interest of economic disarmament
It should offer to abolish or at
least lower certain tariffs. At
present Sweden is concluding BIZ
ateral trade treaties, and these
should be looked upon as steps to-
ward multilateral trade.
Professor Myrdal said he hoped
: h a t the great financial settle
-nents now being drafted in Wash
;ngton would help to overcome the
scarcity of foreign currency which
today is the greatest obstacle to
gnultilateral world trade. This, in
turn, might increase international
production and distribution. He
warned, however, against autar-
chic tendencies, stressing the ne
cessity of common international
measures.

THE SCANDINAVIAN AMERICAN
Bergen U-boat Pen
Poses Problems

The city of Bergen, Norway, has
inherited a colossus of steel and
concrete from the German Navy,
one of. the worlds most modern
U-boat bunkers. Here there is
room to hide % subs under CELL
ings 10 feet thick, with three
built-in dry docks, and machine
shops capable of handling almost
any job. The installation is pos
sibly one of the worlds best and
is super-modern in every respect,
but no one seems to know what
to do with it.
Despite its one-time value, the
structure can hardly be regarded
as an aid to peace-time harbor
beautifications. The huge concrete
block 665 feet square and tower
ing 80 feet in the air contains
we'll over 100000 cubic yards of
cement and structural steel and
kept 100 laborers occupied day
and night for many months. Most
Bergensers are awaiting the day
when this unsightly monument to
the Nazi wolf packs will be torn
down, and replaced by structure
better suited to the times The
well-equipped work shops will pos
sibly become the property of the
Norwegian Navy, while the bunk
ers themselves may be removed.

OF FAITH AND FREEDOM

!, complex" Doctors say that ac
 tually there is nothing wrong with
 many individuals who fill our in stitutions for the insane except that they have an overwhelming sense of guilt. They are simply i "sin-conscious." There are oth- CTS who never try to help them selves. Poverty-stricken, slum- dwelling, ignorant, and illiterate they are made to believe that God has willed their condition and so therefore they should suffer. They, too, have been duped by the Prophets of Doom. Today, while some earnestly work for peace there are others who deliberately prepare for World War III in the belief that it must come. . It is in- evitable, they say. Some proph- ct of doom has cunningly and de- liberately found some scripture passage which he purposely mis- interprets to forecast war with Russia. There is simply no time for preachment of such damnable nonsense in an atomic age. Fur thermore, it was certainly never the teaching of Jesus nor of any of the other great teachers of mankind. It was not the message of the Old Testament. It was never a part of the beliefs of the Church's Founding Fathers. If
 one learns anything from the mes- sage of the truly great, from the message of Jesus, he learns the lesson of implicit faith in mans ability to overcome and improve his condition on earth. That was the message of Jesus. He said
 that men were to act and become
 like the "Sons of God," not like shriveling worms. He saw a
 greater man than was present in
 his day and age. "Even greater
 things shall ye do," he said. That
 was message of hope; not dam

nation for man.
 The really glorious fact about the progress of mankind has been that he has stubbornly risen above the discouraging chatterings of the doomists. When they have said "you can't" something within man has said, "I can and I will. :"
 Even we, who are the children of slaves can add a brilliant testi- mony to this. Once we were told that it was Gods will for us to remain slaves; that our dark skins were divine trademarks of back wardness and inferiority. (Oddly enough there are still some ter mites both within and outside of our race who preach this.) We were forcibly and repeatedly told the story that %Ham had sinned and so therefore, we his descend ants must forever remain "hewers Of wood and drawers of water" But we have had to fight those calculating lies with our very souls. Had we stupidly listened we would have thereby damned ourselves. Thus we have discov- cred through lonk and hard-won progress that God was not pun ishing us. He had placed the whole world before us to live in and enjoy in the same manner as do other men. But we found that instead it was the cussedness of some men, their greed, and their conniving and worst of all their hired Prophets of Doom which menaced us. Together with the defenders of freedom everywhere we have fought and defeated those men. We and all peace loving peoples of the earth must defeat them again and thus give the lie to the doomists.

worthwhile community centers. Our ministers might also include in their sermons the value today as never before of specialized knowledge in the industrial field.
 It has been gratifying and not appreciative to realize that our leaders of tomorrow in the profes- sions are being singled out and guided. But what would not fail to benefit the race as a whole would be scholarships to young people of promise in the industri- al arts.

