Halifax and Reynoud
Deliver Similar Notes

LONDON. April (R.- Official
notes telling Norway and Sweden
firmly where Britain and France
stand aroused a wave of diplo-
matte speculation today on the fu-
ture course of neutrality in those
two nervous Scandinavian countries.
Notes similar in tone were handed
to the ministers of the two countries
last night by Britain's Foreign Sec
retary Lord Halifax and Frances
Premier Paul Reynoud.
Authorized sources said they were
intended "to clarity the allies atti-
tude on different questions, but
gave no other mint of the contents.
May Contain Warning.
Asked whether they could be
termed warning" one informed
British source said that this might
be one Interpretation, and other
diplomatic sources said the allied
attitude on German ore shipments
from Sweden through territorial
waters was defined.
The British Foreign Office said
the notes might be published, but
not without consultation with the
governments concerned.
One source said the possibility
cannot be excluded that Norway
and Sweden also were informed
any further Russian aggression
in Finland would meet allied force
1t was believed that such 'hypo-
thetical questions" probably were
dealt with at some length.
Initiative Seen Allies Now.
The British Press Association
which is close to the government
said the notes were understood tt
refer specifically to the so-called
covered way" through Norwegian
territorial waters which Germany
has been using to elude the allied
blocade.
British asserted that the initia.
tive In the diplomatic and economic
spheres was passing from the Nazis
to the allies who are driving theil
political and commercial campaign
against Germany from the Baltic
to the Balkans.
Britain, meanwhile, registered fo1
national service her 25-year-olc
subjects, 100000 strong, and viii
register the 26-year-olds later ir
the month.
