was the second largest in the world. It totaled- 6319 ships, totaling 7,672,649 tons. Today, figures show a loss in less than five months—through Jan. 31 ~—of more than 80 ships making up 225,000 tons, and the war trade shows no indication of offsetting the loss.

Both Sides Sink Ships

As Scandinavian newspapers have pointed out, the nature of Scandinavian imports makes it imperative for them to continue their prewar commerce with both countries, equally for needed imports and for the means with which to pay for them. Se > Germany, however, is crippling shipping to England and France by submarine and plane, -and secret, mine-fields ‘laid by both sides have ‘taken additional toll. : England and France, on the other hand, have cut off the heavy transit{ trade from abroad which formerly was carried to Germany in Scandinavian bottoms. . The principal item left for Sweden, Norway and Denmark, then, is the export of Scandinavian products to Germany. This trade is confined to the Baltic but is an

important item based on the normal | 9 : 3 ) A ) i se si | i { b L S | CA L IF 0 § 4 !
