JrlsMMt Land of Vikings I Norway is one of the delightful little countries of Europe. About the size of two of our average states, her population is only three million ?half that of New York City. A parliament la elected by direct vote of the people every four years, and it constitutes the real authority of the nation. They have a King, who reigns but does not rule. Next to the King, the speaker of the parliament is the highest official In the country. The fair haired Norwegians are a strong, sturdy people, whnas chief quality is individualism. Communism invaded Norway at the end of World War I. A "labor" , party was created by the Communists, but eventually most of its members went over to th? "Swuiw Democrats," now the leading party controlling more than half the ISO eats in parliament The extent to be< m made into narrafui pracuoe is evident whan owe examines the present state of Norwegian industry. It is apparent that the early Communist influence did not Just disappear in an assimilation into the leading labor party, but remains like* a hungry dog, strayed from Russia, and is now eyeing ppsperqus merchant fleet of Norway. ?- Bgaallsstten The greatest private industry Nor-, way has ever developed is her xner-' chant marine that sails the seven , seas, all out of proportion to the size of the country. This shipping industry has been the chief source of ' "revenue for balancing the national budget and for obtaining essential foreign credit. It remains the backbone of Norwegian ftnanoa. i Present policies of the Socialist government, in an attempt to equalise everything tor everybody, are seriously threatening this important industry. This is the pattern: It took 4,600,000 government dollars to subsidize the distribution of milk last year, therefore to meet the cost of this subsidy a 4,600,000 dollar tax was placed on the shipping industry because it had experienced a good year and appeared able to pay. Killing die Goose ' J A reliable Norwegian informant told this story. The merchant marine lost many ships during the wsr, and although they were insured by Lloyd's of London it was impossible to transfer the money to Norway while the country was in the grip of the Germans. Accordingly, the funds were held as credit in London. j! The present Socialist government < now looks anxiously over the books j! of tbo shipping companies. If they j i conclude that a lost ship had quite paid for itself, they tax the company 85% of the face of the insurance pol-; icy. This extremely high tax on the shipping industry, plus virtual conftsratlnn of ?: ? ?? uiivw piCIIUUIIlB on lost ships, threatens to reduce the industry to the detriment of the entire nation. This is a fine example of killing the goose to get more eggs immediately, but the production of golden eggs in the future is definitely threatened. I cannot help feeling that the source of this sort of thing in Norway was the stray dog in- fiuence of Communism. I found it the distinct opinion of those who have done most to create the 1 wealth of Norway that the greatest , present threat to progress now is j monopoly and regimentation. , j T ! ? > -i < ' ?
