instead to place Cuba's seat at the
disposal of India. Mr.. Morgen-
stierne thanked Cuba for it's gen.
erous attitude and emphasized that
he had, of course, been prepared
to take the full consequences of
his action. AS, however, Norway's
withdrawal would mean that Eu-
rope would get only 5 seats on
the Council as against Z seats for
Latin America, he considered it
to be in the interest of an equita-
BILE distribution of the seats that
Norway should withdraw it's mo-
ton in favor of the fine suggestion
which Cuba had made. BY so do
ing Europe and Latin America
would each get 6 seats on the
Council.
The result was that India was
elected in Cuba's place, and this
outcome was greeted enthusiastic
cally by the Conference. The dele
gates of India as well as of the
United States and of the United
Kingdom expressed their warm
thanks to Cuba and Norway, and
the general sentiment of the Con-
ference seemed to be that by this
exercise of practical international
cooperation an example had been
set for the great venture of COM
mon action which lies ahead for
the world.

Swedish Scientist May
Have Found mother
Substance" Of Polio

STOCKHOLM, Dec. = (By wire
less)-Three Swedish scientists,
who previously have made extern
sive and successful research in the
fight against infantile paralysis,
report that they have found a
virus-like albuminous substance in
the bowels and the Emphatic
glands of mice which is identical
with poll virus. The scientists are
Professor The Svedberg of Uppsala
University, who won the Nobel
Prize in Chemistry in 1926; Pro-
fessor Arne Tiselius also of Upp-
sala, and DR.. Sven Gard, promin-
ent bacteriologist. In normal cases,
they announce, this substance is
inactive and harmless and very
common. It may, however, consti-
tute the mother substance" of
real virus, causing disease when
unknown factors, possibly another
infection, changes it's character.
The discovery is said to open new
sensational possibilities for infan-
tile paralysis research.
The announcement was published
in report to the King Gustaf
8Oth Anniversary Fund, which has
appropriated 100000 kronor
(about 1885, 000) for the next three
years for research work in this
field. ION the occasion of King
Gustaf's 8Oth birthday, June 16,
1888, fund amounting to 4,OOO,-
900 kronor, or about $1,0OO,OOO,
was collected among Swedes at
home and abroad and was present
ed to the King, who decided it
should be used to combat infantile
paralysis and rheumatic Diseases

But the great goal can be
reached only by doing full justice

II would like to add that the
delegates of Sweden, and of Ice
land, as well as the Minister of
Denmark, whose countries form
the region of which Norway would
consider itself the representative
on the Council, have declared
themselves eager to join me in

THE SCANDINAVIAN AMERICAN
International Cooperation
In Practical application

At the recent International Civil Aviation Conference in
Chicago something happened which to have bearing
not only that particular conference but also the whole
field of future cooperation between the nations of the world
On the day before adjournment
50 delegations had elected 20 members of Interim Council
which will take of international civil aviation matters
until within few years. permanent council be organ
ized Norway had been given seat the Interim Council
as the representative of the Scandinavian countries
At the same India had received considerable number
of votes enough to place the Council

