| All this is what the Norwegian
people fought for and died for. This
is what they propose to live for.
And it is their main reason for
joining the Atlantic Pact together
with nations who feel the same
way about fundamental values and
are ready for common defence of
those values.
We have not any of us reached
the perfect democracy. 1t is es-
sential that we are aware of our
failures and shortcomings in this
respect. But 1 would say that all
of us who build on the idea of gov
eminent of and by the people, are
on our way. We are constantly
endeavoring to perfect the basis
and processes of popular govern
ment.
But we must not let up for
moment. We must keep the lead,
and show the world at all times
how infinitely superior a free de-
mocracy is to a totalitarian police
state. Then also the word democ
racy is good enough for us, with
out any trimmings.
Once upon a time there was an
old, wise man who put this ques-
ton to those around him: What
is the most beautiful music in the
world" Each had his answer.
One said that the most beautiful
music in the world was the clatter
of swords against shield, another
said that it was the laughter of
young women, third said that it
was the song of the nightingale in
the woods. But the old wise man
shook his head and said that none
of them had guessed right. For
one who has soul with which to
listen, he said, the most beautiful
music in the world is the tones
from what h appens in a free
people
On the whole, l am not unduly
pessimistic as to the world-outlook
for peace-with freedom and JUS
tice. We witnessed during the war
the tremendous power of love of
freedom in the hearts of demo-
cratic peoples. We saw how the
homefronts of the occupied coun-
tries fought fiercely often with
only the weapons of the spirit
against oppression and slavery. We
saw that democracy has tremend-
Gus reserve powers-and that free
dom cannot, will not, die.
After the war, we witnessed the
firm stand of America for freedom

not true that there has been a real

from our inability to agree on de-

way, during the last war. Even
this, however, could not change
the fundamental fact that econom-
ically, culturally and ideologically
Norway belongs to the Western
World, to the great Atlantic COM
munity.
When Norway decided to join the
North Atlantic Pact, we did it
not because we had been under
pressure from the United States
the repeated intimations to that eff
feet simply are not true-but en-
tirely for reasons of Cur own.
Before taking such momentous
step, we naturally asked ourselves
some poignant questions: Was the
text of the proposed Pact wholly in
conformity with the Charter of the
United Nations? Was it entirely
of a peaceful and non-aggressive
nature? Did it afford us protec-
ton, without imposing on us bur-
dens incompatible with the rebuild
ing of our country from the raw
ages of the Nazis?
We studied the text of the Pact
and We found reassuring answers
to these questions.
We found that such a pact was
fully authorized by the Charter,
which in its Article 81 expressly
recognizes the inherent right of
individual and collective self-de-
fence if an armed attack occurs
against a member of the United
Nations. We found that the At
lantic Pact stood squarely for the
fundamental aims of the Charter.
We further found that instead of
by-passing or undermining the
United Nations as has been MAIN
tanned, the Atlantic Pact reinforced
it and temporarily took over tasks
which the United Nations is not
ready to carry out.

l do not think that war is in the
present picture. 1t seems hard to
believe that in our sadder and
wiser world there is anybody want

Nothing in the world stands still.
Conditions ans men constantly
change. Is it too much to hope
that as the years go by, the ideas
and aims of the free world will
prevail through their inner right
ness and strength?
Or, at the very least that differ
ent ideologies, different views on
freedom and popular government
may exist side by side in mutual
recognition?
We cannot say for certain. We
can only promise ourselves always
to act towards others with fair
ness, understanding and good will
and always to keep vigilant.
Then, in Gods own time, l be-
lieve that we shall realize human
itys deep longing for universal
peace and freedom, joining with all

In the meantime we shall count

Novel About
Harriet Tubnla n

Anne Parrish, author Of "a
Clouded Star, recently published
by Harper and Brothers, frst
heard Of Harriet Tubman, the
heroine of her novel, from great
aunt whose fathers house in
Philadelphia had been an Under
ground railroad station, where
Harriet and her runaways often
hid. Later she heard more tales
from members of her mothers
household who had come from
the section Of Maryland where
Harriet was born and raised.
Although her name was Harriet
Tubman, her people called her
Moses because time after time
she led to freedom those who fol-
lowed her. This is the story of
one journey; journey OF incred-
ible beauty and fear. Beautiful
for soaring heronS and for wild
grapes, for twilights that brought
freedom nearer; fearful for hun
ger, filth, and exhaustion, and
dawns heavy with danger. "a
Clouded Star is the story of nine
slaves who were led by their
Moses, Harriet Tubman, a woman
of astonishing strength, hurnor,
gentleness and ferocity.
Men and women and babies,
tragic Joe and Dace the Dandy,
and scared little Samuel, they
were supported by her courage,
spurred on by her contagious
laughter or her mockery, and
sometimes by the threat of her
rifle, to the north and freedom.
1t is an amazing story of human
fortitude and spiritual strength,
the story Of woman, ignorant
and wise, who triumphed as
soldier, nurse, and guide.

NEW YORK-@The 1949 March

ton of the epidemic emergency
fund Of the National Founda-
ton for Infantile Paralysis and
the exhausted treasures of many
local chapters" stated Basil o.
Conner, National Foundation
President, in a call for about
support of the polio campaign.
Mr.. O'Connor explained that
costs Of the 1913 epidemic would
exceed $l7,OOO,O0O. "Infantile
paralysis is on the increase in
the United States Mr.. O'Con-
nor said. $50, too. are costs Of
care of polionyelities patients.
Increased costs, plus continued
high incidence make the sue

out that besides the costs Of the
1913 epidemic the National Foun-
dalton and its chapters were pro-
viding after-care for patients
stricken in 1947, 1916, and even
for cases stricken many years
