Investigation By
 Government Seen

CHICAGO (FP) - The federal government is prob ing native fascist attempts to organize veterans of the pres ent world war.
 Its interest was aroused when Carl H. Mote, isolationist Indi- ana industrialist, testified at Sen ate committee hearings on the United Nations charter that he spoke for five million American citizens, including members of the Committee of Veterans World War II, Heading this group is Frederick Mister, asso- ciate of such native fascists as the Rev. Gerald l.. K. Smith and Joe McWilliams.
 SUSPICIOUS EYE
 The Justice Department cast a suspicious eye at Mister during g l942 investigation of alleged sedi- tious activities here, but was un- aware of his latest venture until it heard Mote's testimony. Dr. Harold W. Ruopp, head of the Church Federation of Greater Chicago, re- gently described the committee as ''anti-Semitic and anti-Ally in char acter." Its object, he said, is to 'senlist returning servicemen in its program of hate"
 Smith and Mote, who edits a fascist hate sheet in Indianapolis in addition to his activities as head of a utilities company, addressed the first meeting of the Committee of Veterans, which was held April g.
 Kister is about 90 years old and was formerly employed in the editorial department of the P. X s. Publishing Co, publishers of the Herald and Scribner's Commentator, which re- ceived Japanese money. George s. Eggleston, Commentator editor, was found guilty of failure to register as a foreign government agent. Kister wrote column for the Commentator called, My Day-Joseph Stalin. It was his job also to comb the Con- gressional Record for isolationist re- marks.
 Kister was identified with the America First Committee prior to this country's entrance into the war and with the Keep-America- Out- of Foreign Wars Committee Chow known as the Citizens USA Committec), We, the Mothers Mo- bilize for America, Inc, and the Patrick Henry Forum, native fascist group here. He appeared before the federal grand jury which re- turned the indictments preceding the mass sedition trial. The FBI reportedly would now like to know how he makes his living.

Depression Can Be Avoided Feinmark

the bill passed, it will be passed. I know tha. it's not as simple as that, but that's what it bOils down to. But there's one thing I'm willing to be prophet about. If the re- actionary groups in this country Op- pose this bill, we will challenge them to present their own program for full employment. Organized labor and its friends insist that a plan for full employment must be drafted now. Those who oppose the Murray Full Employment Bill, but have no constructive program to offer, will have to answer for the misery and suffering which are sure to follow if we do not have con- crete plans to avoid unemployment.
 MRS. DEMBO: Won't there be some people who will say that this Bill will lead to boon-doggling?
 FEINMARK: Of course that ar- gument will be used, and worse arguments will be used. The fact is that any government spending that may develop under the Full Employment Bill must, and \ quote from the bill itself, contribute to the national wealth or well-being." In other words, any government spending would be for the purpose of clearing slums, or building air ports and roads, or developing our cOuntry's river basins, more TWAS, or for similar useful pur- poses, all of which gives business to private enterprise. Moreover, any public construction would be per- formed under contracts by private concerns rather than through an- other WPA. This is specifically provided for in the bill.
 BUSINESS HAS ITS CHANGE
 However, I don't want anyone to think the Full Employment Bill is public works bill. Its primary purpose is to bring to the fore programs which will encourage the creation of the greatest possible number of jobs by private enter- prise without Government spend- ing. Public works and other forms of Federal activity are only to be a last resOrt-aO be used only if it is evident that unemployment would otherwise result. In the past, some have claimed that government spending has endangered private enterprise. Business and industry now will have to decide to make full employment possible, or have the government step in to take uD the slack.
 MRS. DEMBO: l gather from what you say, that full employment will benefit everybody-not labor alone.
 FEINMARK: Exactly, Mrs. Dem- bO. First of all, the farmers will benefit, because farmers can't sell their produce if there is mass un- employment, or if wages are low. Industry bnefits because we must have consumer purchasing power to bay what is manufactured. De- partment stores, dentists, the cor ner grocery store, all benefit, be- cause they depend upon adequate purchasing power.
 Most important of all, however, is the fact that we have come to recognize that we have an obIiga- ton to provide work at decent wages to all who want iO work. That is the true American way, and the Connecticut Federation of Labor will do its utmost, together with other branches of the American Federation of Labor everywhere, to build stronger, a more democra- tic United States after we have de- feated our enemies.

give for this work to either take
the yarn to her or phone her and
the yarn will be called for. These
robes are very much needed.

Good

Good dishwashing calls for hot wa
ter. If it doesn't flow from the tap,
it can be heated on the stove. The
wash water should be as hot as
the hands can stand comfortably,
and the rinse water should be as
as hot as possible. If water has
to be heated, the orderly dishwash-
er sees to it that the kettles are put
on the stove or the water heater is
turned on when the meal is started.
Then there will be no delay later,
waiting for hot water.

