During the Inst hundred years Nor way has gradually been changing from un agricultural ' to a manufacturing country. It Is nojv proposed that agricultural rehabilitation go for ward, with ' Industrial enlargement. There is n movement to nationalize the natural resources In order to fulfil both purposes.
