Dr.. Hambro Says QuisIing
Is Absolutely Insane

WORCESTER, Mass, Nov. H.
Carl j. Hambro, Speaker of the
Norwegian Parliament and member
Of the Norwegian government-in-
exile, last night described Vidkm
Quisling as absolutely insane"
He should have been incarcerated
10 years ago." DR.. Hambro added.
DR.. Hambro spoke before the
Worcester Institute of International
Rela ions, part of the annual session
of the World Alliance for Interna-
tional Friendship Through the
Churches.
Discussing the effect of German
invasion on Norwegian schools and
churches, DR.. Hambro said religion
is taught in the schools, and thus
persecution of one meant persecution
of the other.
when the Germans first estab-
lished rule in Norway DR.. Hambro
said, they stated they would not
interfere with the churches and
schools. Five-and-one-h alf months
afterWard they declared the consti-
tuition and laws of Norway no longer
exist. They tried to introduce the
German conception of justice with
the result that the entire supreme
court resigned"

 IPERISGOPE
g Q @

While Delegate Dimond has sug- gested that the reapportionment bill be made effective in 1914 to avoid any conflict which might arise in this years election. there is a pos sibility that it might become effect i've this year if the Senate amend ment is adopted in conference of the House and Senate committees which now have it under consider ation.
 The Senate amendment around which the controversy is waging reads as follows:
 "Upon the enactment of this act there shall be deemed to exist vac ancies in the office of the Senators and Representatives which this act creates in excess of those existing immediately prior to the date of the said enactment These vacancies shall be filled in the manner pres cribed by article three of chapter IT of title two of the Compiled Laws of Alaska; provided however, that in the event this act becomes effective less than 30 days before the general election of 1922 and more than 30 days before the subsequent conven- ing of the Legislature in regular session, the Governor shall call special election in the manned pres cribed in said article"
 Attorney w c. Stump of Keteh- ikan. whose off-hand opinion we quoted in this column some weeks ago before he knew the contents of the amendment and which Bill" frankly labeled a "curbstone" opin- ion, points out that the amendment Specifically states that if the bill is effective prior to 30 days of the general election that the Governor can declare the new seats as yacan- cies and they will be put on the general election ballot, so the ques- tion of this years primaries will be unaffected"
 Compiled Laws article referred to in the amendment supports Attor- ney Stump.

 Periseope, written before boat sailing from Juneau, anticipated, just as had Mrs. Hermann, that she would be en route by the time arti= cle reached print. We're sorry, par tieularly that Mrs. Hermann was stricken. Hope that she kicked old man flu out the window and is now fully recovered.
 There were, as you will recall. some cries of ajunketinga about the time UCC Secretary Hermann was to make her trip By way of keep ing the record straight, here's her comment on that score.
 T presume It IS a trifle difficult for the gravy-lappers who have con gfegated about the Federal trough in Juneau for the past decade. and from whom your information appar- ently emanated, to understand that there still remain, even in these piping times of easy pickings. a few persons who are willing to nav their own money for the privilege of informing themselves on matters that will enable them to discharge. their public duties more efficiently. nevertheless, I must assure you this was the situation in my case.
 Tn other words. my proposed trip was not a junket. It so happen ed that had planned to go east on some personal and private business. in no way connected with my nos ltion op the Unemployment Compen- sation Commission of Alaska. and my visit happened to coincide with the meeting of the Unemplovment Compensation Regional Conference of the middle western states.
