Christiania, Sept. 1.-THE
newspaper Tidens Tegn, in an edi'
torial article on the political sit
uation published August 4, ex-
plains the alliance between the
Norwegian cabinet and the So
cialist party as follows:
1.-The Cabinet, whose party
had been reduced to 81 Of the
$50 members Of the Storthing,
or parliament, asked for and
received the support Of the SO.
cialists and the youg Communis
tic party, whose parliamentary
entrance was marked by the
failure Of the general strike.
This party, therefore, was in
need of an arbitration law so as
not to overtax its promises to the
laborers, and it was on this plat
form that the Communists and
the special cabinet party came to-
gether. They cooperated salts
factorily from the beginning on
questions of finance and taxa
ton. The strongest connecting
link was the prohibition policy. .
Recent correspondence on Nor.
ways internal political situation
made il appear that King Haak-
/, on had allied himself with the
Communists. This is not correct
This can be said only Of his
cabinet, struggling to get ma
| iority in the Storthing. The
King himself takes absolutely nc
part in the forming Of party o.
liances. He is chief executive
through any cabinet formed ane
supported by the me- jority Of th<
Storthing. This body is respor
sible for the kind Of cabinet til;

bill. so that one-half of the taxes on
real property shall be payable No
vember 1 and one-half May 1, in or
der to aid in placing the District on
a cash paying basis.
1t is understood House members
are not averse- to an amendment OF
this kind, and that the House prob
ably would concur in such an amend
ment If adopted by the Senate. In
timations to this effect have reached
the Senate from the House.
This amendment would aid greatly
in the opinion of residents of the
District who have given the taxation
rider careful study.
The Senate has already adopted a
concurrent resolution providing for
a joint congressional investigation to
determine just what surplus revenues
of the District now are held in the
Treasury Department. and whether
they should be used for the benefit of
the District. The understanding is
that this resolution will be adopted
also by the House.
Senator Phipps of Colorado. in

more fully to explain the attitude Of the

beyond the possibility of a doubt.
Nea-Aggression Pact Adopted.

adopted unanimously at a pIenary
meeting of the political subcommis-
sion of the Genoa conference today

adopted in the form of a resolution,
each state pledging itself to respect

All the delegations attended the
session except those of France. Bel

made solemn Affirmation that they
would recommend the pact to their

will probably be concluded at about
noon. The British have ordered a
