Although Mr. Chamberlain said Norway is not to become “a. side- show,“ he warned Britain as well as the neutrals in the west of Eu- rope and in the southeast that they must be ready for new Gannon lightning strokes.

: Warm Vigilance Needed

Acknowlcding Germany's "cen- tral position" on the eve of the clzht-monlh anniversary of the de- claration of war bv the Allies, Mr. Chamberlain warned vigilance was needed on many fronts.

The Nazis. he declared, may now attack “with liohtning rapidity ' Netherlands. Belgium. or both; the vBnikans. on the western front, or Bftotn herscif.

Stronu cheers accompanied his declaration: "We must seize every chance. as we have clone and shall continue to do in Norway. to in- flict damage on the enemy."

His speech followed new Royal Air Force blows ugolret Nazi air bases at stavanger and Fornebu. Norway. and Aalborg, Denmark, bases which Mr. Chamberlain dc- rlnred had given Germany the ‘giqoecals fioupcrhplrity" whlchimado . r s sou em cam a so difficult. p g“
