STOCKHOLM, Apr. IS.

(AP) British forces were reported today to have landed In Narvik under the protection of naval shellflr which drove the Ger- mans from the Norwegian ore port into the mountainous In- terior. The British warships which raided Narvik Saturday, ap- parently preparatory to a landing by British soldiers or ma--rlnes, were ssld to have the city under control of their guns. This report, from tha Norwegian radio at the port of Dodo, south oC Narvik, followed Norwegian army communique reporting that Norwegian troops north and wost of Nnrvik were ready to attack the Germans. The Norwegian commander said the German forces had retreated hastily and were believed to be Incapable of strong resistance to the Norwegians who, he said, are now firmly mobilised In the north. All Nail Warships Sunk.

Theso sources said that all German warships in Narvik, hopelessly outweighed by the stronger British naval force, bad been sunk while trying to keop the flt'ltlsh out of nombaks fjord, which controls the port. (The British liavo said Sflvnn flermnn. destroyers woro sent to the bottom In tho Saturday raid. It Is acknowledged lii Berlin' Ihnt tho British have achieved a naval blockade of Narvik.) According to the Norwegian versions, tho British battleship War-spite, screened by a division of do-stroyoifl, forced the mouth of tho fjord. Norwegians considered It unlikely that tho Germans would bo able to land troops In Narvik again.

They said that there had not been nny heavy British bombardment before landing forces were sent ashore but that Narvik's big-goBt building, the new Hotel Royol, had been destroyed. In southeastern Norway, sporadic fighting between German and Norwegian forceB brought the InvndliiR nazls near tlio Swedish border. King Urges People to Fight. The Norwegians, meanwhile, were urged to grantor efforts by tliolr aging Boverelgn, King Haakon who Inst night broadcast an np-peal to his pooplo to fight for and Independence." The king, who has been driven from town to town liv nnmuinff Gorman bombers since he abandoned Oslo with his government last week, spoke from an unidentified station somewhere In the Interior. Despite the hearten nsr effort which the king's appeal was expected to have on Norwegian morale, the country's defenders appeared to be fighting battle on the southern front.

Nazis Gain Ground. Swedish authorities annnnnceit that 3,000 Norwegians, seemingly hnrd-prossed. had fled across the frontier near Halden nt the south. ernmoat tip of Norway and hs been disarmed and interned. There were reports, however, that despite determined German efforts to clear out all resistance between Oslo and the Swedish border 30 miles away, Norwegian troops still were clinging to positions between Mysen nnd Kongs-vlneer.

Myscn is about IS milea southeast of Oslo and Kongsvlr.ger about 35 miles northeast of the capital, not far from tho Swedish border.

"The inter-Amerlcnn order was not built by hatred and terror. It has been paved by the endless nnd effective work of men or good will." Stable Peace Still "Dream" Mr. Roosevelt said "universal and stable peace remains a dream" and told his listeners to "have no illusions" at a time when "old dreams of universal empire are again rampant." "In my conception," tho president said, "the whole world now Is struggling to find the basis of Its life in coming centuries." "It was for this very reason that wo have adopted procedures that enable us to meet any eventuality. "I pray to God that we shall not have to do more than that; but should It be necessary. I am convinced that we should be wholly successful.

The Inner strength of a group of free people is Irresistible when they are prepared to act." Why West Has Peace "Peace reigns today In tho western hemisphere," he snid. "because our nations have liberated themselves from fear. "Peace reigns among us today because we have agreed, ns neighbors should, to mind our own business "Peace reigns among us today because we have resolved to settle any dispute that should arise n-mong us by friendly negotiations. i Meantime, although a major con-j troversy with Mexico over tho expropriation of nil properlles np-1 ncured a possibility, officials here said that, on the whole, they were well FatisMfd with International conditions In the new world.

Rep. Mott or Oregon urged the house merchant marine and fisheries committee again today to prove his bill permitting Oregon to establish a nautical 'ruining school. The representative pointed out the law authorizes the establish ment of schools In nine states and only seven have been founded. He said the law entitles states establishing such schools to $25,000 cash subsidy, a fully equipped training ship and provides for upkeep and operation of the vessel. Mott said residence restrictions make It impossible for students from other states to get Into the schools already establihed.

He-cause of this, he contended, there was no chance for Oregon students In merchant marine to get Into the California school.
