BOLD MANIFESTO
ISSUE BY CHURCHES IN NORWAY DEFIANCE OF QUISLINGS. DEFENCE OF THE RIGHTS OF CONSCIENCE. (Bv Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, March 23. Churches in Norway were crowded on Sunday when the bitter struggle between the Church and the Quisling regime reached a possibly decisive stage, says the Stockholm newspaper “Dagens Nyheter.” From almost every pulpit clergymen read a manifesto that they will refuse to remain in the service of the Church if education and other questions are not settled satisfactorily. The manifesto declared that the taking from parents of the responsibility for their children and violation of the Divine rights of the home and parents’ conscience were directly involved. It added that the Church in present circumstances was unable to hand over education to the State. Two hundred and eighty teachers were arrested in Oslo on Friday for failure to obey' the Quisling regime. Similar action was taken elsewhere. More than 200 teachers, some aged over 60, were sent to northern Norway from southern areas, and made to do hard labour on a new railway under military guard.
