 Be Inierned

OSLO. Feb. 1.-The Norwegian Government has protested to Great Britain's action at entering terri torial waters and removing prison CTS from the Altmark.
 The protest lodged makes de- mand for return Of the prisoners, that compensation be paid and Nor wegian sovereignty be respected in the future.
 It is generally considered that the Altmark will now be informed for the duration of the present war.
 The Altmark is reported still in the thin ice in Gjessing fjord with British war craft lying in wait if she attempts to come out and continue the voyage to Germany.
 No mention is made of the charge of the British that the Norwegian inspection of the Altmark resulted in no prisoners being found aboard, where there were between 300 and 400 seamen locked below decks.

LONDON, Feb. 1.-The British Admiralty announces that British naval craft entered Norwegian ter ritorial waters, battled the crew of the German prison ship Altmark. which was the tender for the sl,nken German pocket battleship Graf Spec, and rescued between 300 and 400 British merchant seamen who were battened below the Altmark's desks.

 The report also says that while the sharp battle was progressing be- tween the Altmark and British naval craft, other British craft saw the German tanker Baldtir nearby. The crew of the Baldur scuttled their ship when ordered to stop. It is said that five Germans and one Britisher were killed in the en- counter between the Altmark and the British naval vessel.
 Prisoners Landed
 The British destroyer Cossack has landed the released British prison CTS from the Altmark at Leith on the Firth of Forth. Ambulances were at the dock.
 Sharp rifle fire ensued when the Cossack entered the narrow fjord and sent boarding party onto the ice to go to the stranded Altmark.
 Norwegians Involved
 Earlier, British craft withdrew when the Norwegians reported the Altmark had been examined at Ber- gen and no prisoners were aboard.

SHOULD WE EXPORT RELIEF!
 CONGRESSIONAL HEADS ACHE
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-Not in a long time has Congress handled such a hot potato as this business of voting loans to Finland and re- lief to Poland.
 The House Foreign Affairs Com mittee holds a hearing around a whopping big table you could gal lop a horse on. Representative Fish of New York and other members bring witnesses to support pro- posal for granting relief money to Poland.
 Ten million Poles,' says Fish literally are starving to death.'
 Such relief, says Fish, who last year enjoyed the hospitality oi German Foreign Minister Ribben- trop, would not be unneutral.
 Who besides you, growls Rep resentative Tinkham of Massa- chusetts, through brackle ot beard, says it is not unneutral?"
 How are we going to keer these relief supplies from falling into the hands of the Germans?" asks Representative Johnson of Texas.
 Representative Sol Bloom, chair man of the committee, reads a letter from Secretary of State Hull which he interprets to mean that the Red Cross has reported nc need of such legislative aid CUTTING RELIEF HERE There is constant harping on the dangers involved in the business of sending money into war territory, even for relief purposes, Momen- tarily the committee pauses while a blondiSh- haired student sOlemnly reads report on. his experiences during the bombardment of War saw. The people, he says, were re- duced to eating horses, pigeons and dogs. In the basement of the Am erican embassy they didn't have even that, he says, just boiled rice
 Vote at least $10,000,000," pleads Dr. B. L. Smykowski of Bridge port, Conn, district chief of a Polish-American relief organiza- ton.
 Back in every members mino is the question of how such a vote will rest among his constituents while he is cutting off farm relief and WPA relief from his owr people during the current economy drive. They are all sympathetic as blazes, but home problems, plu. doubt about this business of send ing money into war areas, make: them hedge.
 In the Senate is even more em- phatic evidence of a mincing. un- certain step about loans to Fin land. President Roosevelt recom- mends congressional authority fol non-military loans to Finland Al |

BERLIN, Feb. IT. Authorized German sources brand the British attack on the Altmark as "one of the most dastardly and swinish &C., tions in history
 The British action, the authorized sources says, would be comparable to a German U-boat entering New York City harbor and boarding the Queen Mary. now anchored there, and lustily shooting down the crew.
 The battling of the Altmark is de- clared to be the grossest violation of international law since the Brit ish bombardment of Copenhagen in 1907.
