 stories reporting Allied intentions of attacking Norway or Finland.
 Tho obvious purpose of such pro- paganda is to check Allied reaction for Q hint of the plan of attack. However, some feel the German are going further than merely issuing geelers.
 Reconnaissance reports indicate the bulk of the Mad fleet is consen. trated at Narvik and Norwegian ports eouthward. The fleet sup. posedly is assembled to repel any Allied invasion attempt.
 The same thing has occurred in south Europe. The Naxis are propa- gandizing about their defenses there, begging for q hint at Allied plans. For the past wek tine emphasis has swung toward Scandinavia. The Nazis have taken e strong line with Sweden which would be useful as grounds for invasion, presumably Q possibility if the Maxi high com. inand thought it necessary Co coun. ter Allied blows.
