Already in Norway and in Sweden the internal attack of Fascism is beginning; before it becomes too potent, the Liberal and Labor parties of each nation may find it logic to oppose the foreign menace no less than the domestic, thus gravitating toward triple agreements with Denmark against Herr Hitler. Though the Fascist movement in Norway has not made startling progress as yet, it is still very young.