Ol NOUSS, UuI IlOI CIlOu6A W
This was the cause of much re-
greet and even resentment among
the various delegations, and there
was a danger that this might in
terfere with the Conference end
ing on that note of harmony
among the freedom-loving nations
which today is essential to the
future of the world.
The Norwegian delegation felt
that in the interest of the Con-
ference, as we'll as of international
cooperation in general, action
would have to be taken without
delay. Some concrete gesture had
to be made in order to emphasize
that true international cooperation
is not possible if every nation does
not stand ready, whenever the cir
cumstances require, to make con-
cessions in the interest of all.
At the opening of the last meet
ing of the Conference, AmbaSSa-
dor Wilhelm Morgenstierne, chair
man of the Norwegian delegation,
asked to be recognized and made
the following statement:
After The most earnest consider
alton and without having had OPP
portunity to consult my Govern
ment, l have taken it upon my
self to make the following state
ment to this Conference.
AT our plenary session yester-
day, we elected 20 members of the
council of the International Civil
Aviation Organization. AS an in
cident of that election, most GER
tainly unintended, the great EN-
pire of India did not obtain a
seat in the Council. l believe that
there is unanimous regret among
my colleagues that India, who was
a runner up in Category B, did
not make the grade.
1T is quite unnecessary for me
to point out the just claims OF
India to be represented in our
Executive body. Her geographical
position, her population of almost
four hundred million people, the
facilities offered by her to inter-
national air routes, all make it
not only just, but also a matter
of common interest to us all that
a representative of India should
take his place on our Council.
In order to make this possible,
l shall place at the disposal of
this Conference the seat of the
Council to which yesterday you
graciously elected Norway. | do so
not unmindful of the great honor
which you bestowed upon my
country and for which we are
deeply and sincerely grateful. l
do it wholly unsolicited and on
my own initiative and response
bility. I do it in the earnest be-
lief that my Government will ap-
prove my action.
There are occasions when one
has to act independently and take
individual responsibility. l want
to say frankly to this conference
that to my mind there is not a
thing in the world today which
is half so important as interna-
tional cooperation and goodwill.
The alternative to this is too ter
rible even to contemplate. The
peace, the future, the very exist
ence of coming generations, is
dependent upon our getting to-
gether in a spirit of real under
standing and human brotherhood
Any immediate advantage which
any of us might secure is indeed
of little avail compared to the
fundamental gain and blessing of
Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1945-01-01

England Has More Babies,

London - CUP) The stork con- tinued to work overtime in Eng land and Wales during the first three months of this year, a tabu- lation of the Registrar General records shows.

But Cupid's arrows apparently same period. The number of mar riages was the second lowest for any quarter since the war. though the rate is still slightly higher than that of prewar years.
 Up to March 31 this year 62,599 couples were married. This number exceeds by only 262 the figure for the first quarter last year, which was the lowest of the war. It is 8,338 more, however, than the first quarterly average for the five years before the war.
 Of the babies, 94,964 were boys

 Automobile production for the first three of four years after the war will be at the annual rate of 6000,000 cars compared with 3,500,- 900 replacements annually before the war, in the opinion of Mo- Connell.

BRITAIN HAD HER
 PEARL HARBOR ALSO

On the day Japan stabbed Amer ica in the back by attacking Pearl Harbor, she also stabbed Britain in the back by attacking Hong Kong.
 That was only eighteen months after Dunkirk, and all of Britain's strength-both productive and mili- tary-had been strained to the ut most fighting an actual war in Europe and North Africa. Britain had little more than token forces and token arms to spare for pa tential war in the East.
 When it came she was, of course, outnumbered and outequipped by the Japanese But British, Aus tralian, Canadian, Indian, Burman and Malayan soldiers bought time" by fighting valiant and stubborn de- laying actions.
 They fought in Malaya, Singapore, Burma, and gave naval aid to their Dutch Allies in the Netherlands aEst Indies.

