PASSIVE RESISTANCE
THE NORWEGIAN PEOPLE MINISTER’S DECLARATION (British O&clal Wireless) RUGBY, Dec. 12. • (Received .Dec. 13, at 7.30 p.m.) Speaking at Dundee, Dr Koht, the Norwegian- Foreign Minister, said that during the Norwegian campaign 30,000 German soldiers fell on Norwegian soil, while another 30,000 Germans .met their death .at sea. It seemed ■ almost incredible that against such large German losses the Norwegian losses were only 1500 men on land and 500 at sea. He attributed this to the superior Norwegian marksmanship. The war in Norway was not yet finished, he added, and his people would keep up resistance as long as Germans were living in the country. Passive resistance was going on .in all parts of Norway, even among boys and girls in schools.
