NORWAY’S DAY
KING HAAKON’S MESSAGE Rugby, May 16. King Haakon has sent a personal message to his people in Norway on the occasion of Norwegian Independence Day. “To-day you at home and we abroad,” he said, “proudly commemorate May 17 in our hearts and thoughts. To-day it is our generation which has taken up the light for freedom and independence. You at home and we abroad share the same unshakable faith that righteousness and justice must prevail in the end” “The national solidarity of Norway,” he Lidded, “has never been more firmly welded than to-day, and we greet each other with the conviction that your May 17 spirit will give us the real power to tight on to the end. I look forward to the day when the youth of Norway can rejoice once more because our love for the Constitution stands undefeated.”—B.O.W.
