Det 20de Århundre
Det 20de Århundre ("The Twentieth Century") was a periodical published by the Norwegian Labour Party.[1] It was based in Oslo.[2]
History and profile[edit]
Its purpose was to print background articles on ideology and issues. For news, the party had a full network of newspapers, with Arbeiderbladet (earlier names: Vort Arbeide and Social-Demokraten) as the leading organ.
Editor from 1920 to 1923 was Arvid G. Hansen.[3] From 1929 its editor was Håkon Meyer, but he was fired in 1934 for deviating political views.[4] From 1936 it was edited by Arne Ording and Finn Moe.[5][6]
In 1911 it published a text which was written by internationally known anti-Semite Theodor Fritsch, and translated by the Norwegian anti-Semitic writer Eivind Saxlund.[7] Saxlund had also written a preface. The text was both anti-Semitic and racist in general.[8] The periodical printed a rebuttal in the next issue, but in 1912 Saxlund had an article of his own in print.[9] In it, he lamented a recent "coolie shipment" of 25 Galician labour immigrants; this he perceived as a threat because of possible "miscegenation".[10]
