Norwegian Press Protests

The Oslo newspaper, the Dagbladet, in its issue of yesterday, comments ironically on a German report that February 15 was a "successful" day for sea warfare, and protests against inquiries into ship sinkings being hela in camera, reveals a special comment tary issued here today.

'The "Handel," referring to its publication of the German official interpretation' of sea warfare, writes: "The German radio broadcast yesterday parts of the article, and presented it as though we had written it ourselves. It was an attempt to gull Germany and the neutrals by the abuse of our paper. In future me cannot see our way to accept ap; explanation from that quarter, ani we shall judge every authoritative German notification from the experience we had with this article."

The same paper, in an editorial comment, describes the Altmark affair as "something which Berlin shrieks out to be a frightful breach of Norwegian neutrality," and sets against it the case of a German trawler's violation of Norwegian fisheries and the disappearance of a Norwegian ship.—Reuter.
