NATIONAL DEFENSE
 WILL BE BIG ISSUE. AT NORWAY POLLS
Country Dependent on For eign Nations For Food
 To Debate Question.

christianias Sept s.-UnusuaI inn portance may be attached to the forthcoming elections of members of parliament, for which the different parties have already. adopted their platforms The Storthing. as the en- tira Norwesian legislative body is called. is elected every third year. di- rect by the people, with women no" entitled to vote under the same con ditions as men. The election will take place this fall
 In common with a number Of other countries, an issue in Norwegian politics this year is the question Of national defense. The war crisis wear ago found the country very poorly prepared to meet any emer5 7l gency. The army and navy were bye no means up to the standard re- quired by the military experts, and the people have but lately realized how largely the country is dependent upon foreign countries for food sup plies The latter circumstancesi is due to the fact that in the last two or three decades farming has diminished the young people of the rural dis tricts having passed more and more freely into the industrial work in the cities
 conseouently it has been <increas- ingIy dimcu1t for the farmers, to get help. and the situation has made competition with foreign products all most out of the question. For grain. flour and sugar, for instance, Norway has been dependent on the imports from the United States. Russia and Germany. The war brought about a great cl1rtailnent in these irnporta-. tions. and has impressed the Nor wekians that something must be done to make their country more self-sup- porting ! ss. The Conservative and Liberal lefts, in their platforms for the caming election, have made their chief de-
 na4ds, therefore, for the strengthen ing of the national defense to the full extent that the country Can econonic-s ally bear, and for an increased duty on imports of grain and four so that Norwegian farmers may be able to regain t11eir lost ground in cofped- ton with foreign products
 The party that is at present in power, however, asserts that there is no need of strengthening the defense of the country at present They point to the fact that the government has been able to conduct the country everything was ablaze around it. So far as The protection of the farmer is concerned. they propose a guaran tee that the government pay ths farmer a. stated price for grain or es- 4alb1ish a state monopoly in this par 1icu1ar trade esf=s r
 The National Committee of the party in power has recommended CO operation with the Socialists rather than concede the demand made by the armamenfS advocates The So- eia1dsts in Norway still adhere to the doctrine that the international So cfalistic fraternity is able to preVent war between nations, and instead of increasing means of defense, the party would have Norway keep no army or navy at all The Socialists at the last election numbered two hfths of all the voters Since then the party has gained considerably, so it Is not impossible that in combina ton with non-armament sympathizers they fay get control of the next Sterfhfng.
