WHAT NEW EUROPE
THINKS OF AMERICA
(By G. S. STRANDVOLD)
(By G. S. STRANDVOLD)

the time-tested mutual admira-
ton alive. There was some mis-
understanding, chiefly dating
from the time when the United
States declared war on Germany,
and there was in America a ten
dency to characterize the Swedes
as pro-Germans. Certain ill-fat-
ed events seemed to lend color
to the charge. notably Sven He
din's loudly proclaimed friend
ship for the Germans, and the
Luxburg "spurlos versenkt" af-
fair which is still wildly re-
membered.
Americans had some difficulty
in realizing the necessity for the
maintenance of Swedo-German
commercial relations, and some
Of them insisted that in view of
the fact that so many Swedish
vessels were torpedied by the
Germans, there would be ample
justification for a Swedish dec
laraticn of war.
It was. and still is. rattle
serious thing TO charge an entire
nation VIII making common case
with an enemy of civilization
and it ought to be said that, tax
en- as whole. the charge was
without foundation.
People were pro-AlE.
There was in the charge thi:
grain Of truth that some mem
bers Of the ancient Swedish no
bility were pro-Germans, anC
that the attitude of the extreme
radicals and of the Socialis'
might indicate leaning towar,
German sympathies.
| But the people as a whole wer,
as one with the Allies. Naturally
the country must respect her off
cially proclaimed neutrality. ever
though the inclination to be ju
bilant when news of Allied vic
tories was received was a tempt
ing one.
Later on. that is, after the gen
eral armistice between the major
belligerents had been signed. tn,
Swedes did not care as much a.
before about their formal neutra
lily. and for this reason some O
the strongest pro-Ally sympa
thies found eloquent expression
although the government natur
4 ally continued to maintain it's at
titude of strict neutrality.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1920-07-29

There was in this country
some doubt as to the motives un-
DERIVING the American declara-
ton of war. Intelligent Swedes
admit that, but they add that
the ideals which were enunciat-
ed in the speeches and notes of
President Wilson did much to
convince them that America had
become an important factor in the
development of world affairs,
and that-America was on the
right side Of the fence.
For the time being there is a
tendency to suspend opinion as
to the attitude Of America in in
ternational affairs. The Swedes
are not doubling the unselfish-
ness of American motives, but
hesitate in pronouncing judy
ment upon some of the methods
applied by American diplomacy;
they are somewhat worried be-
cause of the once more prolonged
technical state of war existing
between the United States and
the German republic, for Swed-
lsh commerce suffers quite lit
tie on that score.
In regard to intensified COM
mercial relations between the
United States and Sweden you
hear on every hand the desire
that this may be further devel-
oped> No foreign business men
are more widely respected over

and the stately Swede comedies

Just as much of a gentleman as
he is business man. For that
reason they have confidence in
him.
Facing Political Crisis.
AT the present time Sweden is
trying an experiment that is be-
ing watched with the closest at
tention throughout the world:
The country is governed by the
only wholly Socialistic cabinet in
the world, headed by Hjalmar
Branting who, by the way. is one
of the rather sympathetic repre-
sentatives of his party.
But there is a popularity that
invites attention: 1t is this that
as soon as the Socialists came in
to power here. they adopted me-
thods that reminded one of con-
servatism. History repeats it.
self. for it has been seen time
and again that a radical minority
has gained sudden political in
fluence and then ceased to be q
power.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1920-07-29

The men were not called syn
dicalists in the beginning. but
merely young Socialists" and
as a general rule it was true of
them that they had no political
principles or convictions. Their
underlying idea was pro-
nounced disinclination to do any
work and to get as much money
as possible for what they did not
perform.
The government-which at
that time was not Socialistic-
applied rigorous measures to the
movement, and some of the lead
ers of young socialism" were
sent to the state penitentiary
for life.
Stern methods resulted in a
decrease of young socialism" in
Sweden, and although it is still
rampant. it enjoys no real pow
err. Organized Socialism does
not recognize the insurgent
movement in the EXTREMIST radi-
cal ranks. but it does look as
though the present government
might use it's iron fist a little
less leniently than it has a ten
dencv to do.

fairs; the industrial conditions

If one might be paradoxical, it

If one might be paradoxical, it
would be almost true to say that
the most effective way in which
to kill Socialism in it's most out
spoken phases is to give the
reins of the government into So
cialistic hands. The Socialists
then become as docile and sweet
as though they had never formed
one of the opposition parties,
but it should be added, that the
experiment should not be at
tempted where doubt exists as
to its ultimate outcome.
1t is true that the Branting
government is trying to solve
some social problems in accord
ance with the tenets of MARKHAM
Socialists. notably in regard to
municipal taxation, and that for
this very reason liberals and con-
servatives are allying their for
ces for the one purpose Of de-
feating Socialism at the cleo
tions soon to be held.
Syndicalism Decreasing.
There is in Sweden a group of
syndicalists who are rather more
dangerous than their comrades"
in the two other Scandinavian
countries. In a certain sense it
can be said that syndicalism
started here before elsewhere in
Europe and that it was one of
the forerunners Of active Boil
shevism as we now see it applied
in Russia.

WHAT THE SWEDES THINK OF
AMERICA


June 4.
Hjalmar Cederlund. local
tailor, is dissatisfied with the
wages he would have to pay his
employees if he had any. But
he .has discharged them ALL 1t
is no paying proposition to have
even able men in your employ
nowadays, at least, that is what
Mr.. Cederlund says.
One is inclined to believe he
is right. for he tells me that he
buys his cloth right here. sends
it to Germany. pays duty on it
there, has it made into suits in
a German city, gets it back into
Sweden paying duty once more
and at that it is far cheaper
than if he had to hire help right
in his own city and pay wages
now demanded.
1t is clear that such state Of
things is untenable and abnor-
NAL, and that it tends to make
conditions worse than they have
been before. especially when it
is recalled that the case is by
no means an isolated one.
One Phase of Public Sentiment.
Under circumstances that are
admittedly peculiar it is not easy
TO arrive at fair and correct con-
illusions as to what this country
thinks of the United States and
the Americans in general. but
some general observations may
be made.
1t must be remembered that
there is a tie Of old friendship
between the Swedes and the Am
orleans. Some of the very ear.
hest settlements in America
were Swedish, and to this very
day the municipal colors of the
city of Philadelphia are blue
and yellow like those OF
Sweden. From the early
part Of the seventeenth cen.
fury there has been until a few
years ago, an almost uninter.
rupted current Of Swedish emf.
grafton moving toward America
and the great Northwest has
been built up very largely by
Swedes and their sons and daugh.
tiers. More thoroughly than
probably any other foreign race
in the United States the Swedes
have become affiliated with pub.
lie life in the New World, and a
few Of the really great men OF
America were Swedes or Swedish
descendants.
| Technical ingenuity and skill
and highly developed artistic
ability have been among the
particular features that have en-.
deared Swedes to Americans, and
time has shown that the two ra.
ces have a great deal in common
