Favourable Comment
By Neutrals
LONDON, May 2 (Reuter)-- Brussels papers admit that the Germans have obtained Import- ant successes in Norway, but whereas some of them suggest that these are decisive, others take a more objective view.
Many papers pay tribute to the British press for his honest realism and point out that the British pubile supports -tidings better than any other.
The "Nation Belge" says that Ger- mun losses at sea are undoubtedly heavier than those of the Allies.
Raids Becoming Rare
The "Meuse says: "It is notablo that the German attacks in the North Sea are becoming rare and raids on British bases are exceptional. This proves that the Scandinavian efforts are heavy for the Reich. They seem to cost 500 tons of oil dally without counting about 40 transports sunk In the short Interval, constituting a Kerious loss of tonnage, arms, provisions and men."
Judgmont Suspended

military circles here because of the start the Germans obtained.
For some time past the opinion has been expressed these quarters that the German Norwegian cam- paign was in the nature of a decoy. The refusal the British to fall into this trap despite the adverse effect such a decision might have on public

Rumours have been current in diplomatic circles since the Scan- dinavian invasion that not only was it a prelude to an Italian drive in the Mediterranean area agreed upon at the Brenner meeting between Hitler and Mussolini, but also that Hitler might attempt to heller Nape- icon by staging raid on England herzelt through Holland:

Mr. Chamberlain's speech helped to correct the impression of a German success due to emelency by emphasising German treachery and violation of International stan dards of conduct.
