165,OoO0OO kroner before the outbreak
OF the war, its reserve food and other
essentials, have been drained to the point
where Sweden is forced to live from
hand to mouth.
The value of the country's trade has
fallen from 1926, 900 900 kroner in 1929
to 1922 100000 in 1941, but that doesn't
present the whole picture of the serious
ness of the situation, as the rise in prices
OF almost all commodities must be taken
into consideration.
In volume the 194l trade is not more
than half of 1885. Imports today are
only 46 per cent and exports 81 per cent
of those in 1898.
War, which is always hard on the
pocketbook, has made Sweden probably
the most expensive country to live in in
the world. The official cost of living in
an index based on reports from 80 cities
and the budget of workingmans fam
lily of three shows so per cent increase
over 1899.
But that is not indicative of the real
cost of living in bigger cities, such as
Stockholm, where most of Sweden's g.
100000 inhabitants are concentrated.
Actually the average household budget
runs 10 per cent above the pre-war figure
for food, clothes and heat. For example,
a ton of coal used to cost 20 kroner and
now costs 80.
Brings Heavier Taxes.
The war has brought heavy taxes, too
Sweden levies sales tax of from to 6
per cent on every article sold with the
exception of potatoes, and 40 per cent
war tax on luxuries. The underlying
reason for the high cost Of living is the
blockade. Only five or six Swedish ships
sail monthly between the Western Hemi-
sphere and Goteborg. They bring in
wheat, fodder, oil, oil cakes, raw hides,
fruit, canned goods and coffee from
South America, and some cotton oil from
the United States.
The Germans permit the Swedes to
bring in anything. But the rub comes
on the exports because the Nazis refuse
permission to export to America any,
thing which potentially can become a
tool of war. Hence Sweden's exports
westward are virtually zero, and many
safe-conduct ships travel In ballast or

Germans Again PiIIoee
Factories of BELGIUM

Just as they did during the occupation
in 1914-1918, the Germans are organizing
systematic pillage of the Belgian fac
tories
An order issued by the military COM
mander states that factories will be closed
if the Germans do not think it neces-
sary for them to continue in operation,
The manufacture and distribution OF
certain products may also be forbidden.

himself the right to decide what use is

ready to join the hunt for the Nazi super
battleship.
The Rodney hit the Bismarck with her
16-inch guns. She claims also to be the
only capital ship ever to have hit an
other capital ship with torpedoes. The
Rodney fired torpedoes from her bow
tubes.
On another occasion she chased the
Scharnhorse and the Gneisenau, Ger
many's two new cruisers. Although they
avoided battle, it meant gruelling work
down below while the Rodney steamed
hundreds of miles at top speed At one
time she ran nearly five days at practi-
cally top speed.
British naval men say that the Rod
ney's record is not exceptional but typi
cal. Another example they cite is that
OF the destroyer H. M S. Vanoc. Shortly
before her 25th birthday she steamed
17,400 miles in three months and was at
sea II out of 80 days. Landlubbers, who
have little or no comprehension of the
hitting and repair ship must undergo
to keep in trim, ca nscorcely realize what
these records mean. The Vanocs per-
formance was with engines fitted into
the ship in November, 1916, when she
was built

