København Daglige GangeJanuar 1, 1936Amundsen and Rasmussen's Great Trip North!
Famed Polar explorers and compatriots, Roald Amundsen and Knud Rasmussen, have shocked the exploration community by agreeing to a unification of efforts for what will make up the eighth and grandest Thule Expedition. The powerful duo have gathered a number of their highly experienced comrades such as Olav Bjaaland, Ejnar Mikkelsen, Lauge Koch, Peter Freuchen, Sverre Hassel, Helmer Hanssen, and Christian Leden! This may be the strongest single team in Polar history. While aging and retired from polar adventures, the famous Fridtjof Nansen has nonetheless endorsed and supported the expedition along with other older Polar explorers like Otto Sverdrup. This expedition will be a concerted effort by the Dano-Norwegian Kingdom.
King Haakon himself has already expressed in passing his admiration for the explorers, and no surprise, as Denmark-Norway's strength in the polar field is a matter of great prestige. Prime Minister Stauning, when asked, confirmed that the government had earmarked funds to contribute to the expedition, as had private donors such as Lars Christensen, and charitable bodies such as the Carlsberg Group. Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen has also volunteered his polar piloting skills, he will airdrop supplies if needed and communicate messages back and forth between the expedition and the nation via radio contact at intervals during the expedition.
This expedition will bring together the absolute best and brightest of Dano-Norwegian Polar Explorers and may be the most prestigious expedition in polar history, topping even Roald Amundsen's trek to the South Pole. The Eighth Thule Expedition intends to land at Scoresbysund, on Grønland's east coast (Itseqqortoormiit to natives), stop off at Thule station in northern Grønland and then proceed into the Arctic Ice Shelf. The Eighth Thule Expedition will travel by sled, ski and foot through the North Pole and across to the other side, expected to exit the ice shelf onto the Taymyr Peninsula, Russia, before making their way to the Nenets village of Volochanka and becoming the first expedition to successfully venture across the Arctic entirely, excluding simple flyovers. The expedition will cross a total of over 5,100 kilometers in their journey.Niels Bohr's new liquid-drop atomic model
Niels Henrik David Bohr, director of the Teoretisk Fysik Institut at the University of København, has publicly released his new theory about the compound nucleus, the so called liquid-drop theory which he developed with a fairly new compatriot of his at the Institut, physicist Fritz Kalckar. Bohr is of course an internationally famous scientific giant who has made his nation more than proud by now, Kalckar is a fresh face by comparison but if this early work is any indication, he will serve as a great physicist, particularly if he remain under the careful tutelage of Niels Bohr.
The Liquid-Drop Theory, simplified for the sake of our readers, focuses on the behavior of nuclear particles. Bohr and Kalckar assert that nuclear transition processes and behaviors can be modeled accurately in a more "classical" form than pure atomics. Derived from this, the nucleus of an atom can be modeled as a drop of liquid (in that the nucleons, Protons and Neutrons, act like molecules of a liquid drop). If given sufficient extra energy (as by the absorption of a neutron), a spherical nucleus may be distorted into a dumbbell shape and then split at the neck into two nearly equal fragments, releasing energy.
Bohr and Kalckar's findings related to the liquid drop model and it's applications have been published as a paper, and have been made publicly available to any interested academics. The paper is, in accordance with national regulation, available in both Danish and Norwegian.Government in negotiations with Dansk Industri Syndikat A/S
Thorvald Stauning's Social Coalition government has reportedly initiated buyout negotiations with the influential private company Dansk Industri Syndikat A/S, one of only two notable weapons manufacturers in Denmark-Norway. The only other company involved in the market is Kongsberg Våpenfabrikk which has been a state-owned company since it's inception. Rumors from inside the Folketing hint that Stauning's government plans to acquire Dansk Industri Syndikat A/S and then merge the two companies into a single national weapons manufacturer. This would give the Folketing complete control over the weapons manufacturing industry in Denmark-Norway.
This buyout is supported by both the Communist Party, thanks to it's corporate nationalization, and the Fatherland League who want to fully secure Dano-Norwegian sovereignty wherever potentially threatened. The Liberal Coalition reportedly oppose the buyout and merger, seeing it as unnecessary market interference, but they do not presently hold the numbers to stop the agreement going through nonetheless, if the Folketing does in fact reach an agreement with Dansk Industri Syndikat A/S. Whether the government plans on then investing into military innovation and increasing military exports as rumored, remains to be seen.New Observatory Planned in Northern Norway | Subsidized healthcare passed in Folketing | Quadruplets birthed by Aarhus mother

