SWEDEN AND GERMANY

I ANGER AT DEPORTATIONS

LONDON, Dec. 10. The British United Press states that ■about 600 students from Oslo University have been deported to Geimany Nearly 200 other Norwegians ■including 20 professors and a number of policemen have also been deported. The students left lor Germany under conditions of the greatest secrecy. Armed police guards accompanied the special train which took them from the concentration camp at Strafern. to Oslo, where they were hurried aboard ship at the point of the bayonet. So seriously does the Nazi Governor of Norway (Terboven) fear strikes and demonstrations in protest against the deportations that he has forbidden the Norwegian Press to mention that the first contingent has already left. . The German decision to ignore the Swedish Government’s protests against the deportation of the Oslo University students has shocked Sweden, states the Stockholm correspondent of the British United Press. The Stockholm paper “Dagens Nyheter” is demanding the closure of Swedish territorial waters to German merchant shipping and it criticises the Government for failing to back up its protest with concrete measures. The newspaper, nevertheless, expresses the opinion that the stoppage of iron ore exports to Germany is at present impracticable as Sweden is bound by contract until the end of 1944. after which iron ore exports are likely to cease, anyway. Another newspaper carries a cartoon showing a huge clenched fist halting a train laden with goods for Germany. The caption states: “This sort of protest will be understood.” Trade talks between Sweden and Germany will resume in Stockholm to-morrow under these unfavourable conditions.
