Berlin, January s. (UP)
- The Nazi press today
charged the Allied powers
with seeking to establish
Scandinavian bases for action
against Germany and de-
clared that neutral states
must now say whether they
are willing to oppose English
power. politics.
The authoritative newspaper
Nachtausgahe, commenting on Brst-
ish reports that Allied aid would
probably DO given for swedish de-
tense measures, said:
"it hares the intentions OF the

they are not strong enough 70 with

OF the theater Of war TO 6eandina-

said the official news agency.
Help Under Circumstances
The Trankfurter Zeitung said the
western powers had shown within
the last few days that they were
willing 10 help Finland In certain
circumstances.
"This serves as an enticing OUT
look for the western powers 70 exc
tend the war zone, cut German
commerce and secure an area for q

ed the newspaper.
"The plan Is so transparent that
the duties Of northern (Scandinav-
ian) states can hardly appear at
tractive to them. There Is no
ground to believe that leading
statesmen Of Sweden, Norway and
Denmark, who have just stressed
their intention to maintain strict
neutrality, will allow themselves TO
be drawn into o conflict and adven-
ure whose consequences, which
their countries must bear, are by no
means beyond the range Of vision"

Average week benefit amount
paid to Newark's totally unem-
ployed workers was $101S in
March, and for partial unem-
