NEWS AMONG SCANDINAVIANS

In response to suggestions that in
formation about the present-day po-
litical conditions in the three Scan
dinavian countries may be pertinent
in these columns, the following brief
reviews are submitted at time when
the people of the United States is ex-
periencing one of its own regular per-
iods of political intensity.
Stabilizing the Krone.
Recently the parliament of Norway
that is the Storting, adjourned, and
one of it's principal accomplishments
during the session has been the stab
ilization of the exchange of the coun-
try, the Krone, at its gold par value
This important step has contributed
much toward clarifying the economic
situation in the country sorely beset
with hangover difficulties from the
war period.
The general impression in banking
and business circles seems to be that
the sterilization has brought about
peace and confidence-two factors
which had been absent for several
years.
Laws For Home Owners.
Another important piece of legisla-
ton enacted by the now adjourned
Storting session was the so-called
'Soil Law" which empowers the state
to appropriate unimproved acreage
and hand it over to farm workers who
are DESTROYS of becoming home own.

poses: u 1t adds to the cultivated

soil of Norway; p it tends toward de-
creasing industrial unemployment,
and b it creates new independently
owned homes.
Party Divisions.
1t may be of interest to compare
the political composition of the Stor-
ting after the 1924 elections with the
present:
In 1924 there were in the parlia-
ment 81 members representing the
conservative Right party; % from
Farmers party; "a from the Left;
from the Radical Peoples party; 80 of
the United Labor parties, and Com
munists. In other words, the con-
sentative parties-the Right and the
Farmers party-had a majority rep
resentation of 76 members out of the
$50 who compose the Storting.
1t is different now-since the latest
election:
The Right party has 30 members in
parliament-a decrease of "a; the
Farmers party is represented by 90
more than in 1924; the Left party's
contingent is now made up of 80 mem
bers-a decrease of 4; the Radical
Peoples party suffered a loss of seat
and consequently, now has but 1 in
the Storting; the United Labor parties
are represented by 59-an increase of
27-and the 6 Communists have been
| reduced to 3.

MR.. BoRAH's EXCESSIVE ZEAL
(Chicago Daily News).


Senator Borah Of Idaho, the most distinguishes
member Of the so-called insurgent group Of the repuo-
lican party, because he Is nc strict partisan and De-
cause he Is an unusually effective speaker, exerts ex-
ceptionl influence when he supports a regular candi-
date Of his party.
Mr.. Borah is supporting Hoover, despite past dis
agreements and criticisms Of measures advocated by
Hoover. 1t is Of couEse silly to argue, as some persons
have done, that the Idaho senator can not consistently
urge the election Of the man who, as Food Admins
traitor Hoover, he opposed at times ten years ago. New
occasions teach new duties, and changed situations eff
feet all sorts Of realignments.
But Senator Borah should beware of excessive zeal
in his present task. In asserting that the national cam
paign is "a contest between law and order nd Tammany
Hall and it's allied influences" he INDUCES in sheer
|buncombe. He should leave that sort OF thing to the
small fry.
There is Of course no such contest. Governor Smith
and his chief supporters are as law-abiding and as
sincere in their political beliefs as are Mr.. Hoover and
his chief supporters. Neither party has a monopoly OF
virtue.
