The "freezing" of Norwegian and Danish balances in this country have "blacked out," for the time being, debt service prospects on most of the Norwegian and Danish dollar bonds, except where the New York paying agents already have the money in hand. For example, it is understood that the paying agent for one of the Danish Government dollar bond issues has the funds to meet coupons that are due tomorrow and has made application to the United States Treasury for a license to make this disbursement. Danish dollar bonded debt is approximately $132,500,000, and that of Norway is about $117,000,000, from which must be subtracted an undetermined amount already re-patrioted.
