And what are the advantages which
we owe SO far to this protection?

Industrial development in the Scan.
dinavian countries has resulted in
checking emigration from Sweden,
Norway and Denmark. Within the
last 20 years the Scandinavian coun-
tries, through the more extensive use
Of water power. nearly trebled the
horsepower used in their industries.
AS consequence the growing de-
mand for laborers was considerably
greater than the increase in popula-
ton. 1t is safe to assert that for .
long time after the war the Scandi-
pavian industries will be kept busy
with orders from former belligerents,
who, especially during the first period
of reconstruction following the con-
clusion of peace, will be in need OF all
the help they can get from the Scan
dinavian industries.
The water power utilized in the in
dustries Of Sweden at the beginning
of this year aggregated $4,000 horse
power. The power stations In the
process of construction will add $4,000
horsepower.

The Swedish government has
opened subscriptions for an internal

these terms indicates that the govern
ment's credit is on par with that OF
any country in the world.

NEW MARINE co. RULE SEEN.
Belief That international Corpora
ton Has Control.

Wall Street heard many conflicting re-
ports yesterday about the amount OF
preferred and common stock OF the In
ternational Mercantile Marine Company
that had been acquired la the past few
days by the American International Cor
poration.
In some quarters II was reiterated that
tho American International has gained
control of the Mercantile Marine Com
pany through the purchase in the open
market of more than 100000 shares OF
the preferred and $4,000 or more shares
Of the common stock. This was gem
orally believed. In other quarters II
was said that the American 1%nterna-
:ionaI has not acquired control. but has
simply purchased sufficient stock to gain
representation on the Mercantile Ma
rine board.
II was said by those in close touch
with the AFFAIRS Of one of the protec-
tive committees that the amount Of pre-
fcrrcd stock purchased by the American
International Corporation was only so.-
600 shares. and hat a comparatively
small amount OF the common has been
bought.
There was a report that the American
International would soon make "a cash
offer to the committees representing the
preferred and common stock for their
holdings. This was characterized by a
banker as Illogical"
