English Worships Brave
Mine Fields to Blockade
German North SEQ Travel

COPENHAGEN. Denmark. March
25. fUP)-British naval forces were
reported by reliable Scandinavian
sources today to be clamping tight
blockade across Germanys shipping
lanes from the North Sea into the
Baltic Sea.
According to these sources. both
the Skagerrak entrance between
Denmark and Norway and the Kat
tegat between Denmark and Swe-
cen were being blockaded despite
the fact that these waters were hea-
Willy mined by the Germans.
A number of British warships were
reported participating in the block
ade. in addition TO submarines which
already have sunk two German
freighters and forced two others
to turn back to Germany.
Scandinavian sources said that
British naval detachments were ac-
tive in the Skaggerak in an attempt
10 interrupt Swedish iron ore ship
menst by way Of the Norwegian port
OF Narylk to Germany. The German
ships must come down the Norweg-
ian coast and enter the Skaggerak
and then the Katme North Sea to
the Baltic
The British attachments, how
ever. also were said to have pene-
trated through the Skagerrak to
point between Skagen, on the north
ernmost tip of Denmark. and the

line from Scandinavia.
They recalled al once that Prime
Minister Neville Chamberlain told
the House of Commons last Tues
day night: we are trying to keep
within the rules of International
law but Germany has alb
solutely forfeited any right to ap-
peal to international law against
any violation of law We might en-
bark ON in order to do any injury
to her" The British navy and air
force were constantly and continu-
ouSly watching Scandinavian waters
TO see if any German WarShipS were
violating them, he said, and added
If we had been able to establish
a single case we would not have
hesitated TO enter those territorial
waters to attack such a ship
1t is the British view that Ger
many has violated international law
by sinking neutral as we'll as Allied
ships without warning whenever and
wherever the opportunity offered
and that its warships have used
neutral waters to keep away from
British warShipS. At the same time,
the British say. Germany is always
prompt to complain in the most
vigorous way against any alleged
technical" Allied infringement OF
international law - infringement
which has not cost either a neutral
or a German life.

Nazi Ore Carriers

PARIS. March 25. UP)-A war

that Allied warships had challeng-

with Swedish ore, off the Danish

been scuttled and one sunk.
Ut was not clear whether one OF
these ships was the Heddernhelm,

some time in the future IN the
Balkans and Near East. At the
moment. Adolf Hitler is putting
strong pressure on Rumania fol
closer economic cooperation with
Germany.
The Allies see a real menace
there. II Hitler can get virtual
control of Rumanias resources
which he is out to do, he will prac-
tically dominate the country and
have virtually free access to the
Black Sea.
Hitlers hand is strengthened by
the active collaboration of Benito
Mussolini, apparently arranged at
the Brenner Pass meeting, and by
the reluctance of Turkey to have
war with Russia.
That Turkey senses the danger
is evidenced by reports from London
that the Turks are trying to per-
Suade britain to enter into more
friendly relations with Russia. The
British, however, are said to have
rejected the idea very coldly.
Turkey apparently is uneasy over
the prospect that Britain may de-
eide that Rumania's sovereignty has
been violated, even though Hitler
does not use actual force, and 60 to
Rumania'S rescue under the treaty
pledging her to defend Rumanias S
neutrality.
1t was the similar pledge to Po-
land that brought Britain into the
war in the first place.
To operate successfully in the
southeast, the British might have TO
disregard the neutrality of the
Balkans and land at Saloniki. as
in the World war. She also might
demand passage through Turkey and
the opening Of the straits to the
Black Sea.
The Turks are keenly aware of
the Allied army Of nearly 100000
men in The Near East, and of steady
relnfortements, including first class
fighting men from Australia and
New Zealand. When the liners
Queen Mary and Mauretania slipped
out OF New York, it was persistently
reported that they would be used
to ferry colonial troops from down
under" up to the Mediterranean
area.
Hence if the total war" which
the British and French governments
have pledged themselves to wage is
10 break out. it seems more likely
to come in the southeast rather
than on the western front.

A new phase OF the war has
emerged in Britain's apparent deci-
sion to enter neutral Scandinavian
waters if necessary to destroy ore
ships and others carrying supplies
to Germany.
The significance Of Britain's
course may be more in a change OF
policy towards neutrals rather than
any real practical effect on the
winning of the war.
British submarines and Warships
may be able to sink some German
vessels and destroy needed supplies
but in about a month the gulf of
Bothnla will be navigable again

danger from British ships.
