National Newspaper Representa- Los Angeles, Portland NORWAY'’S “ANNIVERSARY” What stands out most strikingly from the situa- tion in Norway after one year of Nazi domination is the fact, substantiated by every report from that nation, that Norwegians are more united now than ever before and that Norway is entirely unconquered' and unbroken. On April 9, first anniversary of the German invasion, Norwegian Minisher Morgenstierne was able to say in Washington: “In spite of the tragedy which has befallen our nation and our beautiful land and which on this| day fills us with peculiar bitterness, we feel deeply grateful that our leaders and our people from the first moment chose the path of honor and resis- fance; that today Norway is definitely and promin- ently amongst the nations which did not submit, but challenged the aggressor and fought—and fights now—for freedom, popular government and inter- national decency. “Not only the free Norwegians abroad but our hard-pressed countrymen at home, who are stand- ing up so mngnlfioen'.ly against the Nazi terror. realize with deep satisfaction that we are on the right and winning side in this world war of liberty —the most momentous crusade i human history. As sure as day follows night men of good will in all lands shall repel the onslaught of the powers of barbarism and darkness against all that civilization means and is. “Our heart goes out in this hour to the people of Norway under the iron heel of the oppressors, but whose spirit is unbroken and marches on. It goes out to the British and their inspired leader and all their allies, who today with unsurpassed valor are bearing the brunt of battle. Our giatitude and admiration go out to the President of (ne [United States, who with extraordinary vision for 5 has perceived and understood the deadly threat facing the world today and who with unequalled clarity and force has given expression to the thoughts and aspirations of free men ahd women everywhere.” In spite of the destruction and violence, want and privation which followed war into Norway, people of all parties and of all social levels are de- termined that Norse civilization shall not go under. This determination is reflected in countless ways, | as when the entire Supreme Court of Norway re- signs with a declaration that since the German authorities refuse to recognize the judicial power! of review granted by the Constitution of Norway, it is useless for conscientious judges to remain in the Court; as when the seven Bishops of the Church of Norway send a manifesto to the Nazi puppet- head of the Church and Education Department say- ing “the Church can never be silenced. We feel it ;pllov.s are training with the allies, Norwegian war- |and of Pan-American solidarity in the present world our duty to let the authorfties hed L ah loud the voice of the Church;” as when out of a force of 62 Norwegian policemen at Krlschmss.nd resign rather than obey a German order that they are not to interfere with anything the Quisling “Hirdmen” storm troopers choose to do and that they must give the Nazi salute when on duty; as when Norwegian farmers and working men at the risk of their lives continue to resist the orders of the Germans and continue by word and deed to show their contempt for the Quislings; as when one local labor union rejected by a vote of 5,000 to 16 a requested vote of loyalty to a newly-appointed Nazi labor official; as when only 500 Norwegian workers yield in a whole year to Nazi pressure to accept jobs in Germany in accord with a Nazi plan to recruit at least 20,000 Norwegians for work in the Reich; as when a Stavanger editor publishes in his newspaper the defiant motto “No Norwegian is for sale!” To mark the first anniversary of thé German invasion, the Royal Norwegian Government even publishes an illustrated volume, “Norway.” The central fact a year after the unprovoked German attack upon peaceful Norway is that Nor- way is still formally and actually at war wita the invader. In addition to the millions resisting every Nazi move within Norway, many soldiers, sailors and ships are fighting side by side with the British the great Norwegian merchant marine of 4,000,000 tons of ships and 25,000 sailors is sailing undaunted the seven seas to carry supplies to the common battlefronts of the democracies. As Minisher Morgenstierne declared in his “an- niversary” address: “We shall stay in this great fight until victory has been won, until we have accomplished our irreducible war aims; first to clear Norwegian soil of every foreign invader, then to join with our friends and allies in muzzling per- manently the ruthless aggressors, which for some time have been running amuck in the world chal- lenging the peace, freedom and very existence of civilized peoples.” Such spirit will not be broken. never be conquered. Such people will | With Three Exceptions (Cincinnati Enquirer) The action of the United States in seizing Axis merchant ships evoked an impressive demonstration crisis. The speed and unanimity with which the Latin-American republics followed the lead of mev United States reportedly amazed Axis capuals—and‘ well it might. In the most conclusive display of hemispheric | accord since the Pact of Havana was signed last\ year, all but three of the other republics in the New| World have concurred with the policy of the Umted | States in the seizure of the Axis vessels. Further- more, they concurred with such alacrity as to le:we[ little doubt of eye-to-eye agreement with the for-| eign policy of this hation. However, it would be unwise to ignore the sig- nificance of the fact that three of the South Ameri- can republics—including the “A” and the “B” of the South American “ABC"—so far have not seen fit to follow our policy in the ship seizures. Argen- tina, Brazil, and Uruguay have made no move to impound the German or Italian merchantmen with- THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY. APRIL I5 1941. HAPPY BIRTHDAY APRIL 15 Mrs. Anna E.