THE SCANDINAVIAN AMERICAN
An American Looks At Sweden

Frederic Prokosch, who for the
past year and a half has been
press attache at the U. S. Lega-
ton in Stockholm, has written an
interesting article, What About
the Swedish ?", in a recent issue
of Vogue"
He begins the article with a
description of the feeling of relief
at arriving in Sweden via airplane
from other parts of Europe. On
his first Sunday, he takes a walk
in the Swedish capital, and is
impressed by the healthy appear
ances of Swedish youth. He
writes:
"Sunburned girls just back from
skiing holiday, dressed in smart
tailored suits, with faces far
darker than their golden hair.
The first thing that strikes one in
this city-and it struck me every
day, week after week and month
after month is he extreme
beauty of these people. There are
none in Europe-or America-to
match them; not the Norwegians,
not the AuStrianS, not even the
Ruthenians or the Tuscans. 1t is
the average which is so astonish-
ingly high. One can walk down
Birger-Jarlsgatan and every sec
ond face will be fresh, beautifully
coloured, gentle of eye, and sweet
of skin. The Swedes look curiously
innocent: untouched and pale and
hard like statues. It is mislead-
ing, however"
The author says about Sweden
as a democracy:
Sweden is perhaps the most
democratic country l know. And
it reveals, with notorious clarity,
both the faults and virtues of a
democracy: the breeziness and
cleanliness, the sense of liberation
the social energy, the vague envy
and discomfort, the materialism
the common sense, the gradual
bending of cultural standards, the
lack of reverence, the ubiquitous
competitive spirit. Everyone is
healthy, literate, well-mannered
neatly dressed"
What the SWedes think of the
war, the author sums up in the
following paragraph:

American Relief
For Norway Sends
Shipments Abroad

The immediate need for shoes
and clothing in Norway is being
lesSened through the efforts of
American Relief for Norway" an
organization which has done an
exceptional job since Norway was
invaded in 1910. Professor Oysten
Ore of Yale University is visiting
Norway at the present time as a
representative of that group, and
reports that the collection of funds
and supplies in the United States
is continuing. One of the most
recent projects, reports Professor
Ore, involves the purchase of
100000 pairs of work shoes for
Norwegian workers at a cost of
over S200,000 Large quantities of
clothing, collected by this organi-
cation during the past five years,
have already been sent to Norway.
The JOY with which footwear is
received is indicated by recent re-
ports describing the distribution
of boots and shoes by the Allied
Civil Affairs Commission. Most
NorWegians have not seen leather
for many years, wartime shoes be-
ing made with fish skin uppers
and wooden soles. The Civil At
fairs Commissions supply of shoes
is being distributed through al
ready established firms, at low
prices and under strict rationing.
1t now appears that the urgent
need for coal in Norway may soon
be relieved. Negotiations between
the Norwegian Embassy in Mos
cow and Polish authorities there,
regarding the exchange of Nor
Wegian fish products for Polish
coal, have proceeded very salts
factorily. Norways Ambassador to
Moscow Rolf Andvord has already
been instructed to proceed to War
saw to sign the agreement. This
exchange is expected TO involve
over 100000 tons of coal and con-
siderable quantities of coke

Little Johnny and
His PlaymateS
Translation of article in Svenska Amerikanska POsen
December II, 1S94.)

denly stuck her nose up in the air,
gave a queer sort of grunt and
both the big and the little sheep
jumped up and ran toward the
thickest woods, where they disap-
peared
When the children returned to
the sater, the elder sister told all
about the queer sheep they had
seen and how Johnny had dis
obeyed her and played with the
little black lamb. Some men folks
who had just arrived went imme-
diately to the place, where they
found tracks of one very large and
one very small-BEAR.
It now became clear that the
bears did not fear the children nor
wished them any harm, but that
as soon as the scent of full-grown
men came on the wind, there was
always the danger of gunpowder
near by and hence the hurry to
get into the thick brush and
safety.
This big bear was undoubtedly
the same one that from time to
time had knocked down and car
ried away a sheep, a goat, or even
a heifer on which to feast when
the usual diet of berries, ants,
mice, etc, became scant or monot-
onous.
Martha was a very devout moth
er and spent the rest of that day
giving thanks to Providence who
had saved her little Johnny from
being torn to pieces by the wild
beasts. 1t became her most men,

Mr.. ProkoSch continues:
Everything IS tidy, sedate.
Even espionage is carried on, not
with the colorful and erotic ap-
purtenances which prevail in Lis
bon, but with an air of business
like propriety and punctilio. 1t is
a country full of tidy, lovely
lakes, lovely islands, lovely furni-
ture, lovely plumbing, lovely faces

Swedes themselves are the first to
admit that something is lacking.
We are cold, you know they
insist. Formal. Conventional, we
need two or three glasses of
schnaps to loose us up, to melt
down our shyness. It's the eli
mate; so cold, so wintry.'
What is lacking is, in a word,
intensity; or call it aspiration, call
it imagination. The SWedes can
feel deeply, they are capable of
suffering more than we are, per-
haps; and they feel love more
deeply But they are inept in the
subtleties of human relationship.
The Swedes blame it on the eli
mate 1t is more than the climate.

psyche, the emptiness of the land
