SCANDINAVIA
 RESISTS LURE OF DICTATORS
Elections Prove Democracy Is Safe In Sweden, Norway And Denmark

sible foundation for the work of the government"
 In Denmark the government has been headed since 1929 by Premier Theodore Stauning, Socialist. The cabinent is composed of a coalition of the Socialists and the Radicals Last autumn the combination won 82 out of 149 seats in the Folkting the lower house of parliament. But thorn in its side has been the Langsting, the upper house. This has been the last stronghold of the reactionaries, who often thus blocked progressive legislation. So this year there was a resoundiug and bitter election for a new Land- sting.
 Government by Lottery
 The government declared if it won a majority in the Landsting, it would immediately proceed to pass laws doing away with that body. making parliament unicameral. The result was almost unique in elec- tion history. The government won 37 seats. The combined opposition won 37 seats. All depended upon the little island of Bornholm. And there the electors voted three times in succession-23 for the govern- ment, g for the opposition. To break the deadlock, 1t was finally decided to draw the name of the winner out of a 3000-year-old bronze urn found in a tomb in Bornholm. The government won. It now has a majority in the Land sting, but will probably not do away with that body, because of the elec- tions and referendum 1t would en- tail.
 Norway has had Labor govern ment since March, 1885. Labor did not have a majority in the Stort- ing, but, as 1t. was the largest party, was tolerated by the others. In the elections recently held, the Labor ties did their utmost to secure an absolute majority. Despite the fact that they gained 100000 votes, they won only 2 more seats, giving them 71 out of the 150 in the Sorting. The Conservatives, whose poll only went up by 10000, gained 5 seats. Johann Nygaardsvold, the Labor premier, said the result was vic tory for what they represented and the government would carry on as before.

BY MILTON BRoNNER

NEA Service Stan correspondent London-A shining democratic light in the murky darkness of Eu- ropean dictatorships- that's Scan- dinavia.
 Recent nationwide elections un- derline it, stress 1t, emphasize 1t. The sturdy folk, some of whose kinsmen have become solid citizens of American states like Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and the Dakotas, have refused to be drawn by the siren voices of Communism or by the more strident song of Fascism and NaZidom, They have remained sane. They have kept their feet planted on the ground and their heads clear.
 The workmen in the cities and on the farms have united and made Scandinavia safe for de- mocracy. If that democracy takes the form of Social Democracy, 1t need not fool the American read CT. The Scandinavian brand of Socialism is more democratic, more liberal than the extreme Marxism known elsewhere. It is not Red. It could hardly even be called pink. The best proof of this is that in Sweden the Agra rian = the farmers party - joins with it in the government, while in Denmark the Radicals do 50.
 Socialist Strength Increased
 In, Sweden, the biggest, richest and most populous of the Scandi- navian states, the Social Demo- crats won a resounding victory in September. They had ruled the country for some years by reason of a coalition with the Agrarians. Last June there was crisis. The Social Democrats are pacifists- if the. world allows them to be. But they realized that in rapidly arming Europe, Sweden, too, must take care of its defense. They of- fered to their partners in the coalition to back rearmamant if the others in turn would back i'm provement in social insurance. No agreement was reached. The cabinet thereupon resigned and a stop-gap Right coalition formed the government. In the September elections the parties of the Right tried their best to scare the electors by Red bogies. The solid, unfright- ened Swedes gave the Social Demo- cratic party ann increase of over 300,000 in the popular vote and 112 seats, instead of 102 in the last par lament. The real Reds, the Com munists, only got seats and the Nazis got none.
 Hanson Recalled to Premiership
 Old King Gustav at once called upon his Social Democratic friend, the beloved Per Albin Hanson, again to form the government. He did so, including Agrarians in his cabinet.
 Said Per Albin:
 "In these days, when democracy is surrounded by enemies, it Is more than usually necessary to safeguard the system of government by the people by creating the broadest pos

WORK SHEETS SENT
ON SOIL PROGRAM
Sheets Not Contracts but
j Cooperators Must Fill
One Out for Year

College Station, Raleigh, April 22.-
Approximately 100000 work sheets
have been distributed over the State
for use by North Carolina farmers in
the new soil-improvement program.
These sheets are not contracts, said
Dean 1. o. Schaub, of State College,
but every farmer cooperating in the
program will need to fill one out.
They will be used in setting up each
growers base acreage of soil-deplet-
ing crops, with the exception of cot
ton, tobacco, and peanuts, which will
be determined according to bases es-
tablished under the old AAA.
They will also show the acreage of
soil-building and conserving crops on
farms last year, and serve as a guide
in carrying out provisions of the new
program, the dean pointed out.
Figures on the work sheets will be
used in determining the maximum
amount of soil-depleting crops the
growers can divert\ into soil-building
or conserving crops and receive di-
version payments.
Later in the year, county commit
tees will use the work sheets when
they check up on the growers per-
Torrance to ascertain the amount of
payments for which they will have
qualified.
The dean urged all growers to Sc
cure work sheets from their county
farm agents as soon as possible. The
agents, committeeman, and members
of the agents office staffs are aiding
farmers fill them out.
When going to fill out work sheet,
the dean said farmer should take
with him figures showing the acre
age and yields of all crops on his land
last year.

Roosevelt to see that Ickes has the
disposal of at least half, or there
abouts, of the additional $1,000, 900, 900
asked for by the administration to
keep PWA and WPA activities going.
Briefly, Ickes wants relief money to
go into permanent improvements,
while Hopkins argues for made
work." popularity known as "boondog-
Cling"
OF "REAL VALUE
Ickes' reasoning of course, is that
the country should get something of
real and lasting value for what it is
spending instead of broadcasting
funds in what virtually is charity.
Hopkins, it scarcely is necessary to
say, has no objection to lasting value,
and, indeed, asserts that he is get
ting quite bit of it out of his So
called "boondoggling' His contention,
however, is that the. sort Of improve
ments insisted on by Ickes cost too
much for raw materials, not leaving
enough to go into wages.
Ickes admits that job of leaf-rak-
ing, for example, undoubtedly is moth
ing whatever but wages, except for
the price of the rake, whereas the
construction, say, of a new public
building involves the purchase Of steel
cement and numerous other items, as
well as expenditure for labor to put
them together. Furthermore, he points
out, labor is required to provide the
steel, cemnt, ct cetera. Thus, accord
ing to his version, as many hands are
employed in the erection of a useful
building as can be employed at use
less leaf-raking.
TOO SLOW'-HOPKINS
All that may be true, comedies Hop
kins, but it is too slow a process; what
is needed now is immediate employ
ment
No, reoins Ickes, it is not slow pro-
cess; work on new building can not
| be started in a minute, but the in
| slant it is authorized the producers
of the material required for it will get
busy.
Hopkins denies this. Much time is
| lost, he says, in merely planning Zig
improvement, but a huge force of
men can be set to leaf-raking on al
most no notice at all.
