DETERMINATION OF NORWAY
The Norwegian Government in a statement said that the war will go on until the usurpers are hurled out of the country. The Germans are waging the war without respect for international law. Bombers have devastated defenceless villages and towns which are not militarily equipped and cannot be regarded as military objectives. Members of the Government saw the Germans firing on civilians who took
no part in the fighting. The Germans claim that during the past two days five British cruisers and 13 transports have been sunk, but there is not the slightest truth in these assertions. The Germans’ attempt to make it impossible for British vessels to use the waters off the Norwegian coast has met with very little success. Latest reports state that more British troops have successfully landed at Aalesund.
