hectic days his working hours are so
irregular that he has little time for
travel.
The Ambassador believes in Words
worth's theory on nature and feels
that, to a great extent, one must re-
main close to the simple forms of
life in order to keep in touch with
those simple truths which often are
the answers to our problems.
In Norway he has mountain re-
treat. The Ambassador is keen about
mountain climbing and swimming in
the deep Norwegian fiords. Fishing,
too, for trout in the streams and
herring and mackerel in the sea was
a favorite pastime.

Wilhelm Munthe de Morgenstierne Likes
America, Studies History Of Civil War Period
By CATHERINE HAMRIEy

There's something distinct about
Washington" says Ambassador Will
helm Munthe de Morgenstierne of
Norway. modest and deliberate
man who came here as an attache
to the Legation in 1910 after gradu-
ating from Oxford. Previously he
had received bachelor of arts de-
gree from the University of Norway
Of which his partner was president.
Born in Oslo, November 4, 1887,
his career has been extensive. After
his first post in Washington, he was
stationed in Antwerp before return
ing to this country as vice commits
sloner at the San Francisco Exposi-
ton in 1915. Following that, he be-
came secretary of the Nansen Food
Mission to the United States in
1917-l8. He was named Norwegian
delegate to the international Labor
Conference in Washington in 1919
and In Geneva two years later. APP
pointed chief of division in the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Oslo,
he did not return to the States until
1926. In 1929 he became consul gen.
eral in New York City. In 1884 he
was made E. E. and M. P. to Wash
ington.
Likes Literature, History
The Ambassador is the author of
a book, "A Greater Norway" and
has written articles on foreign af-
fairs for publication.
Like most writer's, the Ambassa-
dor is a reader, concentrating on
modern literature and history, par
ticularly American history dealing
with the Civil War. He has the
greatest admiration for the fine and
beautiful character of Gen. Robert
E. Lee" but will not take sides as
he feels that that is not diplomats
place to do.
AS to future, the Ambassador be-
lieves the peace-loving nations will
have learned their lesson and will
realize that to keep anything worth
while in common they must unite
and fight against any aggressively-
inclined alliance
But back to the States. He likes

study of the entire record I am
convinced that there has not only
been a violation of the antitrust
laws, beginning with the first agree

this violation of the laws was as
