Unification Of the armed forces

are essential If we are to maintain
our leadership on the road to peace

For the desire for peace and
freedom is the very root of our
foreign policy. I stated the funda-
mental foreign policy of the United
States in New York City on NAVY
Day last october and in my message
to the Congress January 81, 1916
That policy remains the same today
It is based squarely upon the pursuit
OF peace and justice: and it def
nitely rejects any selfish advan-
tage for ourselves.
The immediate objective of oul
foreign policy is to support the
United Nations to the utmost.

1t is my conviction that the Sc
curity Council of the United Ma
tons. now meeting in New York
City, is fully capable of reaching
agreements between the peoples of
the world-however different their
traditions and PHILOSOPHERS, and
however divergent their interests
The essential requirements to that
end are that its member nations
follow the dictates of justice, that
they consider and respect the legiti-
mate aspirations and needs of their
fellow members.

Is Sent 10 Truman

| Establishment of a national air
museum under the Smithsonian In
stitution, to collect, preserve and
display aeronautical equipment of
historic interest. is provided under
a bill sent to the White House yes
terday by the Senate
The legislation was introduced by
Representative Randolph, Demo-
crat, of West Virginia. who has sug-
gested the museum be located here,
although the measure would leave
the selection of the site to the sec
retary of the institution and an ad-
visory board which would be Gre

survey suitable lands and buildings
for selection as site and submit
recommendations to Congress for

The measure also authorizes the
acceptance as a gift to the Smith
sonian of a statue of the late Brig,
Gen William L. Billy Mitchell,
World War hero. who was con-
demned during the 1920s and later
widely acclaimed for his postwar
fight for aviation development. The
statue would come as a gift from
George H. Stevenson of Phfla-
delphia.
The Randolph measure would au-
thorize an appropriation of $4,000
for the purposes of the enabling act
as well as annual funds later needed
for maintaining the museum
The Senate also passed and sent
to the White House the bill of
Chairman O'Toole of the House Lii
brary Committee authorizing annual
appropriations of SLIPS 900 to the

producers for the recordings.
The new equipment would be
loaned to blind readers under regu-
lations prescribed by the librarian.
At the request of Mr'O'Toole, the
House yesterday sent to the White

the financial position of the Swe-

economic life must be considered
to be well consolidated, although
here as in most other countries
the war years have involved heavy
strains. The booklet, which is nice

drawings, supplies information
about Swedish shipping and air
lines. banks, etc. It also empha-
sizes that Sweden is a keen ad-
vocate of world trade on liberal
lines.
Finally, the booklet. which will
shortly be published also in French

nation about the Federation of

A pamphlet, which in popular
form gives some main facts about
Sweden as an import country, has
recently been published by the
Federation of Swedish Wholesale
Merchants and Importers.
In this booklet, Sweden AS An
Importers Market" it is empha-
sized that, while Sweden is rela-
lively well-known as an exporting
country. her standing as an i'm
porter is not familiar to the same
extent, although she ranks among
the worlds leading import coun-
tries calculated per capita
In 1888 Sweden's lmpor s
amounted to 1873 Scandinavian gold
kronor per inhabitant, as COM
pared with 1875 gold kronor for
Great Britain and 33 for the United
States. 1t is also pointed out that
normally Sweden has a consider
able surplus of imports-in 1888
and 1889 amounting to 239 and $40
million kronor (S152, 100000 re-
spectively. Apart from her present
extraordinary needs for goods,
Sweden is a big importer even in
normal times Owing to her varied
and well-developed industry and
the good average purchasing power
of the people. the country offers
a large market for both raw ma
terials and highly processed prod
ucts. The volume and distribution
of the country's imports are

