RIPE FOR REVISION
NORWEGIAN REGULATIONS GOVERNING BELLIGERENT PASSAGE. ALLIES TO STOP GERMANY'S ACTS OF WAR. Ry Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, Noon). LONDON, February 20. Discussion on the Altmarck affair centres on Mr Chamberlain’s statement and a French Government spokesman’s flat declaration that the British and French Navies will take all measures to prevent the use of Norwegian waters for belligerent purposes. He added that a halt must be put to Germany's acts of war in Norwegian waters, which German merchantmen are using to avoid the British and French contraband control. He declined to indicate the nature of the Allies’ plans. Meanwhile the Stavanger “Aftonbladet” attacks the Norwegian Government for allowing German ships to pass through Norwegian waters. “War time experience should have taugnt our leaders,” it observes, “that the Norwegian regulations governing the passage of belligerent vessels are ripe for revision.”