The Nazi press has charged the Swedes
with "sabotaging" the new order in
Norway. 1t has regularly accused the
Swedish daily papers of being hostile
to Germans" has rallied at the SWedes
because lin London and in almost the
same degree in neighboring Stockholm,
1t has become the fashion to represent
the Soviets as heroic crusaders" and has
threatened that Sweden will suffer if she
insists on casting eyes to the west and
east instead of cooperating honorably
with the Germans.
Whether it is that the attacks have
become monotonous because of their reg
ularity or whether it is confidence in
their own strength, the Swedes have
never been perturbed by them.
Although he lives in one of Europes
last islands of peace, where he can rub
shoulders with the foe without clashing.
the Swedes life is deeply scored by the
war, and observers believe that in the
long run Sweden may emerge after the
war as poor as the battle-ravaged coun-
tries.
You find Sweden's streets bright and
colorful today, its shop windows shining
attractively, its stores loaded with the
comforts which the European countries
at war have long since forgotten,
though scarcities are developing even
here. Among the people there is a tenn
pered gayety, relaxation and peace of
mind, and life, perhaps, is more normal
than In any other European country.
Dependent on Imports.
But the longer the war lasts the more
deadly becomes the dislocation of the
national economy Industry and even
agriculture are dependent on imports
which now are reduced to a trickle be-
cause of the country's isolation from the
west.
Raw materials are being shipped out
with little coming back in return, espe-
cially from exhausted countries like Nor
way and Finland, while Germany is hav-
ing difficulty keeping up the deliveries
promised in the trade treaty with
Sweden.
The merchant fleet is dwindling in
tonnage. Some 100000 gross tons have
been lost out of 100000. The industrial
machine is slowly succumbing to friction
with little replacement possible. Even

PEACEFUL SWEDEN FEELS WARS EFFECT
Taxes Rise, Living Costs Increase, Imports Loq

STOCKHOLM, Jan. 9-Encircled by
Axis troops and blockaded economically,
Sweden is doing a political tightrope
walking act in remaining neutral.
She has come through ticklish situ-
alton and has steadily built up her
military resources, and now she Is
stronger than she has been since the
start of the war.
The Axis fires constant broadsides
against Sweden for allegedly violating
her neutrality, and the Swedish press
has admitted that the United States and
England are not entirely satisfied with
her neutrality.
Sweden lost her political balance at
least once. Since then unarmed Ger
man troops have been crossing Swedish
soil between Germany and Norway, an
equal number each way and under strict
control. This traffic mars Swedish neu-
trality and most Swedes don't like the
idea. They say that if a similar issue
arose today-that is, if Germany made
such request-the country would prob
ably fight first.
Sweden has been building up her
army, air force and navy to an unprece-
derted strength, and has been organizing
AFRAID precaution and homeguards and
building AFRAID shelters and bolstering
her defenses otherwise at terrific cost
to the national purse.
Debt Rises.
The national debt has shot up from
81 billion kroner before the war to
eight billion today, and in addition there
is a four-billion deficit. Most of the
money went into defenses.
The country is keeping its army in the
peak of preparedness, especially through
the dangerous spring months. Every
Swede between the ages of 20 and 48 is
affected by the annual three, months call
up even though this seriously disrupts
the country's normal life.
There Is no doubt that the heart of
democratic Sweden is with the United
Nations, and that the Germans realize it,
That explains their steady attacks on
Sweden in the press. The Nazis accuse
the Swedes of being unneutral "by toler-
ating Anglo american infiltration" and
have even gone to the trouble of check
ing booklets, counting the number Of
American and English books as against
German books translated into Swedish.

Vanoc sank two submarines in one night,
ramming one of these.
Behind the performance of the navy
at sea has been the production and re-
pair force in Britain's shipyards. The
record for the three years and four
months is an astonishing one. More than
$4,000 Warshlp repairs and refitS have
been made and 100000 gross tons, or
$4,000 ships, have been put back into
service. Not British merchant vessels
alone, but Norwegian, Dutch, French
and Polish ships have been repaired in
Britain's yards.
Figures Confidential.
While the figures are confidential, the
British claim that they have hung up
shlpbullding records, too. In spite of air
attacks and the cramped, old-fashioned
yards, Britain has launched twice as
much tonnage, based on the amount pro-
duced per capita, as any other nation.
And this is true, according to British
figures, in spite of the fact that the
most remote shipyards lie inside
radius of 400 miles of German airfields
on the European continent.
More than 25 per cent of the British
shlpbuilding program is organized on a
prefabrication basis. While individual
performances are perhaps not as spec
tacular as those at the Kaiser shipyards
IN California, it is possible that the
British total of prefabrication would ex-
ceed ours, since Kaiser is the execution
in America rather than the rule. The
British shipyard workers have worked as
