NORWAY’S STRUGGLE
LONDON, March 23,
Churches in Norway were crowded on Sunday when the bitter struggle between the Church and the Quisling regime reached possibly a decisive stage, says the Stockholm newspaper Dagensnybeter. From almost every pulpit clergymen read a manifesto that they refuse to remain in the service of the Church if education and other questions are not settled satisfactorily. The manifesto declared deprivation of parents of the responsibility for their children and violation of the Divine rights of the home and parents’ conscience were directly involved, and added: The Church in the present circumstances is unable to hand over education to the State. Two hundred and eighty teachers were arrested in Qslo on Friday for failure to obey the Quisling regime. Similar action was taken elsewhere. Over 200 teachers, some aged over 00, have been sent to Northern Norway from the southern areas and made to do hard labour oil a new railway under a military guard.
