Det 20de Århundre

Det 20de Århundre ("The Twentieth Century") was a periodical published by the Norwegian Labour Party.[1]

History and profile

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.[2] From 1929 its editor was Håkon Meyer, but he was fired in 1934 for deviating political views.[3] From 1936 it was edited by Arne Ording and Finn Moe.[4][5]

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.[6] Saxlund had also written a preface. The text was both anti-Semitic and racist in general.[7] The periodical printed a rebuttal in the next issue, but in 1912 Saxlund had an article of his own in print.[8] In it, he lamented a recent "coolie shipment" of 25 Galician labour immigrants; this he perceived as a threat because of possible "miscegenation".[9]
