Confronted with the fact that rising
prices virtually had wiped out the
effect of ten-cent-an-hour wage in
crease provided in contract signed
by the company and the union six
months ago, the plant manager pre-
sented the matter to Wylie Brown,

The result was an informal agree

COMMENT ON WORLD EVENTS

Nineteen months under the Nazi
heel, whole people in chains, find
the Danes united solidly behind King
Christian as never before in their his
tory, following his example of calm
and dignity and looking up to him, as
their only leader, to do the right thing
at the right time, says statement re-
viewing recent events in Denmark re-
leased by American Friends of Danish
Freedom and Democracy, with head
quarters in New York.
The Danes bide their time, and
meanwhile defy the Nazis with "spir-
itual sabotage" including the univer-
sally practiced "cold shoulder" even
though the KS badge of the Danish
"Cold Shoulder Club" has been out
lawed in Denmark along with Statue
of Liberty pins.
True, incidents of physical sabotage
are many, and penalties severe, with
Danish prisons so overcrowded that
people figuratively must stand in line
awaiting their turn, but violence ac-
cords less with the temperament of
Danes than does spiritual resistance
which frequently is scented with Da-
nish humor. The "cold shoulder" as
sumes many forms and is having tell
ing effect.
Such was the deceit perpetrated on
the good-natured Danes, and such the
perfdy of the German assault in 1910,
that the Danes never had chance to
defend themselves.
ITO begin with, people suffered a
keen sense of humiliation that they
had no opportunity to resist, and ad-
mired and envied the Norwegians,
says refugee from Copenhagen. "But
soon modification changed to anger
and now a wave of hatred is sweeping
the country 1t rose last winter and
continues swelling. Everybody re-
joices when the British bomb US and
