abolished in Hungary and that the Hungarian

35. NORWAY. A subject of Norway is liable 
to performance of military duty in and after 
the calendar year in which he reaches the age 
of 21 years. 
Under the naturalization treaty between the 
United States and Sweden and Norway, a 
naturalized citizen of the United States for¬ 
merly a subject of Norway is recognized as an 
American citizen upon his return to the coun¬ 
try of his origin. He is liable, however, to 
punishment for an offense against the laws of 
Norway committed before his emigration, sav¬ 
ing always the limitations and remissions 
established by those laws. Emigration itself 
is not an offense, but nonfulfillment of military 
duty and desertion from a military force or 
ship are offenses. 
A person liable to the performance of mili¬ 
tary duty who emigrates before January 1 of 
the year in which he reaches the age of 20 or 
after this time with due permission and who 
returns and reports personally in the proper 
manner, is enrolled for service together with 
the class with which he is registered, but is 
transferred to the second draft and is dis¬ 
charged at the same time as the men with whom 
he, according to his age, should have registered. 
After the end of the seventh conscription year 
(the year he reaches the age of 27) he is free 
2*3 
from ordinary service in time of peace. Con¬ 
scripts who have not been drafted by the end of 
the seventh year, through no fault or neglect of 
their own, will be free from military service 
in time of peace. 
Any person liable to military service who 
leaves the country without a permit, will, when 
he returns, be drafted preferentially and at¬ 
tached to the less-favored branch for which he 
is fitted. Even though he may have passed the 
common age of conscription, he will be required 
to serve the entire period. In no instance, 
however, will he be required to serve after hav¬ 
ing passed the age of 50 years. 
If a naturalized American citizen of Norwe¬ 
gian origin remains as long as two years in 
Norway, he is obliged without being summoned 
to present himself for enrollment at the first 
session, since he is then deemed by Norway to 
have renounced his American citizenship. 
If he renews his residence in the Kingdom 
without intent to return to America, he is held 
to have renounced his American citizenship. 
Under article 1 of the treaty between the 
United States and Norway, signed at Oslo No¬ 
vember 1, 1930 (U.S. Treaty Series 832), a 
person born in the territory of one country of 
parents who are nationals of the other country, 
and having the nationality of both countries 
under their laws, shall not, if he has his habitual 
residence, that is, the place of his general abode, 
in the territory of the state of his birth, be 
held liable for military service or any other act 
of allegiance during a temporary stay in the 
territory of the other party.
