On Nov. it was announced that
two councillors Of state, namely,
Messrs. Hagerup-Bull and Vinie, had
resigned from the ministry and had
been succeeded by Abraham Berge and
Sven Aarestad. While it is stated that
the designations were entirely volun-
tary, the opposition and some of the
conservative press Of Norway incline
to the view that the two councillors
were sacrificed in order to appease the
big leftist majority in the storthing,
which demanded that the government
adopt its program or platform. Even
