Anniversary Of Norway Government

NEW YORK, N. Y, Nov. 15.-
On Tuesday, November 5th, Nor
wegian Prime Minister Einar Ger
hardsen met the press on the first
anniversary of his Governments
term in office. Reviewing the past
year the Prime Minister expressed
his gratitude for the close CO.
operation on the part of cabinet
members and Parliament. Sketch
ing some of the problems which
had faced the new Government last
year. Mr.. Gerhardsen recalled:
"They We're many and difficult:
all of the foreigners in this coun-
try, the treason trials, getting pro-
duction started, reconstruction,
and the economic questions con-
nected with the wealth of money
and the dearth of goods"
Grounds for satisfaction could
be found, he noted, in the manner
in which these problems were be-
ing resolved. Nearly all Germans,
prisoners of war, and displaced
persons have now been returned
to their homelands. Early popular
dissatisfaction with what was call

Aluminium Life
Boats Win OK

Extensive tests of all-aluminum
lifeboats developed by the Kris
tiansand MekanisKe Verksted, in
Norway, have proven successful,
notes a recent Norwegian press
report. Trials of two experiment
tai boats which have been under
construction for several months
have resulted in official approval
of both type and material. The
two boats will be delivered to the
firm Burmeister and Vain.
Mr.. Simon Tellefsen, production
engineer of the Kristiansand firm,
reports that orders are already
streaming in from all parts of
Norway and that ten $40 cubic
foot units have been ordered for
the Newcastle Bergen passenger
liner Venus" AS the lifeboats
for ocean-going tankers may no
longer be constructed of wood, the
new aluminium model is further
expected to meet all tanker quail
fications.

mission as guiding and protect
ing factor was emphasized.
Referring to recent conservative
criticism of Government controls,
Mr.. Gerhardsen noted that there
are indications that one or sew
eral of the opposition parties, all
of which subscribed to the COM
mon reconstruction program, now
wish to release themselves in part
from the cooperation based on this
program. 1T is he Governments
view," he concluded, that society
must at all times have adequate
control over production, and the
necessary entry to step in when
misuse occurs or to aid a develop
ment of service to the country"

I ed the slowness of the treason
trials has now given way to a
sober realization of the worth of
steady, judicious, procedure. In
the field of production the Prime
Minister noted that over 100000
new laborers have been employed
since last year, and total produc-
ton has reached 80 percent of
pre-war. The so-called vacation
mentality which marked the first
months following liberation has
been replaced by labor-initiated
drive for increased production for
the rebuilding of devastated areas.
Despite present material short
ages, he predicted that reconstruc-
ton will be completed within five
years as planned.
The biggest struggle on the eco
nomic front has centered about the
sterilization problem. For h e
Government" he noted, "stabiliza-
ton has taken the form of a
steady battle to hold the price
line. 1t has been exposed to strong
pressure from within in the form
of demands for higher prices and
wages, and from without by ris-
ing prices of imported goods. But
it has held" He continued to note
that the Government intends to
carry on this policy in order that
the economic recession which will
sooner or later appear abroad may
not affect Norway too strongly.
Norway's most vital task today,
declared Prime Minister Gerhard
sen, is to increase production. In
dustry, agriculture, fishing, and
commerce must be rationalized
and modernized in the interest of
a higher living standard and great
er efficiency. Here the States

tory of armament manufacture
C"merchants of death") prove the
press is always used to start spy

month - August = was United

The denial, of course, got few
lines, usually on an inside page,
whereas the lie got most of the
front pages.
The Garssons did not advertise.
The press smeared them from hell
to breakfast. The same neWspa-
pers suppressed the case of Ana
conda Copper which was actually
found guilty of supplying defect
i've wire for war purposes. One
of the big press lies charged the
Garssons with making defective
shells. Since the fuses. not the
shells, were defective. and since
the Garssons did not make the
fuses this charge was proved
false. The press buried a few
lines when the official news was
issued. The Garssons do not ad-
vertise. while the Garssons were

THE monopol.es refused to &C
cept production orders until
accelerated tax amortization laws
were enacted. In several instances
they refused contracts until they
were paid their own prices-their
patriotism was cost-plus," states
Senator Taylor.
The men who made the billions,
who robbed the nation during the
last two wars, are the men who
run and direct the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers. They
are also the main advertisers. The
press sensationalizes the Carson
case. 99%t of the newspapers of
America have suppressed the en-
tire story of the Treason of Big
Business from 1889 to date.
One year ago Robt. ]. Sullivan,
United Press financial writer, list
