" NORWAY VIEWED BEFORE C. OF (. fEconomit Conditions of { Country Discussed by Consul General Juneau Chi Members of th of Commerce had as their guest | speaker today, Mr. Jorgen Galbe, ! Norwegian Consul General, here from San Francisco, who, for the past fi weeks, has been touring the ory Speaking informatively on the economic conditions in Norway be- fore the war, Mr. Galbe stated that social and economic {in numerous enterprises or experiments which attracted the attention of all na- lions, Norway became known as the world’s “Social Laboratory.” “Farmers’ cooperatives attained a high degree of development prior to the invasion. Fishermen, too, set up coopeartive marketing organizations. The Norwegian cooperatives were eminently successful and experts came from f; and near to study and to transplant the cooperation idea to their own lands. “In the vast field of social leg- islation,” Mr, Galbe added, “Nor- way has been a pioneer. Typical has been her concern for the wel- 1 of old people. The first pro- posals for old age pensions and invalid: insurance were formulated ,as early as 1850, “Norway’s labor laws have set a I'standard for the world. Compulsory laccident insurance for industrial {'workers was launched in 1894 and State grants to unemployed funds began in 1906. Invasion of Norway |« “cuiturally, Norway was on a high plane,” Mr. Galbe said. fectiveness of the well organized public school system was demon- strated by the fact that there were no illiterates in Norway. “In April of 1940, when Norway was attacked, invaded and overrun by the German hordes, she was ill- prepared to defend herself. She had | then been living at peace with the | world for 126 years and had been devoting her money and attention to those purposes rather than to a military machine. Nevertheless, the Norwegians put up a stiff fight against the inyaders. In attacking Norway, Germany lost one-third of her mighty invasion fleet, a fact | that may have played an important | part in’ her decision to postpone her {invasion of England. Resist Nazis “But even though the Germans \‘lmd overrun all of Norway and the |armed 1 tance of the Norweglan | people w | p remained unconquered. Fully 90 per cent of them steadfastly refused to | cooperate with the occupy power and | stubbornly resisted every new Nazi | encroachment.” In closing, Mr. | hope T chi | war will emerge a world of inter- national cooperation among sov- ereign democratic nations.
