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
