ALLIED LANDINGS

, NOTHING OFFICIAL YET

KEEPING NAZIS GUESSING

.(British Official Wireless.) EUGBY, April 20. The British public has been greatly impressed by the news that the British and French troops have been convoyed up to the present to Norway without effective interference by the German air force or navy. This achievement is regarded as highly creditable from the point of view of speed, secrecy, and security, and supplies suggestive comment on the German .boast to I dominate the North Sea.

Successive warnings have been made to the public to realise that all reports of British landings must be received with great reserve. It would be contrary to the public interest to make any official statement at present, as this 'could only have "the effect of giving valuable information to the enemy and enabling him to utilise his limited resources in Norway to greater advantage.

The public agrees with the military authorities that there is everything to be said for keeping the Germans guessing as long as possible as to the British intention. The public is well content for the present in the knowledge that the latest thrust of .Nazi aggression has been, and is being, met with effective counter-action by the Allies.
