"If the health and general welfare OF

amendment TO the present code Of build

This is the unanimous opinion Of ey-

visibility of amending the building regu-

mend that the proposed amendments

It is not for such experiences as these
that the Peary party sailed Sunday

many wonderful and delightful ex-

America is not as sordid or as un-
imaginative as its critics like to paint
her. IN Arctic exploration, in scien-
tttic discovery, in phiIanthropic work,
the United States is well to the front.
We love money because it makes pos

who have the money make it possible

Norway and Recognition.

Norway is about TO ask the United
States to recognize it as a separate
and independent member of the fam
lily OF nations. This will be done be-
fore appeal is made to the other
powers.
There is an implied compliment in
this action by Norway which the peo-
pie OF this country will appreciate.
and there are reasons for the selee-
ton of the United States as the first
power TO which appeal /: to be made
that probably our fri Ids the Nor
wegians have not overlooked. We are
dissociated from European politics as
far as possible; We can have no in
terest in the autonomy of Norway
other than commercial one; many
OF our people are of Morse descent;
our theory of government favors in
dependence and autonomy; and recog-
milton, II initiated by us would be of
Immense advantage TO Norway not
alone because of our prestige, but,
perhaps, primarily. by relieving the
European powers of the suspicion Of
Interior motives in their acceptance
OF Norway as separate and inde-
pendent nation.
The question Of the policy of Nor
way in separating from Sweden is
purely academic as far as we are con-
cerned; it may be merely a forerun-
Ter OF a closer union Of all the
Scandinavian peoples; but to the
casual observer it would seem to in
yite aggression from the more preda-
tory powers IN her neighborhood.
However this may be. as a people.
our duties are reasonably plain.
The policy of the United States is
10 recognize de facto governments and
to announce such recognition when
ever the occasion arises. 1t is also
our policy TO restrict our political en-
terprise TO this continent as far as
possible, The analogue to the Mon
roe Doctrine is that we must avoid in
reference with European affairs. We
would expect the European powers TO
defer their recognition of a new
American nation until we had an
nounced our position as to its status;
Europe is entitled to expect that we
show reticence. at least, in the recog-
milton of new conditions on the other
side of the Atlantic
It viii be urged that Norway is not
new nation, that it has had here
tofore a separate and distinct in
diyiduality. and that the independence
of-Sts sovereignty has been shown by
numerous commercial treaties with
foreign nations wherein Sweden did
not join. But these things are aside
from the main point, which is:
The United States would please its
enemies more than it would please
Norway if il attempted on its own ac-
count to recognize Norway officially
before the other European powers had
declared their intentions.
