Reds Press Campaign
OF Aiding Germans
AS Elections Near
BY the Assoc;otsd Press

BERLIN, Aug. 29.-As the time
approaches for the first postwar
elections in the Soviet zone of Ger
many, scheduled in September, the
Russians are pressing what some
representatives of the Western
powers here refer to as a "be kind to
the Germans" program.
This has been going on for weeks
in the Soviet zone and in Berlin
The prime purpose has been to
promote the Russian sponsored
Socialist Unity party. fusion OF
Communists and Social Democrats
in Soviet-occupied territory, as the
real friends of the people. The
biggest type and blacklist ink in the
strictly controlled Russian section
of the German press has been
devoted to the drive ito win friends
and influence voters"
Just this week the Russian military
government ordered partial unfreez-
ing OF savings bank accounts in the
Soviet zone to permit war widows
and wives OF prisoners still In deten-
ton to draw up to 800 marks $500
from their husbands accounts. The
Russian licensed Berliner Zeitung
called this another in a series Of
benefits" given by the Soviet adj
ministration, which included raising
food rations for the sick, granting
women equal pay with men and un-
freezing life insurance accounts. The
Socialist Unity party has claimed
credit for most Of these benefits.
The campaign is strongest in the
deepest recess of the Soviet zone,
Dresden, capital Of Lower Saxony,
where, according to reliable German
reports. the Socialist Unity . party
practically runs things and virtually
is the government" How the Ger
mans are reacting there can only be
gagged at a distance because there
Is no free access to the Russian zone.
Here in Berlin, however. there
are frequent expressions of cynicism
from western sources which regard
the well-publicized Russian benevo-
lences as election promises" Any
suggestion in the Berlin papers
licensed by the western powers that
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1946-08-29

casts suspicion on Russian motives
or reports unfavorably of affairs
in the Soviet zone, quickly draws
a TRADE of abuse from the pre-
ponderant section of the Berlin
press that Is Russian controlled.
Most Of the Russians prediction
maneuvers have dealt with food
A few weeks ago leaders of the
Socialist Unity party published an
open letter to Dear Marshal Soko-
lovsky" marshal Vastly D. Soko-
lovsky, the Russian military gov
ernor) requesting an increase in
rations. A few days later the
marshal, in letter to the party
chiefs front-pageo in the Soviet
controlled press, graciously granted
the increase-from food grown in
Germany.
The same tactic was followed In
the matter of getting a promise
of more food for consumptives and
other i'll persons, and in attempt
ing to get building materials for
beat-up Berlin from the Soviet zone.
The Russians also made a publicity
splash about delivering fresh vege-
tables from their zone to Berlin,
although the paper which printed
the stories rarely, If ever, mention
Americas contributions to feeding
Germany and the rest OF the world.
Pay increases have been prom
ised to teachers and there have
been campaigns to grant women
equal opportunity with men, with
equal pay for equal work. :.

The celebrations eliminated in
an impressive commemoration fes-
tivity in the University Chapel in
the presence of, among others, the
Crown Prince and Princess of Swe-
den. At this festivity Anders Os-
terling, one of SWeden's m t
prominent present-day poets, read
an exceedingly beautiful poem es-
pecially written for this occasion,
in which he described Tegner's
life and his struggle at a time
which much resembled our own
deranged postwar world to make
people realize that humanity must
change its course, must keep
peace or succumb. In the evening,
the students paid their mage to
the great writer.
In connection with the cente-
nary, a special exhibition had been
arranged in the University Lii
brary. The manuscripts of most of
Esaias Tegner's works-with his
clear, graceful handwriting-we
here on show, as we'll as an inter-
esting collection of portraits of
the poet. His dwelling, consis t.
ing of two small rooms in a peace
full alley, is now kept as a mu-
scum. On the writing desk in his
study are still his snuff box, his
pen and his writing-case.
Celebrations were also held in
Vajo, where Esaias Tegner was
bishop and where he is buried.
Memorial Stamps
The Swedish General Post Office
concentrated the Tegner cente-
nary by issuing a special set OF
stamps. The denominations of the
stamps are 10 ore violet, and &C