P.O. BERSELL
our eleven-day visit. I agree that
the description is correct. 1t is a
fitting compliment to a wonderful
country.
We had come from dismal Lon
don, where life was grim indeed,
with the nerve-wracking accom-
paniment of the explosions of W.
bombs We had flown over Nazi-
occupied Norway in a blackout
flight in a converted Flying Fort
ress. No wonder that peaceful,
brilliant Sweden looked good to us.
Two of our three American COM
missioners, DR.. Lorenz B. Meyer
of st. Louis and I, saw it for the
first time. Naturally 1 was the
most interested of the three, for
Sweden is the land of my fore
fathers.
The stress of the business that
brought us to Sweden gave me
very little opportunity for sight
seeing or visiting with relatives or
doing things of purely'personal in
terest. That will have to wait until
a more opportune time.
We had come TO Europe as the
representative of the five million
Lutherans in the United States to
study the problem of the postwar
Church relief and rehabilitation.
AS Lutherans we have major in
terest in this problem, for eighty
five per cent of all Protestant
Christians on the continent of Eu-
rope are Lutherans, and no other
Church has suffered so much from
the ravages of war.
On such an errand of mercy il
was but natural that Sweden be-
came one of the focal points of
our journey. For in Sweden the
Lutheran Church is the established
Church, with membership of over
six million, and at the time of our
visit it was the only country in
Europe where the Lutheran Church
had freedom of action and was in
a position to give a helping hand
to distressed brethren in the faith
in other countries. Therefore, il
was obvious that the Lutherans in
the United States and in Sweden
would have to take the initiative
in planning and inaugurating the
postwar program of Church relief

PAAVO THE YEOMAN
BY j. L. Runeberg

ny q. II. hsuhSOSAS
High amid the heaths of Saarijarvi
Lay the farmer Paavo's frost-bleak homestead.
Though with tireess its soil he tended,
In the Lord ne put his hope of harvest
There it was he dwelt with wife and children,
And with these he shared his meager rye-loaf,
Dug the bitches, furrow plowed and seeded.
Then came Spring and drift from field was melted,
With it floated half the sprouting rye-crop;
Summer came and brought the driving hailstorm
And half the rp'nng stalks lay bent and broken;
Autumn came, and frost took all remaining.
Paavo's wife then tore her hair, lamenting:
"Paavo, Paavo, born luckless yeoman.
Take the staff, for has God forsaken.
Hard it is to beg-but worse to hunger"
Paavo took her hand and spoke, assuring
God but tries U.S. He does not forsake us.
Mix thou half-part bark in with thy flour;
I shall dig out twice many bitches;
Yet in the Lord I'll put my hope of harvest.
While she mixed half bark in with her flour,
Twice as many bitches dug the yeonan.
Then he sold his sheep, bought rye and sowed it.
So came Spring and drift from field was melted,
But no sprouting crop went floating with it.
Yet when Summer brought the driving hastorm
Half the stocks again bent and broken.
And Falls frost took all remaining.
Paavo's wife then beat her breast bewailing
"Paavo Paavo, born a luckless yeoman,
Let die for us has God forsaken.
Hard is death, but life is harder.
Paavo took her hand and spoke, assuring:
God but tries US He does not forsake
Mix thou bark in two-fold with thy flour:
Two-fold larger shall dig the bitches;
Yet in the Lord I'll put my hope of harvest
Of two parts bark the housewife mixed her flour;
Two-fold larger bitches dug the yeoman;
Then he sold his cows, bought rye and sowed it.
So came Spring and drift from field was melted,
Still sproutng crop went floating with it.
And when Summer brought the driving hailstorm,
Not by it were stalks bent low and broken
Autumn came and frost far from the rye field
Let the crop stand golden for the reaper.
Then fell Paavo to his knees. thanksgiving:
God but tries us, He does not forsake us
And his wife upon her knees repeated
God but tries U.S. He does not forsake us
But with gladness cried she to her husband
"Paavo, Paavo, swing with joy thy sickle
Now has the time for happy living;
Now the time to away the birch bark;
Now to bake bread of rye unbended'
Paavo took her hand and spoke, reprovng:
Woman woman, he stands we'll the trial
Who forsakes not then his need-pressed brother.
Mix thou haf-part bark in with thy flour
For in the field neighbours crop stands frozen.

In 1929, he was signed up by Don
