London, To-day. The necessity of building. up A Su- periority in the air in Norway 1 the Allies are to overcome the initial ad- vantage gained by the Germans through their treacherous invasion is again stressed by several newspapers.
They emphasize that the campaign will be hard but express no doubt about its successful outcome for the Allles,
The repulse of German attacks northi of Steinkjer is noted as an encouraging factor.
One or two newspapers are eager to hear a statement from Mr. Chamber- lain emphasizing the Governments" de cisions to pursue the Norwegian opera- dit- tions with resolution despite all ficulties.
"The Times" "says:-""The Allies will pass through a stern testing time. · Al- though the invading columns have not yet joined hands with the defenders at
easy Trondheim, it will be no
task to prevent their junction:
"From coast to coast, our command of the sea has secured to the Allied Armies the greater freedom of move- ment, but to extend that treedom: øver the whole area of conflict sea-power must be supplemented by superiority th the air.
"To build up that superiority is, therefore, the underlying necessity of the whole Norwegian' campaign.
"In these circumstances, our soldiers in Norway are faced with an uphill task. That fact has already become patent to the peoples of the Allied coun- tries, but they have shown that they are in no wise daunted.
"During last week, more especially when the news was unfavourable, it was apparent that that atmosphere of deep- ening determination which is always felt in England when difficulties are ahead was most clearly seen to be for- midable."
The Daily Telegraph" also stresses --the difficulties confronting the Allies in Norway, and, after observing that the power of the Allied Navles to in- will terrupt German communications remain one of the major features of the campaign, goes on?---
"We are far-from the end yet.

"The utmost effort that the Allies can develop by sea, land and air will be needed to punish the German outrage on Norway, with the crushing defeat that it deserves."—Reuter. '.