 ment authorities who have been seeking a picture of Americas post war economy.
 There are two definitely op- posed schools of thought, however, on whether synthetic rubber pro- duction will continue at a high rate after the war-a rate already high enough to satisfy the normal needs of the country. Some believe the output will be cut from more than 100000 tons annually to be- tween 25O,0OO and 500,O0O tons, thus allowing for near preWar i'm ports of natural rubber. The other side believes there will be tremen- dous production with only small imports after some of the "bugs'' are combed out of the present product.
 All feel, however, that at the present stage of development the natural product must be blended with the synthetic to produce ef- ficient heavy duty tires. On the side of those who would cut pro- duction is the school which be- lieves in imports as a means of keeping commerce alive even at the expense of dependence on out side sources for the product. They point out that shutdown synthetic plants could with very little diff culty be shifted into the manu- facture of plastics for which great postwar demand is seen.
 Require High Skill
 But from the standpoint of em- ployment of millions of persons tt.ese industries have little to offer because of their highly technical nature. For the most part the per- sons engaged in synthetic rubber manufacture and manufacture of electronic equipment are highly skilled, generally highly paid and their training consumes years of sctudy and laboratory work.
 The experts agree thaht synthetic rubber will be used to great ad- vantage on passenger cars but that in the heavy duty field there is much lacking.
 However, whatever employment may be lost in synthetic production will be multiplied by jobs made in the overseas shipping business as result of demand for raw rubber
 The National Radio Manufactur- CTS Association sees employment of 100000 persons in the industry within three years, compared with 10000 to 80000 in the late prewar years. With the advent of tele- vision these figures will rise sharp ly, an official of the association predicted.
 NylOn Has Future
 Nylon, spurred by war-founc uses has great employment possi- bilities, according to Robert E Mcconnell, who has conducted a postwar industry survey for Sec retary of the Treasury Henry Mor. genthau, Jr.
 Nylon will be used in the core of the better automobile tires. It also will be used to a greater eX- tent for manufacture of tough cordage and to an increasing de- gree in the manufacture of hosiery and clothing fabrics, thus offering additional employment.

Team Work Of |U. 5. Generals An Historic Feat
BY FRED SCHERFF United Press Staff Correspondent

i tUnIted Press Statf COrreSpOnueht'
 Washington-UP )-Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, as the master archi- tect of the victory over the German war machine, had with him in the top echeIon of his staff one of the best American teams of ground- air-sea commanders United States history has ever produced.
 The leaders of the ground forces team who will go down in the books for teaching the inventors of the blitzkrieg the real meaning of the word are It. Gems. Omar N. Brad ley, 51, commander of the American ground troops in the European the ater; George s. Patton, Jr., 58, com- mander of the 3rd Army; Courtney H. Hodges, 57, commander Of the 1st Army, and Alexander M Patch, Jr., commander of the 7th Army. Bradley practiced for the Euro pean campaign by commanding the 2nd Army Corp in the battle of North Africa. It was this slow spoken soldier who unleashed the American thunderbolt in Northern France last July which has now ended in the defeat of the Ger mans.
 Patton Became Hero
 Patton, the most colorful person. ality on the Allied staff, has prov en himself time after time 6 genius of armored warfare. His quick drives around the enemy Hanks kept the German armies off bal ance and did much to prevent them from begging down the fighting into 1918 trench warfare. He over came the Sicilian skipping incl dent of 1943 to achieve a place as national hero.
 Although Hodges job was less spectacular than Pattons, many of the lightning advances of the 3rd Army could never have been made unless the 1st Army primarily mo- torized infantry outfit, moved in right behind the armor to hold what had been taken.
 Patch, who entered Eisenhower s theater via the Mediterranean to clean the enemy from Southern France, now has earned double hon. ors for he fought on Guadalcanal as well as against the Germans. Ills 7th Army, grasping the initiative from the first day of it's landing in France, set an all-time record in expanding it's beachhead.
 Outstanding among U. S. airmen who directed the air campaigns which ruined German industry, de- stroyed the WehrmachtS lines Of communications, and knocked the LuftWaffe out of the skies were Ut Gems. Carl Spaatz, 51, commander of the strategic air forces in the European theater and James H.. Doolittle, commander of the 9th air force.
 Teamwork Was Keynote
 These men took up aerial warfare where the enemy left off and de- veloped it to scientific point. However, they always remembered they were part of team and prac- tically every operation they under took was toward the saving of the lives of American infantrymen.
 It. Gen. Lewis H. Brereton, 54, l commander of the Allied airborne army, was still another important part of the team. Many believe that the initial invasion of the Normandy coast would have cost the Allies at least twice as dearly if his troops had not parachuted and landed by glider behind the At lantic Wall to confuse the enemy and attack the strong Qualifications
