in Berlin had proof of the German
intention of invading Norway one
week before the invasion took Lace.
1t was known at the legation that
ships already at that time had left
for Norway with troops and sup
plies. The German authorities, how
ever, assured the Norwegian lega-
ton that the intention was not to
attack Norway.
The fact that no English war
ships We're in Norwegian harbors at
the time of the invasion is the best
proof hat the English had no inten-
ton of invading Norway. A better
proof is the fact that the first Brit
ish landing in Norway took place
nine days after the German invasion.
Hambro said the British navy was
"tragicallv absent when the Ger

found in Norway, he declared, would
prove the absolute unwillingness of
Norway to be dragged into war;"
when the Norwegian govern
ment refused transit to British
troops to Finland, it was not pri,
marily on account of Russia, but
partly for fear that such transit of
troops would be a violation of the
neutrality proclaimed by Norway in
the great war" he added, and part
ly in the feeling that the presence
probably result in Germany attack
ing Finland, which would have put
Finland in an impossible situation.
And when the Norwegian govern

the Swedish answer was known to
the Norwegian government, it was
in c deep-rooted feeling in Norway
that if the worst should happen Nor
way and Sweden should not be in

This was the only basis of any
fears we might have had on getting
into war on the wrong side
German Foreign Minister Joachim
Won Ribbentrop charged yesterday
that this caution not to get into

FOES OF LABOR LAW
CHANGES PREPARE
FOR VOTE TODAY
(Continued From Page One)

house labor committee is sponsor
ing another bill which would ex-
empt these activities from the
hour provisions for limited periods
of the year.
Both sets of amen .ents would
exempt certain White-collar work
ers and employment in Puerto Ri
co and the Virgin Islands.
The question of farm appropria-
tons will come up in the house
again Tuesday because of failure
of a senate-house committee to
compromise differences in the
bills passed by the two bodies.
The senate and house c%onferees
agreed on items totaling about
S615, 900, 900, but disagreed on three
big items on which the house Will
vote separately.
They are s212, 900, 900 for parity
payments, so5, 900, 900 to increase
funds for surplus commodity re-
moval and $50, 900, 900 for farm
tenant loans. None of these items
was in the original house bill.
While the house debates the pro-
posed wage-hour changes the SEN
ate will turn to consideration OF
legislation clarifying the power
of President Roosevelt to freeze"
assets of Danish and Norwegian
nationals in the United States. Lit
tie controversy is expected over
the bill itself, but republicans
have proposed an amendment to
repeal the emergency monetary
powers granted to President
Roosevelt in 1888. Administration
leaders said there would be no diff
ficulty in defeating the amend
ment bu: considerable debate on
it expected.
Later in the week, the senate
may consider a proposal by Sen
ator Townsend CR-Del.) to repeal
legislation authorizing the treas
Try to purchase foreign silver.
The wage-hour amendments
grew out of dissatisfaction on the
part of some producers and pro-
cessors with the definition by the
administrator of the term "area
of production in which congress
d e clared agriculture workers
should be exempt. Both the labor
committee and Barden proposed
to write specific exemptions into
the law, SO that no discretion
would be left to the administrator.
The labor department has esti-
mated that the present total of
1863, 200 workers exempt from the
+ r standards would be raised to
1857, 400 under the Barden bill and
to 1,433, 900 under the labor CON-
mittee bill. The statisticians said
that the current total of 256, 900
workers exempt from the statu-
to-. wage levels would be ~increas-
ed to 1,103, 900 and 273, 900, respec-
lively, by the two proposals.

This is in the vicinity of one of
the three original mine fields, the
laying of which was announced on
April 8, the day before Germany
invaded Denmark and Norway.
The new fields, however, are much
broader, and are situated south
east and northeast of the LofOten

The text of the communique:
"A further enemy attack upon

On the home front, Britons
counted on their planes to turn

WatchWord of the week end, as
echoed in the press, was keep

The newspapers schooled the
public in the unavoidable pitfalls
of the northern campaign, en-
p%hasizing the Allies early lack of
organized air bases in Norway and
the difficulties of working through
ports that are not equipped to land
heavy guns and supplies.
Professional strategists we're
unanimous in recognizing suprem-
acy in the air as the key to the
present situation.
Paralleling their explanations
were the words of Air Minister Sir
Samuel Hoare:
To-day our wings are spread
over the Arctic. Today they are
sheathed in ice. Tomorrow the sun
Of victory will touch them with it's
golden light"
The newspapers generally
sought to cushion the impact of
Allied Withdrawals" of the last
week by showing what the British,
French and Norwegian forces are
up against.
