Provides Interchange
The Tacoma Bonneville agree
ment in its major sense is purely
an agreement to be mutually help
full to each other by supplying
power when one or other party
may require 1t Through some fail
ure Of its own system.
Up to so million kilowatt hours
may thus be exchanged before
either party is billed for any

amount of power in interchange,
Tacoma or melville would
charge for the additional amount

In a spectacular side show to
the battle, the 5,so5-ton German
Baldur, cornered offshore by
the British destroyer Ivanhoe, was
scuttled by her crew-''in German
fashion," as the British admiralty
put it.
The British foreign office recelv-

over Norwegian failure to find and
release the British prisoners during
a search prior to last nights Incl
dent. This failure, it was said, LEFT
Britain no alternative but to take
matters into its own hands and
free the captives.
An admiralty communicate, de-
scribing the board of the Altmark
in stilted, official language, said
shots were fired by both sides and
asserted the boarders found two
pom pom guns and four machine
guns on the Altmark. 1t also de-

the day creating bitter feelings
in the populace OF the community
against the Norwegian authorities
for permitting them to be ashore
but the government tonight said the
whole crew of about 100 men was
back aboard.
Leaped To Ice
Some of the crew had leaped to
the water or ice in last nights
fight but the British abandoned the
vessel to the regular crew after
freeing the prisoners.
The Norwegian admiralty in a
detailed account of last night
events said the Altmark was pro-
ceeding within Norwegian territor-
iaI waters and with a Norwegian
varship guard when British war
ships came up despite protests that
Norway's neutrality was being vio-
lated. :

Demands Compensation
Norway receiving a strong pro-
test from the German government
demanding repair Of damage ana
compensation and warning OF "a
most serious situation which coulo
have the most severe consequent
ces.'
In Berlin, despite the stern ma
ture of the protest to Oslo, OIL
Gals expressed a measure OF satls-
faction with the manner IN whlch
Norway had acted toward London.)
Premier Johan Nygaardsvold took
the extraordinary step Of going to
the British legation personally to
lodge Norway's demand for return
of the freed British seamen, COM
p~ensation and for respect of Nor
ways neutrality in the future.
But even as she protested. Nor
way found herself confronted with
the British admiralty's declaration
that the British warships which
stalked the Altmark had full au-
thority of his majesty's government
to enter the neutral waters
On the other hand, Norway's I'M
~dersecretary of foreign affairs, Jens
Bull. issued a statement that "ac-
cording to international rights, for
eign commercial ships n even
warships have the right of inno-
cent passage in neutral territorial
waters when they submit to GER
tain rules which include that they
do not call in ports except under
certain circumstances, and there
are no reports that the Altmark
acted against these rules"
New Complication
ELSEWHERE in Scandinavia the
Altmark incident was seen as a
new complication involving Scan
dinavia generally at a time when
the question Of military aid for
Finland has become a grave issue
in Scandinavian efforts to safe
guard neutrality
Five of the Altmark's crew were
dead and five were suffering from
serious wounds as a result of the
fight when British from the Cos
sack boarded her in the darkness.
British warships meanwhile were
reported patrolling the waters out
side Gjessingfjord on the chance
she might try to steam away-but
marine authorities considered it I'm
likely that the Altmark could
reach navigable waters under her
own power.
