Count Bernadotte related how
he got the idea of organizing the
rescue expeditions when, on one of
his visits to Germany on behalf of
the Swedish Red Cross, he saw a
sad procession of Polish women
walking along a country road in
charge of Gestapo guards. Meeting
Himmler shortly afterwards, he

conversations between the Swedish
International Relief Committee
(SIH), UNRRA and the Allied
military authorities, include the
setting up of a large children's
hospital in Warsaw, a children's
home and number of polyclinics
for children.
According to a report just made
by the president of the committee,
Judge Birger Ekeberg, some 80
Swedish doctors and assistants
will be required Further child
care activities will be instituted
by the Swedish Save the Children
organization. In Danzig equipment
for surgical and medical wards for
hospital will be provided, to-
gether with such qualified person
mel that it may also serve as a
university clinic for doctors train
ing. The Poles have particularly
requested that Sweden send medi-
cal men to acquaint their doctors
with the developments of the last
six years. The possibility of print
ing some 60 scientific textbooks
in Sweden for use at Polish uni
versities is also being explored
Shipping dried milk and other
foods for children and sick per-

SWeden's entry into the u. N. o.
will be put before the 1916 Riks-
dag, it was announced.
While willing to join the United
Nations and give up neutrality in
any future conflict to the extent
required by the rules of the organ
ization, the Government spokes-
man declared, it is evident that
Swedens policy would be to avoid
being forced into one of two OPP
posing blocs if, contrary to what
the Swedish Government expects,
the nations split into two camps.
Scandinavian collaboration, how
ever, resting on a natural basis of
personalities and those of history
and language, could in no way be
regarded as part of any possible
grouping of the powers.
Reviewing Swedens trade pol
icy, the. Ministers reported that
preliminary convers t i ons had
taken place with the Soviet Union
with a view to an increased ex-
change of goods. Owing to the
present chaotic state of world
trade, Sweden was forced, they
said, to conclude bilateral treaties,
but would lend wholehearted sup
port to all efforts to restore multi
liberalism in international trading.

More of NObel's Faith
Urged by Sweden's

Ceremony

NEW YORK, Oct. 22-Sweden S
new Minister to the United States,
Herman Ericsson, speaking at the
Nobel b r h d y ceremonies ar
ranged by The American-Scandi-
navian Foundation at the Waldorf
Astoria yesterday. asked: rs it
an exaggeration to say that the
advent of the atomic bomb has
filled mems hearts with almost
paralyzing fear?" He commented:
IF it is not, the very fact is
humiliating testimony of our fail
ure in organizing human rela-
tons"
Urging the necessity today of
"at least some of that optimism
and faith in the ultimate victory
of constructive forces that ami
mated Nobel and his contempt
raries," Mr.. Ericsson emphasized
that the Swedish people, though
few in numbers, were prepared to
do their part in Joining all ma
tons, great and small. that are
now gathering their strength to
build a new world"

A Can Of Sausages

The place was Haugesund, Nor
way. Fritz johnson and his fam
lily were gathered in their kitch-
en- bent eXpectantly over a can
containing a treasure of Is Dan
ish Sausages. Earlier that morn
ing Fritz had been on hand when
villagers gathered to receive feed
from former German army stores.
This can of sausages was some
thing the family had dreamed of
for five meatless years. Although
packed in Denmark, the label was
printed in German and stated that
the can should be immersed in
boiling water for Is minutes be-
fore opening, Fritz and the fam
lily just couldn't wait, however,
and as a corner of the lid was
pried up, expectancy reached a
high pitch.
Suddenly Mrs. johnson screamed
and darted for the door followed
by the children. Fritz's +
turned deathly white as he stared
at the cans contents, hardly be-
lieving what he saw. There, tight
under the lid, was a delicate fuse
topping 3 lbs. of TINT.
Danish saboteurs working in the
packing house where these saul
sages were canned for the Ger
man Army knew full we'll what
would happen once this can was
dropped into boiling water. Fritz
knew too. That is why he and
( the local police lost no time IN
sinking this canned carnage in
the depths of the ford.

ed from Oslo where a local rub

warning to all users of recapped

such a way that any time vlo-
lent blowout may throw the car
from the road.
Norwegian authorities are now
subiecting all former German
goods to careful inspection before
releasing them for civilian con-
sumption.

last meeting with Himmler,
brass plate with the following in
scription: ION April 3, 1915, Helm
rich Himmler came to this place,
where a branch of the Royal
Swedish Legation was established,
to ask me to inform the Supreme
Commander of the Allied Forces
that he was prepared to surrender
with the German armed forces to
British, A m lean or Swedish
troops.
This was the first time during
the several talks 1 had with him
that Himmler admitted that Ger
many was beaten. The Swedish
Government informed the Govern
ments in London and Washington
accordingly. A few days later the
complete and unconditional sur
render of Germany followed.

When Count Bernadotte pointed
out that it would hardly be a
feasible proposition for the West
ern Allies to occupy the rear area
of a German army facing east,
Himmler insisted that he would
make terms with the Western AL
lies only, adding that in any case
he was likely to become the new
Fuehrer in the next few days
Count Bernadotte again pointed
out the absurdity of these terms,
but promised to present them if
Himmler still insisted.
Count Folke Bernadotte's own
account, publ s h e d by Alfred

tiations with Himmler and other
high Nazis for the release of
Scandinavian prisoners from Ger

Swedish Tanker Home
After Five Years of
Wartime Service for
Allies

STOCKHOLM. Oct. 1O-By air.
maiD-An illegal snapshot taken
from the Saint-Gobain, 15,0OO-ton
tanker belonging to Trelleborgs
Angf, Nya A. B., enabled the Brit
ish Navy to identify and put out
of action the German pocket bat
tleship Admiral Scheer The Saint
Gobain, which has just returned
to Malm0, made innumerable war
time voyages in Allied service,
seeing whole conveys decimated
around her. The photograph was
taken when the convoy, guarded
solely by the armed merchantmen
Jervis Bay, was attacked by the
Admiral Scheer in mid-Atlantic in
1910 and half the ships, including
the Jervis Bay, sunk.
The Saint-Gobain was one of
the two vessels which reached a
British port unchanged. The rest
of the convoy was forced to return
to Halifax. Photographic from
vessels in convoy was, of course,
strictly forbidden
The survivors from the Jervis
Bay were picked up by another
Swedish vessel in the convoy, the
Stureholm. Unlike the Saint-Go-
balm, the Stureholm did not sur
vive the long war years, being
later lost with all her crew, while
still in Allied service.
