NORWAY'S FOOD WILL LAST FOR THREE MONTHS

Railroad Workers to -Strike for More Wages First of September. ; CHISTIANIA. Norway, July 21, (Correspondence ot The Associated Press.) As far as the food problem Is concerned, Norway has been In a better condition than the other two Scandinavian countries and, although the public more than a year ago asked that it be put on rations of sugar, flour and potatoes, the government has not yet tound it necessary. At present everybody can obtain all he needs of foodstuff if he is able to pay the high prices The government and the municipalities are trying to help by paying a certain part of the excess prices eo that the laborer, for Instance, has been able to buy milk, bread, fuel, pork and some other reticles ot food at prices not mucu higher than under normal circumstances. As his wages have been raised ficm 40 to 100 percent in the last three years the high cost of living Is felt less by the laborer than by people working on a fixed salary in tlw sfrr ice of the state or cities. These public employers nae not made the salaries follow the increased cost of living. The result is that it has come to a crisis for the civil servic.; young well fitted men resign their -o-ritions for better places with privr.te employers and the work in tne governmental departments is crippled. Railroaders to Strike. All railroad employes, from station agents to the laborers, have resigued their places and will walk out September 1, declaring their wages aro too low for a decent living. It the government does not yield to the demand for tetter salaries a request unanimously supported by almost the whole press of the country, the railroad service over the whele country will be stopped September 1As Norway, except tn 6ome branches, is unable to proauce toi- enough tor the use of her cwn people, an embargo has been placed on nost kinds of fooo. Hardly a pauti . of butt-r is exported now, no potato?, nor flour. T-nported articles like siwir and cofJce, under an agreemoa with the sclll. aic not exported. I Sn .egling or the otpoilit.cn )f emtfurgoed goods has bem; punished to tnr. f-Jll extf-nl of the la .vs. t Is lalr .- cd here that very little, if auy, of the Kroeeiios i rovisions lo:i;iit from Iceland, Fr.i.u or the fTiiiM States in rci'hlng (irniany thr.-.igu Norway. Can Last Three Months. . In view of the fact that the United States has joined the belligerents, a governmental committee has been collecting information as to Norway's need of food and how to regulate tlis Mninmnin nf it. The committee fund the country'has a supply suffic! lent for three months, even if all importation is stopped, without placing the people on rations. .Public opinion seems to be prepared for a voluntary or forced embargo on all trade or commercial relations with Germany. Germany has itself prepared the way for such a course by its treatment of Norway. Therefore, thj messages from Washington regarding , the American control of experts to neutral countries have created no anxieiy here. The national pride and self-respect are hurt and humiliated because Norway continues to show a friendly face 1o and to trade with Germany, which has treated Norway, in many ways, as a hostile country. As a whole, th Norwegian people, having lost all sympathy with Germany and needing a!! foodstuffs and provisions for their own use, gladly will submit to a strict embargo on all articles of food, and on any other supplies, provided it would heip to shorten the war. !
