Action Must Be Swift
And Effective To
Do Any Good

STOCKHOLM, April %. - (By
Wireless) - Although S w e d S
hope t h Allied victories will
bring about a German collapse in
Norway too, Sweden must be pre-
pared to assist the Norwegians by
military action if necessary" Con-
rad Johnson, governor and party
leader, declared at local meet
ing of the Social Democratic party
in Vasteras yesterday. He added
that in order to render effective
aid to the Norwegian people and
to prevent the Germans from u.s.
ing robot bombs and counter-at-
tacking, any action taken by
Sweden would have to be swift
and overwhelming. THE Allies"

Of Norway from the sea-
Commander Erik Oberg, Swed-
ish military commentator, speak
ing in Stockholm on April Is, said
that the Swedish Nays lack of
a West Coast fleet had been a
heavy handicap during the war, as
it made contacts with the western
powers very difficult. In case of
Swedish military intervention in
Norway, naval action west of the
Oslo ford would be necessary in
order to make land operations suf-
ficiently speedy and effective. Ow-
ing to the impossibility of NOV
ing fleet units to the West coast,
this is now impossible. Oberg said
"A military intervention in Nor
way would be no walk-over,' said
Colonel Bengt Bengtsson, speak
ing at Gothenburg yesterday. "Or
the contrary it would mean full
mobilization and war. 1t might re.
suit in a German surrender, but
, might also produce a catastro-
phe.'
According to Aftonbladet a ma
jority of the members oc the Riks
lag are opposed to an armed in
tervention because it would make
future humanitarian action impos
sible. but they are prepared to re
consider their position if the situa
ton in Norway and Denmark
should become worse.

1t adds that it is convinced that
most Swedes want armed interven-
ton only if it is absolutely neces-
sary. 1T would be disastrous, it
says, "if Sweden through its own
fault were drawn into the destruc-
ton of war at few minutes past
twelve, thereby compromising the
country's more than century-old
record of neutrality"

A soldier in the 36th Infantry

had been hospitalized most of the
time since then and lately had
been in a hospital which the Rus
SLAMS took over.
But he spoke no Russian and his
immediate attendants spoke no
English so the wars end was just
another day to him. Also his con.
dition was not good enough for
him to be greatly interested in
the excitement around him.
Word Of his location filtered to
the American 133tA Evacuation
Hospital and Pfc. Raymond Wrenr