To: Russian Foreign Ministry
Directed by: Foreign Minister Peter Rochegune Munch, in the name of King Haakon I and VII
Warm greetings from Denmark-Norway, friends. The Dano-Norwegian and Russian governments do not often communicate outside of when either side deems such to be an absolute necessity, and while relations could be closer between our nations, Denmark-Norway respects and appreciates our international relationship as nothing lesser or greater than regional partners. Word may reach your government soon of a Dano-Norwegian expedition across the Arctic. We write to inform you that this expedition will, outside of unforeseen circumstances, likely need to pass through Russian territory to reach home again.
All of the men on the expedition will be sent with Dano-Norwegian passports to certify their citizenship and ease any administration on your government's end. We would simply advise that a relatively small group of Dano-Norwegian citizens will likely arrive in Russia via the Ice Shelf, likely in two months or so. They hold no business in Russia outside of returning home from it, and they carry no weapons with them outside of what is necessary for defending from bears, wolves and other boreal threats. Among the group will be an ethnologist and other culturally involved individuals, so we would ask the Russian government's permission to document the Nenets people who occupy the region of Russia that the expedition will pass through.
Thank you for your cooperation,
Foreign Minister Peter Rochegune Munch
His Majesty, King Haakon I and VII of Denmark, Norway and Iceland

In capitalism, you pretty much have a 50/50 chance of being rich or poor. In communism, it's 1/99. What makes people think they have the luck/skill to become the 1% if they can't even succeed in a 50/50 society???

From: Antonio Gramsci, Socialist Republic of Italy
To: Esteemed comrades in the Spanish People's Union and German Socialist Republic
Dear Comrades,
As you well know, history stops for no one. We are pushing the boundaries of our continent and for this the forces of reaction, while in different forms, are seeking to crush us. We must stand firm and united. For this, I request that a meeting is held between our countries and, perhaps other friendly countries to us. We must decide on a common strategy and goals in order to be effective against the reactionaries of the world who are, in many cases, our bordering nations. The Revolution must not be lost, for the sake of our children, our grand children and for every human being on Earth. A meeting should be scheduled and we must stand firm in the face of adversity. Long Live the International! Long Live the Revolution!
With revolutionary regards,
Antonio Gramsci

Celebrations On Anniversary of Constitution
Nationwide celebrations marked the first annual Constitution Day with the main event taking place in Berlin. Representatives of all major political parties, national unions, local associations and militias, as well as masses of ordinary workers turned out for the day's events. Red flags and banners filled the streets as people made their way to Platz der Republik. There they joined prominent national leaders in a rousing rendition of the Internationale and heard several musical performances.
Several speeches were given with Vice-Chairman Rosa Luxemburg's in particular being met with rapturous applause. "It fills me with immense pride to be able to stand here today as your representative," Luxemburg told the crowd. "The German people have accomplished what many had deemed impossible, a nation where the common person controls their own destiny. Not only here, but all over the world, true freedom is advancing. It is only through your sacrifice and dedication that this has been achieved." She went on to praise the courage of working people worldwide, promising to serve their interests. Socialist Youth leader Herbert Frahm's speech was also praised by many observers. Frahm implored German youth to do their part in defending the country and assisting in its development. He has been partially credited with record militia enlistment from students.
The tone in Munich was somewhat different as the day was also used to commemorate those who died fighting there nearly six years ago. Defense Minister Ernst Thalmann, who led Communist Party forces during the battle, laid a wreath at a memorial to the dead. A march of local troops marked with black armbands of mourning took place through the city center. Back in Berlin, President Karl Kautsky stated of the fighting "our people rose with courage, fought like lions and died as heroes. Their deaths touched many across the country, but also ensured the freedom of generations to come. Let us not forget them." He called on all Germans to honour their sacrifice by working towards the kind of society they had fought for.
Greetings to Our Italian Brothers,
You message is welcome news indeed. The German Socialist Republic agrees wholeheartedly with this proposal. The founding of the Third International years ago was merely the first step in cooperation. Now is the time to fully coordinate our efforts, lest the revolution be stamped out by the forces of barbarism. If needed, our government can host such a meeting.
In Solidarity,
Karl Liebknecht