 We sincerely trust that our ca- pablo Public Utilities Commission- CTS will reconsider the application of George Crump and grant a re- hearing. 1t would convince a lot of us that the Commission is not swayed by the high-powered legal array that represents the Yellow Cab Company, whenever person applies for the right to operate a taxi service. Perhaps it is true that the Yellow Cab Company has enough cabs ordered to accommo- date the entire city, but it is equally true that there is a trans portation problem in the North End which any interested observ- CT cannot fail to notice if he were to watch the maneouvers of the Yellow Cab drivers whenever a train pulls in at the station. Better still, whenever the colored have a dance at the YWCA, Foot guard Hall, or are attending an affair at Bushnell Memorial Hall. Many of the couples attired in eV- ening clothes can be seen wend- ing their way home on foot only because the cab drivers consider the North End 'too short a haul"
 It will be interesting to know just what reply, excuse, or call it what you may, the heads of the Yellow Cab Company will offer if they are requested to station sufficient cabs in the North End to render efficient service, and to employ colored drivers. Any company engaged in public serv- ice,w with exclusive rights to the parking facilities in front of the railroad station, should not be so seemingly powerful with a just Governor as we have now, and his appointees. The findings of the Public Utilities Commission ap' . pear to be just, based on wha1 was presented at the hearing, but = your writer knows, as well as = many others that discrimination T does exist among the Yellow Cal = drivers when it comes to picking 7 up passengers at the railroad sta tion. With an able and feir dis patcher stationed at Union Place . the condition could be remedied.

WELL, WHADDYA
 KNOW?
By Armond S. Greene

As you attended the Carpe Diem Dance, you were received by MT. Audrey Lee, the naughty type, which gave you the once over, also turned out to be un- necessary, as not one person was carrying a bottle nor a rod. The big names that stalked in were quite impressive, although yours truly loosened up the dignity a bit by exclaiming "My God, if l had known there were going to be so many important people here, I would have brought my wife" It was a very hot night but the damsels did not mind it, being pretty lightly clad, par ticularly when they turned their backs, but the men sweltered it out. Not being considered good form to take off their coats the men caught the heat in order. Personally, I considered this un- fair, and I wish that I could work up enough nerve to do some thing about such as this. Never theless, one does not get funny that way at the type of affairs that the Carpe Diem gives, lest one expects to get his head dusted off. Among the guests that milled around saying "My how nice the dance was" - and "What a love- ly atmosphere".... was MT. and Mrs. Benjamin Banks, IT,, MT. George Goodman, MT. and Mrs. Alton Smith, Miss B'ettye Linlord and numerous others that I am un- able to recall. Incidentally, there was a lot of whispering about how wonderful the floor show was, and that there's never been any thing to beat it.....Well, Whaddya Know - how about giving more of these type of dances. Yours truly loves to dance. Bye now, un- til next week.

The Prophets of Doom

ne E0PhGA9 OA DSOAA
 Sometimes it is amusing to re. call that always throughout his. tory whenever there has been a great war, or famine, or some ma jor catastrophe men have blamed their misfortune upon God. In every age and worst of all in this enlightened scientific age there are prophets of doom who want to make God the villain for mans shortcomings. They have made God responsible for wars, death, slavery and race-riots. Actually according to these prophets of doom there is nothing which man can do about himself. He is doomed if he does, and he is doomed if he does not. He is to do nothing about strengthening out his difficulties because nothing can be done. He is to wait until Jesus comes. In the final day of reckoning then there will be no longer further need for punish n1ent because all of the wicked will be destroyed in burning he'll fire. Such theological buncombe ir modern age is as out of place as horse and buggy, or kero- sene lamp. It contributes to mans lack of confidence in him. self. It destroys his appreciation of his own God-given ability to better his own condition by try ing. Under such doctrines he feels helpless and impotent. For tunate it is that those who listen are fewer and fewer. It is pre- cisely because of such doctrines that there are those who say that the church is a hindrance to mans progress.
 Because of these feelings of in- competence and failure, some in- dividuals have developed what modern medicine calls the "sin-

 A word of advice to all parents of boys uncertain as to the course to pursue in life, and to girls seeking careers in fields other than that of teaching, nursing and sociology. Specialize in the technical fields. The general idea today with worthwhile organiza- tions such as the Inter-racial Commission opening up new fields of opportunity to us, is to be pre- pared.
 The number of Negroes attend ing the State Trade Schools at present is alarmingly low. Just where to lay the blame for the studied indifference is not knowl by us at present. However, WI think that most of it lies with tn, lparents. We're certain tha George Goodman at the Nortl End Community Center and F1 John Loughlin at St. Benedict are cognizant of the lack of inter est in the industrial field as ev denced by the low attendance i the schools of specialized indus trial training of the state.
