Record Total Of

Off To Antarctic

Norway will have more ships
and more men in the Antarctic dur

than any time since the war. 119
whaling boats and 10 processing
ships will participate.
1900 Norwegian whalers,-500
more than last year-will be in the
field, of whom $500 will be in
four British expeditions. The land
station at Husvik Harbor will send
7 boats. No Norwegians will par
ticipate this year in the Russian
"Slava" expedition.
With the season opening Dec.
%, four expeditions have already
left Norway. The processing ship
"Thorshammer" was, the first to
leave. Then followed "Suderoy,"
"Norhvall" and "Thorshavet." One
innovation this year is that the
"Kosmos V" will also do canning
of whale meat, liver paste and
other whale products along with
the processing of the oil.

Joint Scandinavian Action Taken
On Denmark's Refugee Problem

STOCKHOLM their
ENJOYS i'm Washington, London
and Paris the Swedish, Norwegian
and Icelandic Governments have
delivered a communication to the
respective Governments on h e
question of the German refugee
problem, in the Danish South
Schleswig, which was discussed
when the Scandinavian Foreign
Ministers met in Copenhagen last
September.
The communication emphasizes
the special character of the re-

fugee situation in South Schles-
wig, where the number of refugees
at present nearly equals that of
the resident population. The ratio
of the German and the Danish
populations in this area has thus
been entirely changed, and to the
disadvantage of the latter. The
three Governments, it is further
pointed out are full aware of the
great difficulties which have
arisen in connection with the
settlement of a large number of
refugees in Western Germany, as
well as of the endeavors which
have been made to ease the pres
sure of the refugee problem in
South Schleswig. But, as Scandi-
navian sister nations, they share
the anxiety felt in Denmark in
regard to future developments.
In view of this, and since peace
full conditions on Denmark's south
ern border are in the interest of
all the Scandinavian countries
from the point of view of general
security, the three Governments
feel obliged to state that any
measures that may be taken to
ease the pressure on the resident
population in South Schleswig
would be greeted by them with
great satisfaction.
