CONDITIONS IN NORWAY VIEWED
 BEFORE {. OF {.
Economic Conditions of Country Discussed by
 Consul General

Members of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce had as their guest speaker today, MT. Jorgen Galbe, Norwegian Consul General, here from San Francisco, who, for the past five weeks, has been touring the Territory.
 Speaking informatively on the economic conditions in Norway be- fore the war, MT Galbe stated that in numerous social and economic enterprises or experiments which attracted the attention of all na- lions, Norway became known as the worlds Social Laboratory"
 Farmers cooperatives attained a high degree of development prior to the invasion. Fishermen, too, set up cooperative marketing organizations. The Norwegian cooperatives were eminently successful and experts came from far and near to study and to transplant the cooperation idea to their own lands.
 Tn the vast field of social leg islation,' MT. Galbe added, Nor way has been a pioneer. Typical has been her concern for the well fare of old people The first pro- posals for old age. pensions and invalid insurance were formulated as early as 1850.
 t'Norways labor laws have set a standard for the world. Compulsory accident insurance for industrial workers was launched in 1894 and State grants to unemployed funds began in 1906. l.a Invasion of Norway
 "Culturally, Norway was on high plane" MT. Galbe said. The eff fectiveness of the well organized public school system was demon- strated by the fact that there were no illiterates in Norway.
 Tn April of 1940, when Norway was attacked, invaded and overrun by the German hordes, she was ill., prepared to defend herself. She had then been living at peace with the world for 126 years and had been devoting her money and attention to those purposes rather than to a military machine. Nevertheless, the Norwegians put up stiff fight against the invaders. In attacking Norway, Germany lost one-third of her mighty invasion fleet, a fact that may have played an important part in her decision to postpone her invasion of England.
 Resist Nazis
 But even though the Germans had overrun all of Norway and the armed resistance of the Norwegian people within the country had come to an end, the Norwegian people remained unconquered. Fully 90 per cent of them steadfastly refused to cooperate with the occupy power and stubbornly resisted every new Nazi encroachment"
 In closing, MT. Galbe said. The hope I cherish is that out of this war will emerge a world of inter- national cooperation among sov- ereign democratic nations. I enter tain this hope because my people, the people of Norway, found it pos Sible to be internationally minded and to practice international CO., operation without letting the strong sweep toward international unity weaken the national spirit"
 Through the courtesy of Ted Car ter, well known pioneer in the chemical gardening field in Alaska, the outstanding piece de resistance at today's luncheon consisted of tomatoes, flown from his gardens at Sitka in time for the meeting.
