From the time of its origin on May 17. 1814. when Norways national constitution was adopted. this day was celebrated publicly until the ruthless invader brought terror and oppression on April 9. 1940. People of Norwegian birth and extraction have performed notable service in many lands. Norwegian immigrants have always found it easy to adjust themselves to conditions in the United States because for centuries their forebears had been intensely devoted to personal liberty. Who can read Norwegian history and literature without feeling the deeprooted love of personal liberty which made the ruthless invaders attempt to crush the Norwegian spirit a hopeless task. Neither the honeyed words of the betrayer in 1940 nor bloody bayonets thereafter could do that.
