SCANDINAv|ANS
BOLSTER TIES
Nations of North Are
Finding This War
Disillusioning
SCANDINAVIA

The Scandinavian nations, sur
rounded by wars which have Grip
pied their exports. raised living
costs, and reduced their merchant
fleets. today are following diver
gent policies aimed at one end
neutrality and integrity.
Thus. while there Is no common
line of action. the war has fused
Norway, Sweden and Denmark
into a Scandinavian bloc which ex-
tends moral and voluntary aid to
Finland. but refuses direct mill
tary help.
With more than five months
of the western Europe war COM
pleted. the Scandinavians have
learned to expect none Of the
profits they received from the last
war, and more than the losses of
1e14-1e1s.
Armies Are Growing
Sweden has shown the greatest
efforts to establish. for the first
time in more than a century. a
large modern army, with complete
and up-to-date equipment. The
project is a severe strain on ma
tional economy. but has been sup
ported almost unanimously by the
Swedish press.
Norway, likewise considering the
future possibility of a victorious
Soviet army camped on its from
tiers, at present shows tendency
TO make similar increases and i'm
provements in her armed forces
Denmark. on the other hand, has
made no appreciate attempts to
increase her standing army.
Ties Are Binding
Finland had never formed a bloc
with the Scandinavian nations.
She had, however, close political,
economic and military ties with
the Baltic states, with foreign
policy based largely on friendship
with Germany.
Since the Russian-German pact
and the Russian-Finnish war, there
has been practically a rupture of
Finnish German relations, accom-
panied by strong tendency
throughout Scandinavia to con-
slider Finland a member of the
bloc.
Economic considerations con-
tinue to hold the center of interest
in Denmark, Sweden, and Nor
way.
Danes Are Careful
No common stand had been
taken on shipping policies as yet
but 1t is felt the three nations may
soon unite to adopt means of cut
ting their rising losses in mer-
camille shipping.
At present most Norwegian
ship headed for England and
France travel in British conveys,
without any appreciable decline in
wartime losses. Swedish shippers
are allowed to make individual
decisions, and split almost evenly
between travelling in convoy and
alone.
Denmark, however, within easy
reach for Germany, subscribes to
German claims that a merchant
ship travelling in convoy is a
legitimate target for attack, and
has forbidden all ships of Danish
registry to enter a belligerent con-
voy.

Tags Target
OF Van Duzer

Trafic Director william A. Van
Duzer has started q campaign to
make illegal the use on automobiles
licensed by the District of any tags,
insignia or wise-cracking signs
deemed "likely to be confused" by
police officers with official tags.
1t was reported that spurious
foreign government auto tags had
been found on some cars here and
that this inspired the move for
stronger regulation.
MIR. Van Duzer's first proposal has
been changed somewhat by members
of the corporation counsers ONCE.
but a proposed regulation is to be
sent to the Commissioners for ac-
ton. The lawyers have modified
Mr.. Van Duzer's original draft on
the ground that it might have pre-
vented even the placing Of a car
manufacturers insignia on cars un-
less Mr.. Van Duzer approved.

Measure 10 Outlaw
Abuses Of Labor
Meets Opposition
La Toilette Urges Bill,
Saying Defense Coils
For 'Contented People,
Dy the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
Legislation to outlaw Oppressive
labor practices" in interstate indus
try encountered sharp opposition In
the Senate yesterday from members
of both major parties on the ground
1t might slow up the defense pro-
gram and grant to the Secretary of
Labor life and death" power
over business.
Senator Taft, Republican. OF
Ohio sought to send the bill back
to the Labor Committee for further
study, saying that while 1t struck at
undesirable abuses" it was too
complicated.
Senator La Toilette, Progressive,
Of Wisconsin, chairman of the Sem
ate Civil Liberties Committee, which
recommended the measure. argued
that it should be passed because the
first requisite of a nation prepared
to defend itself is a contented and
united people"
Prohibits Armed Guards.
The bill would prohibit use of
labor spies," "strikebreakers,'
armed guards outside an employers
property and possession or use Of
industrial munitions such as tear
gas and machine guns.
Goods produced by violators could
not be shipped in interstate COM
merce, and the Government could
not lend money or award contracts
to Arms found by the Secretary of
Labor to have engaged in the pro-
scribed practices.
Senator Taft asserted that the
measure might increase the cost of
the defense program and make man
ufacturers reluctant to bid for Gov
ernment work. He also expressed
fear that the anti-espionage Sec
ton might hamper investigation of
'subversive" activities in industry.
La Toilette Has Reply.
"This country is in a vulnerable
and helpless position if it has to
depend on private detective agencies
for such investigations" Senator La
Toilette replied.
