a period of five years. During the

Press Comment on Treaty Divided
.Morgontidningen, leading organ
of the Social-Democratic Labor
Party asks if those who criticize
the Russian treaty regard SWe-
denis limited prewar trade, with
Russia as normal. THE abnormal
thing was this isolation, while the
livelier trade relations which we
now hope to establish must be
considered as natural The Con-
sentative nska Dagbladet
writes, From many points of view
it is gratifying that a trade agree
ment has been concluded with
Soviet Russia" but it regrets that
too little attention has been paid
to Swedish labor resources and
production capacity in the indus
tries most affected as well as to
the repercussions in other fields of
our economic life, such as our eX-
port interests in other directions"
The Liberal Dagens Nyheter,
which remains critical of the
agreement, halls the slow start of
the credit agreement as favorable
from a Swedish point of view.
"SWeden's deliveries on credit will
amount to only a few tens of mil
lion kronor in 1947, and perhaps
no so very much more in 194S. In
other words, during the first years
the agreement for a mutual eX-
change Of goods will be the most
important one, While SWeden's
large shipments of heavy capital
goods will be concentrated at the
end of that period" The weekly
Affarsvarlden Cuisines World'D
admits that the Swedish Russian
trade hitherto has been insignifi-
cant, but points out that Russia's
entire foreign trade has also been
very small. 1T is also true the

The letter. addressed to all Cath
olic bishops, said there are up to
1,000, 900 children who lack the ne
cessities of life and are suffering
from cold, hunger and disease.
"On their behalf we order the
bishops everywhere to appoint COL
lections and in general to exhort
the faithful to come to the aid OF
these poor children"
The Pontif1 said children must be
healthy in order to avoid diseased
and vicious" future generation.
All those living in wealth should
remember that poverty, hunger and
nakedness of children will accuse
them implacably before Divine pity
If their souls should not be moved, -
the holy father said.
He praised the church and other
institutions which rescue children
from the slavery of the devil and
evil" but added that the present
aid being extended is inadequate
in this frightening moment in his

by the thought of immense crowds
