BLOCKADE OF NARVIK.
NAZI COMMENT. (From Daventry.) A communique of the German High Command admits that strong British, naval forces have blockaded the harbour entrance of Narvik. One German newspaper warns its readers that the .British Navy is strong, and that when an attack comes it will be conducted with the firmest determination, but it sees consolation in that the British hope is based on the Navy, whereas the air force is really the important factor. It states that the German war fleet has the backing of the strongest enforce in the world, but it omits to mention that half the German fleet has already been sunk. The communique does not mention the British naval raid on Narvik on Saturday.
