o-operation Pledged
By Norway's S Parties
AS Labor Takes Over

OSLO, Nov. 7-Norway's political
parties have agreed to continue the
occupation-born policy of co-opera-
ton in bringing the country back
to its former economic wealth.
There are minor squabbles. of
course. For example, Carl Joachim
Hambro, president of Norway's pre-
war Storting, leader of the shrink
ing Conservative party and grand
master of political ceremony, is at
tempting to keep the old Storting in
power as long as possible. He de-
clares that according to law new
Storting should not meet until No
vember /, 1916.
On the other hand, the Labor
group, which won a clear majority
and control in the recent national
elections, the people and the Nor
wegian press maintain the new
Storting should be formed at once
so that recovery program can get
rolling.
Then, too, there are anxious
glances at the Communists, who
have grown suddenly to, fIll-size
stature by placing II men in the
Storting. The first Communist rep
resentation in Norways government
is expected to be stormy petrol,
casting its weight first to one side,
then to the other.
Program Outlined.
Strand JohanSen, leader of the
Communists, has outlined his party's
postwar program. 1t includes the
organization of the farming and
fishing industries for widespread
social and economic reforms. Jo-
hansen said he did not believe state
ownership would be necessary, but
merely state control"
Johansen asserted that a great
percentage of Norwegian farmers
have only IL or IL acres of ground
and cannot afford a horse, let alone
tractor, and consequently must
do all work by hand.
IF we could get Is or 30 of them
together they could own a horse or
tractor together and produce much
more" he declared, adding that
similar reforms are needed in the
fishing industry, where some COM
munities still operate under a semi
feudal system whereby one man
directs all the work, sets prices and
pockets profits.
All of Norway's parties, except the
Communists. hail Labor's decision
not to accept representatives of the
Communist party into the new Labor
cabinet.
Premier Is Popular.
Prime Minister Einar Gerhardsen
is one of the most popular men in
Norway today and satisfaction was
expressed generally over his head
ship of the interim coalition gov
ernment, even though some objected
he lacked sufficient toughness.
/ Gerhardsen, in outlining the Labor
program, has asserted he does not
believe in state ownership of enter
prise, but instead wants state con-
troll, except in such cases where
state ownership would be clearly
advantageous. Thus, Norway's big
business and private enterprise look
forward hopefully to regaining the
old momentum on their own ini-
