The rehabilitation was ordered,

Rome Says Bombs

Broadcast Call TO.
Young Norwegians

LONDON, March 7. CUP Power
full loud speakers, broadcasting to
the Norwegian population from
W ships, brought hundreds of
young Norwegians to the shores of
the Lofoten Islands to go to Crest
Britain with the British Norweg-
ian force which raided the area, a
Norwegian official said today.
He said that the landing party of
the expedition destroyed at least
two important fish oil plans in the
island instead of the one which the
admiralty had reported.
The Norwegian forces which took
part, he disclosed, consisted of Nor
wegian navy men who had been
trained in Britain for land fighting.
They are part of the Norwegian ex-
peditionary force which is being
trained in this country under Nor
Wegian officers.
when the ships arrived off the
islands loud speakers broadcast to
the local populations that friends
were at hand and that the crews
would be willing to take aboard
any volunteers who would like TO
come to Britain and join the Nor
wegian free forces" the official
said.
Hundreds of young mon i'm
mediately lined up on the shore.
This was the chance of life time
for them and they meant to take
1t.
Our forces we're there several
hours and this allowed the young
men to go to their homes, get
their best clothes and pack up all
they wanted 4 bring away with
them.
Among the patriots, who num-
bered more than 300, there were
only a very few married men. The
others were youngsters who were
all anxious to get into the fighting
services one way or another"
British sources said that the Pc
litical implications of the raid would
almost equal it's military Importance.
The raid, in which the British
captured els Germans and 10
Quilsingites, was regarded here as
likely to discourage Norwegians
from cooperating with the Ger
mans any more than absolutely nee
essary. 1t was considered that pas
sive resistance by loyal elements in
Norway would make more difficult
the effort of the Pro-Nazi Vidkun
Quisling to gain the country's con-
fidence.

BY J. w. L. MASON
United Press War Expert

Following the recall to Berlin \
few days ago of Gen. Eugen OFT,
German ambassador to Japan, re-
ports from Tokyo say Foreign Min
lister MatSuoka is considering going
to Berlin himself, presumably be-
cause of changes in the European
situation which might affect Japan.
1t would be almost unprecedented
for a japanese foreign minister to
proceed to Europe during his term
of office and only serious problem,
would justify such a journey to the
Japanese people.
Two new complications which con-
Germ Japan have occurred in the
European conflict since Germany's
plunge into the troubled Balkan
waters.
The first complication is the dis
turbed relations between Germany
and Russia due to MoscoW's public
ly announced objection to the en-
trance of German troops into Bull
garia. For three nights in success
sion the Moscow radio has broad
cast RusSia'S rebuke to Bulgaria,
which means indirectly a rebuke to
Germany. The japanese must give
serious consideration to this fact.
One of Japans principal reasons
Tor joining the triple alliance was an
Imperial Valley press. (El Centro, Calif.) 1907-current, 1941-03-07

started.
Latest news from Bulgaria were
that German troops were sweeping
southwark through the country in
overwhelming force. Apparently due
to the volume of the movement.
communications with foreign coun-
tries were almost severed.
SubStantiation of the report
would mean, presumably, that Ger
many had made up its mind Cd
that Turkey could not be won over
to the Axis cause; 90 that Greece
had determined to fight on, and
CD that Jugoslavia status had
been settled.
1t had been reported that the
German minister at Athens had
had long conference with Alex
ander Korizis, premier. last night.
1t was reported widely that Jugo-
slavia had decided to announce
this week end and probably tomor-
row a policy Of closer collaboration
with the n-Italian- Japanese
Axis.
An officially inspired statement
reassuring the people was published
today on the first pages of all
Decrying alarmiSt rumors and
promising that the government
would be watchful of the national
interest. the statement was believed
to be designed to put public opin-
ion in a mood TO accept quietly an
that goslavia
would "colloborate' with the Axis.
Immediately under the statement,
in the newspapers, was Berlin
dispatch asserting that German
Jugoslav relations were excellent.

assurance that Germany would per-
suade Russia TO improve relations
with the japanese. Berlin was con-
fldent of it's influence at Moscow
but the plan broke down.
The second complication in the
Balkan situation which Japan cam
not like is Bulgarias adhesion to
the triple alliance with the possible
consequence of British attack on
Bulgaria. Here, again, Japan may
be called upon to play a part in
consistent with her national inter
eSts.
II the British do retaliate against
Bulgaria's aid to Germany then the
Bulgars, under the terms of the
triple alliance, presumably would
be entitled to demand military help
from the Japanese. German pres
sure added to the Bulgarian call
for assistance might we'll insist that
the Japanese attack Great Britain
in the Far East.
Japan is near involvement in
dangerous situation which could
scarcely have been considered when
the Japanese signed the pact with
Germany and italy. Certainly, jap
an has no such interest in Bulgarian
affairs as would justify Tokyo at
lacking the British empire at Sofas
beheSt.