have been designed and engraved
by the Swedish artist Sven Ewert

what action will be taken on the
Spanish question. 1t will be most
important, however, that whatever
resolution is resolved by the As
sembly, must be taken unanimous
ly; a resolution by majority vote
alone would have little positive
effect When it is said that Unit
ed Nations action up to the pres
ent has only strengthened Fran
cos position the only foundation
for such a charge can lie in the
broad area of disagreement as t.
what can and should be done.
Norway's long tradition in in
ternational disarmament efforts
make the atomic question one OF
special interest to Norway. Mr.
Lange regarded disarmament and
the control of atomic energy a pre-
requisite to setting up the interna-
tional police force" which, ac-
cording to the Charter, shall stand
at the disposition of the United
Nations.
The entry of Norway's neighbor-
ing countries, Sweden and Iceland,
into the United Nations was hailed
as a source of new support, es-
pecially to the Social and Eco
nomic Council. The four Scandi-
navian members see eye to eye on
a great number of problems in
this field, and Norway feels that
it is in this organization that the
smaller nations can make real con-
tributions.
Following Forei gn Minister
Langes return to Norway, Nor
wegian Ambassador to the United
States Wilhelm Morgenstierne was
named chairman of the delegation.

OF The Death OF Esaias Teqner

STOCKHOLM. The centenary
of the death of the great Swedish
poet Esaias Tegner was celebrated
on November End in the Univer-
sity town of Lund.
At Lund, Esaias Tegner was a
professor of aesthetics, before he
became Bishop of Vaxjo in 1924.
His most fertile period fell dur
ing the years he spent at Lund-
here he held most of his brilliant
speeches and wrote most of his
poems, among them the famous
"Frithiof's Saga" This work,
which is based on an old North

NEW DIRK, N. I. - Foreign
Minister Harvard M. LANCE, who
has headed the Norwegian dele
cation to the United Nations Cen
eral Assembly, returned to Nor
way by plane on November 10th
following a four-Week stay in the
United States. In the course of
an interview shortly before his
departure, the Foreign Minister
addressed special thanks to the
press the American and Ca
madam Norwegian-language news
papers in particular-for its aid
and support to the Norwegian peo-
pie before and after liberation.
Deep appreciation was also ex-
pressed for the aid of the Red
Cross, the various other relief or
CARNATIONS, and for the coopera
ton and understanding on the
part of various American and Ca
madam governmental organs with
which Norway has dealt during
recent years. In all, a total of
over S3O,OOO,0O0 in gifts of food,
clothing, shoes, etc, has reached
Norway since liberation ex-
preston of good will of inestima-
BILE value to Norways' recovery.
Mr.. LANCE noted, however that
the supply situation has improved
to such an extent that while pri-
vate gifts of food and clothing
especially to friends and relatives
in the Nazi-leveled district of
North Norway-are welcome, Nor
way is rapidly getting back on its
own feet, and there is popular
feeling that such gifts should now
go to the still less fortunate peo-
pie in Europe and Asia. Norway's
thanks, he emphasized, is not only
for the gifts and the money and
effort they represent, but for their
value as an expression of moral
support factor of great value
to Norway during the days of oc-
cupation. The Foreign Minister
had hoped to personally bring his
country's thanks to American and
Canadian well-wishers but the eX-
tension of the Paris Conference
had made it necessary for him to
cut short his stay in the United
Satisfactorily canceling all plans
for travel in this country.
Regarding the work of the As
sembly, Mr.. Lange suggested that
it is still too early to predict I'LL
innate accomplishments of this
session. He did not share the pes
simism of those who decry what
they call the cumbersome tempo
of the siX-months old Assembly.
The League of Nations moved
slowly, and during its formative
period neither the United States
nor the Soviet Union We're mem
bers. Now the broader scope of
ideas and opinions naturally pre-
cludes immediate agreement and
quick decisions He also pointed
out that the United Nations also
includes a number of subsidiary
organizations which Were not
found under the League. These
special organizations. he noted,
have a most important task, but
must be coordinated and rational
lied so as to avoid overlapping
and duplication of effort which
would result in unnecessary eX-
pense and decreased efficiency.
1t is yet too early, observed
Foreign Minister LANCE, to predict

