THE FLEET PREPONDERANCE
(British Official Wireless.)

EUGBY, April 22
"Whatever the outcome of the cam* paign in Norway may be, it seems certain that this initial stage has been characterised by remarkably good staff work and organisation," says "The Times." "It has also furnished triumphant proof of the value of sea power. The result of the clash in which the Germans may well have hoped to damage our Fleet severely has been, in fact, to cripple their own so that at the moment our relative preponderance is greater than a fortnight ago and we find ourselves in a position to make other use of a proportion of our naval forces - if/the international situation should appear to demand it." ,