Whether this reflects a natural hesitancy about | automatically subscribing to the policy of a foreign| nation, or indicates an unwillingness to provoke the | potential directors of European trade after the war, or shows a political schism which mars thm otherwise general accord of the Americas, remains to be explained by later developments. Perhaps all of these elements enter into the stand of the three| nations. The fact is evident, in any event, that there still is room for improvement of our relations with South America. And doubtless there is a moral to be| found in the fact that the United States has been grudging in its trade concessions with precisely the |same three nations as have now failed to concur lnr action against Axis merchantmen. The day after| the United States seized the Axis vessels in our harbors, the Senate voted, 34 to 29, in favor of a provision already approved by the House which pro-| hibits Army and Navy purchases.of Argentine canned beef and other foreign products.

WRONG NUMBER A certain chic young' Justice De- partment telephone operator is going to be careful about whom she con- fides in from now on. The J. D. operators gave a tea and invited the department officials, among them Attorney General Bob Jackson. Very democratic, he ap- proves of these departmental parties and was wandering from one group to another when a pretty miss took him into tow. She began pouring out an account of her duties. One of them, she related, was seeing to it that Ugo Carusi, energetic executive assistant to the Attorney General, had his phone calls answered promptly. “He’s a very important man,” the young lady explained earnestly. “He’s the only official in the de- partment who has'a ‘red light over his number on the switchboard, and we have strict qrders to drop every- thing when the lght flashes and give Mr. Carusi immediate atten- tion. would go about getting that sort of service?” “Oh, you couldn’t get it,” was the emphatic reply. “Mr. Carusi is very special.” They chatted a few more minutes and then as Jackson rose to go his hostess remarked, “Say, you're awfully nice. Who are you?” “The name is Robert Jackson.” “Oh, dear! The boss!” “Don’t worry,” said the Attorney General, grinning broadly, “it’s all right. I won't tell Mr. Carusi on you.” BULGARIAN MINISTER For five years, Dimitri Naoumoff has lived in a grey stone house over- looking Rock Creek Park, comfort- ably mingled in the diplomatic cir- cle, comfortably watched trade grow between Bulgaria and the United States. Ever since Versailles—and before —the United States has been friend- ly to the aspirations of Bulgaria. Though she was on the German side in World War I, American delegates at the peace conference opposed carving western Thrace from Bul- garia to give it to Greece. A few years ago, American manu- facturers increased the blending of Turkish tobacco with Virginia, and this meant big exports of Bulgaria's Turkish type tobacco. Naoumoff, as Minister to the United States, traveled about the country meeting many of the 90,000 Americans of Bulgarian origin, giv- ing lectures in American colleges, reminding his audiences that there is an American college in Sofia. But all this is over now. Today, Naoumoff sits in the draw- ing-room of the grey stone house, with the afternoon sun slanting across the red plush furniture, and wonders what Americans think of his conntry’s lineup with the Axis. The prized tobacco trade is gone, and now what will happen’ to the the courage to be just.” MERRY-GO-ROUND ‘The Justice Department has quiet- ly sent one of its crack trust-busting attorneys to Plymouth, Wis., cheese center of the state, to make a secret probe of certain trade practices in- volving possible price-fixing . ..

NUMBERS PLAYER On the same day Representative Bill Byron of Maryland was killed in the Eastern Airlines crash, Sen- ator Ralph O. Brewster of Maine had to go to Boston t6 make a speech. Undismayed by the fate of his Congressional colleague, Brew- ster took a plane from Washington to Boston. He was scheduled to return next day, also by air. But a blizzard came up, and when he got as far as New York he found that all planes on the line he was traveling were grounded.
