the German allegations that Norvegian Commander, General Ruze, is kept a prisoner on board British ship are refuted by an authoritative statement issued in London.

The allegation that from this ship the English sent out a call to the Norwegians urging them to fight on is also refuted.

There would be no relaxation of their effort until the Germans were defeated, but victory alone could not save their people. Only the patient and constructive statesmanship of France and Britain could establish lasting pence.

This was so despite the higher risks to which the R.A.F. and Fleet Air Arm were inevitably exposed during the Nurwegian campaign.

British losses on all fronts are shown to have totalled 48 machines. Nazis Lose 200 Machines Germany, on the other hand, computed to have lost for certain 138 planes, while as many as 67 others have been completely probably destroyed or put out of action for some time.

These Agures are based on Air Ministry and Admiralty announce ments, authoritative reports in neu tral and Norwegian Press and news agency, and newspaper dispatches received in London.

To these figures must be added the machines destroyed on the ground or at sea during British raids on Ger- man air bases in Norway. Of these losses, only the Germans know.
