Morse Reaction
To Red China's
Move In Korea

In a report to the Norwegian
Parliament, Foreign Minister Hal
ward M. LANCE declared:
I'VE have a right to believe that
no major power now deliberately
desires to start a new world war.
But nobody can close his eyes to
the fact that China is playing a
dangerous game. And it is more
than disturbing that the Soviet
Union defends, and morally and
politically supports this dangerous
Chinese policy, as it from the
very beginning supported the
North Korean aggression"
This situation" the Norwegian
Foreign Minister emphasized,
makes heavy demands on the
democratic nations. They m Il S t
manifest a firmness which makes
it clear that they will not be CO.
creed by threats. At the same
time, however, they must by their
actions as a whole show the world
that they desire cooperation with
the Asiatic nations, and that they
will respect the right of these ma
tons to choose their own form of
government"
Mr.. Lange added: If in the fu-
tre the United Nations should
take action similar. to that in Ko-
rea, it would be utterly unreason-
able for any single nation to as
sumo such disproportionate
share of the burden as the United
States has done and is doing in
Korea" I'VE in Norway the
Foreign Minister told the Parlia-
ment. must consider how we can

ommending the training of mill

Norway Approves Investment Cuts

Unanimous approval was given the
Finance Committees recommended
lions for cuts affecting the Church
and Education Department, the
Justice Department, the Municipal
Department, the Social Depart
ment, and the Fisheries Depart
ment. But, in regard to proposed
cuts for the Agriculture Depart
ment, the Industrial Department
and the Communications Depart
ment, the vote followed party lines.
with Labor, on some points sup
ported by Liberals, in the major
ity, and non-Labor representatives
in the minority. A 7-point minor
ity proposal was defeated by a
vote of 50 to 81.
An article appearing in "Arbei
derbladet," main organ of the Nor
wegian Labor Party, presents
briefly the why's and wherefores
of the investment cuts, as seen by
the Government party. The article
reads in part:
What is happening in the pres
ent situation has to be considered
from two standpoints:
l. Owing to the great speed of
our development program to date.
we can now proceed at slower
pace without suffering a drastic
reduction in the standard of liv-
ing.
2. Thanks to Marshall Aid, we
have been able to maintain the
speed till now. When Marshall Aid
is reduced, we shall have to re-
duce the speed, anyway
Because we have made sensible
use of foreign aid, a cut-back in
investments today will not create
anywhere near the problems it
