Complete disarmament for Norway is

faction of that body. This measure
asks the government to frame and
pass as soon as possible a resolution
or bill providing for the abandonment
OF the whole army and navy. 1t also
asks that all treaties between Norway
and other countries, which might pos
sibly be hindrance to complete dis
armament, De either ltered or replac-
ed by new treaties. and that treaties
providing for arbitration in all con-
troversial questions be secured with
all foreign nations.
This bill is in accordance with the
program of the Norwegian Socialist
party, which during the last election
advocated disarmament irrespective
OF whether other nations would dis
arm or not. Since the Socialists con-

from the big gun which has been shat

which has been broken or lost. are
gathered up and returned to one of the
bases where they are repaired If pos
sible. If they cannot be mended such
parts as are intact are used in renew

are hopelessly broken or torn they are
sold as junk.
