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. From 1929 its editor was
Håkon Meyer, but he was fired in 1934 for deviating political views. From 1936 it was edited by
Arne Ording and
Finn Moe. 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. Saxlund had also written a preface. The text was both anti-Semitic and
racist in general. The periodical printed a rebuttal in the next issue, but in 1912 Saxlund had an article of his own in print. In it, he lamented a recent "
coolie shipment" of 25
Galician labour immigrants; this he perceived as a threat because of possible "
miscegenation". ==References==