are some of the results of the
first international Cement Con-
gress' after the war, which was
recently concluded in Stockholm
after a week of negotiations. Over
80 delegates from eight countries
participated.
THE most important result of
the conference is that, after seven
years of isolation, we have once
more been able to speak our minds
about cement and to get clear
idea of the present problems of
cement production, said the
chairman of the conference, the
! 72-year-old British industrialist
Sir Malcolm Stewart, in a news
paper interview. I'VE are agreed
that we must increase production
and exports as far as possible.
Sweden and Holland, for instance,
are at present feeling shortage
of cement, while England has a
small surplus, which we would be
prepared to export if we could get
in exchange what we ourselves
need for this export, namely paper
sacks. During the past year we
have exported nearly a million
tons of cement, a small portion of
which has gone to Sweden in ex-
change for paper. Our annual ce-
ment output now amounts to
about million tons, as against
SO million tons before the war"

cludes his interview by saying
that the participators in the con-
gress had been greatly impressed

One of the practical results of
the Cement Congress was the de-
cision to establish an organ of CO.
operation, called The Cement Sta
tistical and Technical Bureau,
which will serve as a clearing CEN
ter for the international exchange
of technical and economic infor-
nation in this field. This bureau
which will have its headquarters
in Norway, will start its activities
in the near future. The costs will
be betrayed by the countries
interested.

budget director to account. Not
having been elected by the peo-
pie, he would not be directly be-
holden to them. So long as he
could keep the favor of SO mem
bers of the legislature, the budget
director could do about as he
pleased.
There is already far too much
buck passing among politicians.
Why increase it by voting for this
amendment?
Lord Acton is supposed to have
said, "All power has a tendency
to corrupt; absolute power COR
rupts absolutely" These words
could we'll be pondered by every
Florida citizen who votes on the
amendment creating the office of
budget director.
The watchword of the Battle Of
the Marine, They Shall Not Pass, y
should be invoked against the
adoption of this wacky amend
ment.
The amendment abolishing con-
tinuing appropriations is sound
and sensible and should be adopt
ed. 1t is hard to believe that both
these amendments were spawned
in the same legislative ovum.

States. Therefore, communist
could be brought over from Rus
STA and installed as overload OF
the states millions.
Section 8, Article w of the
+ Florida Constitution provides that
the governor, who now exercises
the powers proposed by this
amendment to be given to an
anomalous budget director, must
be a qualified voter, ten years a
citizen of the United States, five
years a citizen and resident OF
Florida. .
This peculiar proposed amend
ment contains no such require
ment for a budget director, who
would take over one of the most
vital functions now exercised by
the governor. For aught that ap-
pears in that amendment, the
budget director could be a recent
~ arrived alien. / don't believe
the people of Florida are willing
to take such a long chance.
Being appointed by the legisla-
ture and subject to discharge
whenever SO members thereof de-
cided he was no longer wanted,
a budget director quite. naturally
would do the legislatures bidding
without question. This would
add up to abject subservience of
the executive branch to the leg
islative branch of government,
thereby seriously weakening the
form and structure under which
our state government has operat-
ed for l0l years, and under which
our federal government has grown
great for l59 years.
The tried and tested system,
whereby each of the coordinate
branches of government-legisla-
tive, executive and judicial-is in
dependent, should not be thrown
overheard by adoption of this
hermaphroditic amendment.
The legislature does a good Job
in the legislative field, but it is
neither designed nor equipped to
run the executive branch of gov
eminent. 1t is in session only 2
months of every 2 years. 1t is
powerless to act when not in ses-
sion. For % months of every 2
years it would have no control
over the budget director. During
