NorwaY's Neutrality
Violations by Reich
May Spread War
Allies Give indications
They Will Not ToIerote
Condition Much Longer
BY PERTINAX.

PARIS, Jan. 13 (N.AN.A.-By
Radio).-The defeat suffered by the
Red Army on the Finnish frontiers
Is commonly believed to have re-
moved all possibilities of conflict
far away from Swedish and Nor
wegian frontiers. However, it is
not certain that before long another
cause of international disturbances
will not begin to tell in that part
Of Europe.
From the outset of the war the
German Navy and aviation have
continuously been very active in the
territorial waters of Norway. They
have not duly respected that coun-
try's neutrality within the 3-mile
limo prescribed by international law.
Tsee watchfulness and daring spirit
Of the sea and forces of the Reich
have shown they can easily be ac-
counted for. The $4,000, 900 tons of
iron ore extracted from Swedish
LApland and exported abroad (about
four-fifths of that amount has gone
to Germany of late years. are being
carried either across the North Sea
or across the Baltic.
North Sea Transport Easier.
But the transport across the North
Sea proves to be much easier and
shorter and cheaper. Besides, from
November to April, the Swedish port
OF Lulea, in the Gulf of Bothnia, Is
ice bound. Therefore, two-thirds of
Germany's imports of iron ore and
practically all the British consign-
ments OF the same raw material are
handled In the Norwegian port of
Narvik and make use of the North
Sea.
The ships loaded with iron ore,
purchased by Germany, keep closely
to the Norwegian coastline. The
German navy and air forces protect
that traffic and, in addition, are in
structed to intercept or even to sink
the cargoes consigned to English
buyers.
Moreover, a new mission evolves
by now upon those warships and
fighting planes-to stop the war
material forwarded to Finland from
beyond the sea.
For a long time the attention of
the British and French govern
ments has been called to that state
OF affairs, and all the indications
available are that they do not in
tend to put up with it much longer.
Either all the belligerents will re-
Train from performing any warlike
deed in the territorial waters of
Norway or all the belligerents will
engage in warlike operations.
Norway Practically Helpless.
Normally, it would devolve upon
the Norwegian government to keep
the scales even between Germany,
on the one side, and Great Britain
and France, on the other, and to
impose its rules of neutrality on all
concerned. But since the Nor
wegian government is practically
helpless in the matter and most
Unfair discrimination obtains in
practice, no other course is left open
to the British and French govern
ments but to take the law into their
own hands to conform with the ex-
ample set by Germany and to in
struct their sailors and airmen to
act accordingly.
Therefore, German trade will be
fnterfered with in the same man.
ner as British and French trade.
and probably with more far-reach-
Ing results, as no British or French
interests are comparable to German
interests represented by the Swedish
IRON ore, so much needed by the
war factories in the Reich.
