end of April, 1947, will thus COM
prise traditional staple products
such as timber products, pulp, pa

wishes to buy Swedish iron and
steel products, machinery, chem
icals, glassware, granite, etc. Aus
tralian exports to Sweden will
largely consist of wool, apples,
pears, lead, and zinc. In addition
to these products, Sweden wi /
have the possibility of buying from
Australia is tallow, canned fruits,
such as peaches, apples, pears and
apricots, vacuum-dried vegetables,
honey, jam, pickles, etc.
Last season a substantial part
of Australias apple crop was
wasted owing to shortage of ton
mage with cold storage facilities.
The possibilities of Sweden's plac-
ing a larger volume of tonnage of
this kind at Australia's disposal
were also discussed during the re-
cent negotiations.
Following negotiations in Lon
don a supplementary agreement
has been made concerning imports
to Britain of certain classes of
goods which were regular part of
British imports before the war but
have so far been subjected to
strict import regulation as being
now essential products. Under this
program (the Token port S
Scheme) Sweden will now have the
possibility of resuming her eX-

Trade With Germany To Be Re-
Sumed
AS a result of discussions car
ried on in Berlin at the beginning
of November between an official
Swedish delegation and the Brit
ish and American occupation au-
Sweden is allowed to re-
sumo trade with Germany. For
the present, business negotiations
must take place through the Occu-
plying Powers, but it is hoped that
direct contacts between Swedish
and German enterprises will be
possible in a not too distant fu-
ture. Probably, the volume of
trade will be rather small to be-
gin with, owing to the many prac-
teal difficulties of various kinds
which will be encountered.
The payment difficulties in the
trade between Sweden and Swift
zerland. caused by the revalua-
ton of the Swedish Krona have
now been settled after discussions
in Bern and Stockholm. 1t is ex
pected that the trade between the
two countries will now rapidly re-
gain its previous large volume.
Many New Trade Treaties Being
Negotiated
Although being a keen advo-
cate of a multilateral world trade,
Sweden expects that during 1947
also her foreign trade with most
countries will to a large extent
have to be regulated by bilateral
trade agreements. Thus, negotia-
tions have already been taken up
with Poland, Norway and Hol-
land, and at a later date discus
sions will be started with Den

On The Wings Words AndMe|ody

their work, and tread dance =.
A time came when the ballad
ceased to accompany the dance,
and this was due chiefly to the
changes which came over the
dance itself. The fifteenth century
saw the building of many splendid
country-houses, and the coming in
of the Polish dance (polka), ac-
companied by viol and flute which
made singing an impossibility.
The ballad withdrew from the din
and lived On in retirement among
the everyday doings of the people.
At this period, however, about
1850, the fashion came in of COM
hitting the ballads to writing.
The gentry of the period, especial
ly the ladies, possessed poetry
books" or albums, in which their
friends and acquaintance wrote
verses. and signed their names by
way of friendly remembrance
The first collection of ballads,
properly so-called was compiled in
process of time from the varied
contents of these poetry albums.

Swedish Trade With Australia
And The British Dominions

STOCKHOLM.-As a result of
discussions carried on earlier this
year between the Swedish and the
British authorities, Sweden has
been able to take up direct trade
negotiations with the countries
within the sterling area, includ-
the Dominions. Agreements have
so far been concluded with Fire,
the Union of South Africa, Egypt
and Palestine. The largest agree
ment was signed with Australia.
According to reports recently pub
llshed in Stockholm it envisages
in principle trade along the same
lines as before the war. Swedens

Of the Danish Ballads as we
have them today, some were writ
ten down by the ladies of quality
during the sixteenth and seven
teenth centuries; some, even till
modern times, were still sung by
the peasantry, in the communal
WorkroomS, or on festive oeca-
sions, or at home by mother to
child. Long before they were put
on paper, however, there was a
period, that of their existence dur
ing the Middle Ages, when they
were learnt solely by means. of
song, in totally different circum-
stances. They had not, in those
days, any special association
either with festivity or with han
dicraft, but were sung during the
dance-a fact which requires more
minute explanation.
The dance sprang up during the
Age of Chivalry, and became a.
fevorite accomplishment in every
European nation. Men and women
together formed circle and
danced the round. The music was
supplied either by some instru-
ment, or by one of the circle who
sang a melody, improvising such
words as occurred to him at the
moment, an invitation to the
dance, an outburst of joy, of long
ing, or of merriment. The Trou-
badors of Southern France and the
later Minnesingers of Germany
composed many of their minor
poems as dance songs, and the
dance found its way to every re-
gion on the wings of words and
melody. 1t took the whole North
by storm, from the Danish Court
to the Icelandic farmstead
The dance is pictured in the bal
lads again and again. A mixed
flock of men and women would
take one another's hands, and
dance in a chain or circle, on the
floor of the hall, or preferably
out-of-doors, in castle garth or
meadow, or down by the water
side. Time and rhythm were regu-
lated by a leader who either sang
himself, or else (Which was a
more popular practice) had a
woman dancing beside him to sing
the ballad. The circle could be
broken" at any moment, when
the dancers stretched forth their
hands to bring in fresh part
ners. Dancing took place on any
and every occasion; the Kings
men would dance together before
the castle gate, the noble lady and
her serving-maids would put down

today to put its own welfare first
and break with traditional sup
port of the Democratic Party If
lit continues association with the
CIO Political Action Committee.
In q bitter keynote speech be-
fore the Georgia State Demo-
cratic Convention, summoned to
ratify nomination Of Eugene Tai
madge as next Governor Of Georgia,
Mr.. Cox castigated the outgoing
executive, Gov. Ellis Arnall, as q
tool of those who would end white
supremacy In the South, and de-
scribed the PAC as "Stalin's hand" "
"The marriage between govern
ment and the Political Action Com
mittee must be dissolved. or else the
country is doomed" Mr.. Cox de-
clared.
Hold Power to Save Nation.
The South, he said, still is the in
fluence which keeps Democracy alive
in America, adding: Without It's
constant support. the party now in
power would have perished long
ago."
"The South" he continued, still
welded to the Democracy of JET
ferson and Jackson, holds within its
own hands the, power to save itself
and. in savin. itself, to save the
Nation.
1T must no longer submit to the
suppliant role OF poor relative: to

before it will submit to giving up its
civilization under Federal COM
pulsion, it will and, it should ex-
ercise that power, which Is political
in character, by breaking with ira
dition, and make its own welfare
its first concern
Mr.. Cot denounced Gov. Arnall
as an advocate of "so-called good
government which would be good
only in the sense that 1t would
serve the ends of interlopers seek
ing to take control, and accused
him of having common cause with
the harlequins of Harlem and the
communistic carpetbaggers Of Mos
cow" He continued:

uphold the dignity, the integrity
and the sovereignty of the State, and
he will repel to the full extent Of
his ability every encrsachment

tempt to invade the State and break

change his life sentence to death

to grant, because the Council may
not increase sentences imposed by
the international Military Tribunal.
Six other Germans received prison
terms. A dozen were sentenced to
the gallows, one. Martin Borrnann,
