planned that he was not going to
Stockholm as a refugee but to re-
ceive this years Nobel Prize for lit
erature.
There is something strong and
good in the way the Swedish peo-
pie this year are celebrating the
Festival of Light in a world of
darkness and horror, when, for all
they know. their own lovely and
brilliant capital may tomorrow be
pllunger into the darkness that
hides London and Paris from hos
tile bombing planes. Because, you
see, from deep inside this people
there is rising up flood Of the old
time courage which made the Swed-
ish name and flag and arms the
most respected throughout Europe.
Sees Dangers Ahead.
No less than It's leaders. the
Swedish people see the dangers
ahead. but more, I think, than its
leaders the people understand that
the time has come to stand firm
against the dark forces which
threaten their civilization.
1t is strange thing, but this
highly civilized country is still God
fearing en- masse and believes in
religion. The churches here are
filled as never before, and even men
in the streets echo the words of
the Finnish archbishop, that "the
Bolsheviks are the enemies of God
and man."
That swelling sentiment in the
hearts of the Swedish people may
prove stronger than parliamentary
combinations like this new "coali-
ton government But it seems to
me that much Of the feeling against
the government is somewhat un-
called for. For reasons of interna-
tional policy, the Swedish govern
ment cannot at present define any
line too clearly. On the other hand,
it might, one thinks, be possible to
let.the public know that what can be
done for Finland will be done, and
gladly, with all which that might
imply.

Workers Called Out

DETROIT, July 24.-Tool and die
workers in a 18th General Motors
plant were called out on strike to-
day as representatives of the G. I

the corporation prepared to resume
negotiations for settlement.
A group of skilled workers in

First Melon Ship
Docks Here After
Weathering Storm
Cupt. John WiIIett
Has Skippered Coreoes
For so Years

The good ship c. E. Wright, nearly
swamped by powerful northeast
gale on Old Point Comfort, Va.
made port here early today and
$500 vine-ripe, pink-hearted water
melons were saved.
Capt. John Willett, who for more
years than he can remember has
brought the first watermelon boat
to Washington each summer. says
he wasn't worried even when the
water dashed as high as his helpers
head.
"She's a fine little boat" he said
with some pride. She was just
a year old when I bought her. Now
she's 81 and she's still the fastest
boat on the bay"
1t took two days to make the trip
from Norfolk, Va. The captain
usually makes it in one, but this
was the worst storm he's ever seen
on the bay, and he's virtually an
authority on the subject. He's
worked the bay for nearly so years.
He's not worrying either about
competing with trucks.
'YoI carry watermelons over the
road for 500 miles," he declared,
land they're bound to get stitches
In them"
