italian trade mission here caused
widespread speculation in foreign
diplomatic quarters as to Italy's
motives in seeking an increased
share of Rumanan exports-at the
moment when either Germany or
the British-French allies have con-
tracted for nearly everything.
Most informed circles held the
belief that Italy was seeking to
nudge out Germany and resell Ru-
manian goods in world markets for
gold.
Reich Protest Expected.
A German protest appeared likely
following Rumania's announcement
of railway freight rate increases Of
IL to 40 per cent on all exports
except grain.
1t was understood Germanys OBJ
jections would be made known later
this week, when DR.. Karl Clodius,
German economic negotiator, ar
rives to deal with the sharp contro-
versy over Rumania's recent ban on
shipment Of high-grade gasoline
and lubricants to Germany-supplies
urgently needed on account of the
war.
The freight rate increases comph-
Gated Germany,s difficulties over
Rumanian trade, particularly since
the Danube is frozen and the Reich
is wholly dependent at present on
rail transport of supplies from
Rumania.

Two Nazi Ships Sunk

~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERGEN, Norway, Feb. 27.-Re-
ports received here from the North
ernmost tip Of Norway credit Brit
ish-French warships with sinking
two German vessels near the Arctic
coast Of Finland.
The reports, from Vardoe, so
miles northwest Of Finland's Pet
samo Fjord, said the ships had been
sunk In the Petsamo vicinity, but
did not say whether they were war
ships or merchantmen, and gave no
details of the action.
Stormy weather kept fishing boats
from docking today at Vardoe with
details of the encounter. Fisher
men who came into port yesterday
with reports of the clash said a con-
siderable number Of war vessels
mostly British-were cruising in
nearby waters.
I'm Berlin. German official
sources issued a denial that two
German ships had been sunk by
allied blockading forces in Arctic
Waters)
Presence in the Arctic of q. Brit
ish naval squadron Of undetermined
strength was confirmed last week.
Press reports said French warships
also were on hand, apparently in q
move to blockade shipping from
Soviet Russia to Germany.
The Petsamo district shore now
is in hands Of the invading Russian
Army.
Soviet and Morse Coasts Near.
At this point the coasts of Russia
and Norway are only a few miles
apart. To the East is the Russian
port of Murmansk, where q number
Of German merchant ships took
refuge last fall. Several of them,
including the liner Bremen, later
sailed down the Norwegian coast
and reached Germany.
The identity of any remaining
German ships at Murmansk is not
known.
If the newly-reported sinkings
occurred in Norwegian waters, Nor
way might be confronted by another
neutrality threatening case similar
to the Altmark incident.
After a British naval boarding
party removed 299 British seamen
from the German prison ship Alt
mark in Norwegian waters Febru-
ary Is, the British and French de-
clared German ships were using
Norway's waters to avoid the allied
blockade.
Subsequently, the Allied warships
took up their Arctic patrol.
Nazi Steamer Sunk.
The 4,354-ton German steamer
Orizab, in service only nine months.
was reported last night to have
struck a shoal and sunk at Skier
voy, near Hammerfest, Norway, ITS
miles west of Vardoe. There was
nothing to indicate war action
might have sunk her.
(The German Orizaba is not to
be confused with the American
vessel of the same name which
brought to the United States
number of survivors of the
Athena disaster at the start Of
the war;
The Norwegian Telegram Agency
reported the Finnish freighter Mar
gartha, had saved IS men from the
Orizaba. The Margartha was said
to have tried to assist the German
ship, but was prevented from doing
so by a dense fog. When the fog
lifted, the Orizaba had sunk.
The ship was one Of six which on
February 13 were reported trying
to run the blockade from Spain to
Germany. Two fell into allied
hands and another was reported
scuttled.

Seized by Yugoslav
Secret Police
Extremists Accused
Of PIonting Bombs
And Incitine Riots
~ the Associated Press.

ZAGREB, Yugoslavia, Feb. 81
Secret police arrested 80 Croat
Separatist leaders today and
charged them with plotting to
break up Yugoslavia.
The men were accused specifically
of melting riots and planting bombs
which exploded in many parts OF
the city.
They were identified by police as
followers of DR.. Anton Pavelich,
head of the Ustachi (Croat secret
extremist organization, blamed for
the assassination of King Alexander
at Marseille in October. 1884.
Two of the arrested men were
identified as DR.. Milan Budak and
DR.. Stephan Buc, reported lieu
tenants of Pavelich, who is living
in Italy.
The arrested men are opponents
Of the Croatian Peasant Party
leader, DR.. Vladimir Machek. They
have attacked Machek for working
in agreement with the Serbs and
have insisted Croatia must be COM
pletely independent.
Buc has declared publicly the
Croats are not Slavs like the Serbs,
but are of Gothic origin, and there
fore should accept German national
socialism.
The bomb explosions occurred the
evening of February "a while the
Italian minister, Giuseppe Bottai,
was in Zagreb. The bombs were
planted in public telephone booths,
but no one was injured.
Pavelich has been living in Italy
since a French court convicted him
Of completely in the assassination
Of King Alexander. He never was
arrested, but was tried by proxy.
The kings assassination came
shortly after he had disembarked
from liner on a goodwill journey
to France. The killer fired a num-
Der of shots into the kings carriage.
