Quisling Victory

Norway's political pink elephant is her Labor Party, largest in the Storting (Parliament ) but shackled by massive, bull-necked Premier Johan Ludwig Mowinckel's coalition of small bourgeois parties. Last week Norwegians voted in General Election, gave credit to Major Vidquin Quisling for having changed the Labor elephant's color from Marxist pink to the white of Constitutional monarchy.

Major Quisling was the late, great Fridtjof Nansen's chief aide in feeding 1,600,000 starving Russians with food donated by the Red Crosses of eleven European states. During that episode the

Major saw Bolshevism at its worst and rawest. Recently he founded Norway's Nazi Party, went storming up & down the land in Hitler fashion "To save Norway from our Bolsheviks!" (i. e. Laborites).

Afraid that Major Quisling might catch them napping, as Adolf Hitler caught and destroyed the German Marxist parties, Norway's Labor Leaders abruptly changed their program. No longer battling for "the Dictatorship of the Proletariat," their election speakers in recent weeks have posed as champions of "Norwegian democracy under the Crown" of tall, gaunt, King Haakon VII. Returns from the General Election showed that this shift paid. Labor, as the champion of Constitutional monarchy, won nearly 50% more seats, while all other major parties shrank. Though still without a clear majority, Labor will hold 69 seats in the new Storting of 150 when it meets next January.

Jubilantly Norwegian tories toasted Major Quisling in scorching aqua vitae. His new Nazi Party had won not a single seat but the scare he had managed to throw into Labor they called, not without reason, a thumping Nazi victory.
