diate Allied invasion of Norway
from the west as means OF break
ing Hitler's power in the north and
saving the country from total de-
struction was urged tonight by Nor
wegian Prime Minister Johan Ny
gaardsvold.
Calling upon every Norwegian to
hamper in some way the Nazis'
northern garrison, he warned that
every German soldier who escaped
to the south would help lengthen
the war.
Nygaardsvold, broadcasting a
Christmas message to his home
land, declared that h Germans
may attempt to transfer some dlvi-
sions from the north to other fronts
where they are sorely needed.
The Norwegian leader disclosed
that his government already had
pointed out to Allied leaders argu-
ments favoring an Allied invasion
of Norway, declaring there was a
definite necessity for it now.
1--WE ourselves" he said, are
not strong enough to make such an
attack with Norwegian forces
alone. We must have help from the
Allies.
I'VE considered it our duty to i'm
press upon these (Allied leaders

tartan considerations and the mill
