ,6S7 900;
exports to Sweden. $96, ,661 900, and
imports from Sweden, $42,219, 900.

Real Test Of Arms.
Thus the war moves swiftly and
dramatically into q new and far
more active phase, involving q real
test Of arms between the major
powers: the period Of waiting Is
over, and we shall see in the north
a contest in which both sides have
tremendous stakes-to win or lose.
Whether Sweden will be involved Is
not yet clear. Germany may at
tack her also. or she may come Of
herself to the assistance of Norway.
We recall the rumors current at the
time Of the Russian invasion Of Fin
land Of the possibility that Stain
and Hitler had agreed to divide up
Northern Europe between them
It was German influence which
brought the Finnish war to an end,
an end favorable to Russia; it may
be Russian moves which will be de-
cisive OF sweden's part in this new
struggle.
Probable as 1t Is that the Germans
would much have preferred the
status quo which they achieved by
the Russo-Fnnish peace, they felt
themselves compelled to act when
the allies began their pressure cam
paign against Scandinavia, and
their objectives are such that the
allies must find means to resist them
and quickly. They cannot see Scan
dinavia become German province
without a fight, and a fight We are
most certainly about to see.

following statement on Mrs. Har-

"The American Minister to Oslo,

graphed to the Department of State
that the Foreign Minister has in

fired on four German warships

British Minister to Norway, the
American Legation at Oslo has been
authorized to take over British in
terests in Norway in case he is
obliged to evacuate."
The Norwegian Minister. to the

Department ofncials during the early
morning. Henrik de Kaufman,
the Danish Minister, started back to
the Capital from Charleston, s. c.
The sudden plight Of two Scandi-
navian neighbors shocked the Swed-

opments.

The problem of evacuating Ameri-
can citizens from the new danger
zone is complicated by the uncer-
tainty Of shipping operations In the
heavily-mined area, likely to become
the scene Of major naval warfare at
any moment.
The bulk Of Norway was outside
the limits of the combat zone desig-
mated by President Roosevelt in his
first proclamations under the pres
ent Neutrality Act last November.
The zone extended from a point Just
south OF Bergen, Norway, down
around the British Isles to Spain.
The British Isles, France, Belgium,
the Netherlands and Germany were
in the prohibited area for American
shipping, which had access to
Scandinavia through Norwegian
ports north of the forbidden zone.

land; Norway has seaports- plenty
Of them-on the open Atlantic; sea-
ports from which German subma-
rines and surface raiders could op-
crate with telling effect against the
vital British sea lanes. It is these
ports. and not 50 much the iron ore
shipments from Narvik, which have
induced the Germans to take the
very considerable risks Of extending
the area of the war into the Scan
dinavian Peninsula. Faced with in
creasing British pressure on the
Scandinavian countries, pressure
which threatened to extend British
influence over the whole peninsula,
Germany has struck back, swiftly
and flercely; and If for the moment
1t Is the Scandinavians who seem
to pay the price, nevertheless it is
for Britain q matter of life or death
to prevent a permanent German
lodgment on the Norwegian coast.
Strategic Bases.
Germany Is building submarines
rapidly; she has at present prob
ably $50. She is completing num-
Der OF fast and powerful surface
ships-battleships cruisers, aircraft
carriers. Give all these the advan-
tage Of the Norwegian bases on the
open sea, and they might well strike
such blows at British shipping as to
bring Britain to dire straits. It Is
far easier to watch and blockade
the present short stretch Of German
seacoast on the North Seea than 1t
would be to blockade the whole of
the Danish and Norwegian coasts
as well. Considering the demands
being made on the British Navy BY
the convoy system, the difficulties
thus raised might prove insuper-
able.
Hence, it is absolutely certain the
British are bound to resist the at
tack on Norway with all their power
The Horten base. in the narrowest
part of the Oslofjord. In any war
where Norway and Britain we're al
lied against Germany, would be Of
primary importance to the British
fleet. and its destruction or capture
would be Of corresponding advan-
tage to Germany. If the allies still
have in hand the forces which they
had assembled to help Finland, and
still have any of the shipping for
the Finnish expedition collected,
