B. The Norwegian is doing its best to keep the growth of the soil industry under control. A new law limits

exploration to an area south of the southern end of the long coastline; production limits have been laid down( though

these have already been raised); and oil companies have been allowed to employed more than a limited number of

foreign workers. But the oil industry has away of getting over such problems, and few people believe that the

Government will be able to hold things back for long. As one Norwegian politician said last week: “ We will soon be

changed beyond all recognition.”

Ever since the war, the Government has been carrying out a programme of development in the area north of the

Artic Circle. During the past few years this programme has had a great deal of success. Tromso has been built up into

a local capital with a university, a large hospital and a healthy industry. But the oil industry has already started to draw

people south, and within a few years the whole northern policy could be in ruins.

The effects of the development of the oil industry would not be limited to the north, however. With nearly

percent employment, everyone can see a situation developing in which the service industries and the tourist industry

will lose most of their workers to the oil industry. Some smaller industries might even disappear altogether when it

becomes cheaper to buy goods from abroad.

The real argument over oil is its threat to the Norwegian way of life. Farmers and fisherman do not make up

the majority of the population but they are an important part of it because Norwegians see in them many of the

qualities that they regard with pride as essentially Norwegian. And it is the farmers and the fishermen who are most

critical of the oil industry because of the damage that it might cause to the countryside and to the sea.
