From Paris… In their Supreme War Council the British and French decide to make a formal agreement that neither will make a separate peace. In the same meeting it is also decided to mine Norwegian coastal waters and, if the Germans seem ready to interfere, to send a military expedition to Norway. The contingency plan prepared for such an eventuality has had to be abandoned, however, because the excuse for landings in Norway was to have been a clause in the constitution of the League of Nations allowing transit for troops if they were going to the aid of a victim of aggression. This is now invalid, of course, because of the Finnish surrender. The operation is timed to start on April 5th but is later deferred to April 8th – a vital difference in view of the timing the Germans fix for their own landings.

In Canada… Mackenzie King's Liberal Party is returned to power in the Canadian elections.

In Washington… Sumner Welles, Under-Secretary of State, reports to Roosevelt about his mission to the belligerent countries in Europe.
