Swedish Glider Pilot
Reaches 20,l00 Feet

STOCKHOLM.-W a small
glider of the type "Weihe" a Swe-
dish engineer, Bjorn Anderson,
recently reached height of over
$500 meters (20,1O0 feet, which
is only some 800 feet below the
world record. He started from the
air field of Ska Edeby, near
Stockholm, being lowed by mo-
tor plane to the height of $50
feet. Aided by strong upward
winds on the edge OF a storm
center, he achieved a climbing
speed of SO feet a second. and
shortly he had reached a height
of at least 10000 feet.
The flight then had to be aban-
doned, as the pilot had no oxygen
equipment and ice began to form
on the wings. Within an hour
after the take-off, Mr.. Anderson
safely landed his plane on the
same field from which he had
started. The present world height
record for motorless gliders, 90
SIS feet. was set in 1888 by a
German.

in reply to a question.
He said that the Russian au-
thorities declare they have carried
on and are still conducting the
most energetic inquiries into his
whereabouts in connection with
the Russian entry in Budapest,
where Wallenberg served as Sec
rotary of the Swedish Legation.
So far, these have been without
result. He had no reason to doubt
this statement, Mr.. linden added.
The Foreign Office in Stock
holm has tried to establish con-
tact with certain witnesses, whose
names are known, but has been
unsuccessful in getting any posi-
tive information. Wallenberg, who
saved the lives of thousands of
Jews and Hungarian patriots dur
ing the later stages of the war.

sent the same views as we do,
namely, democratic humanism.
Now, as then, there is a small
minority which harbors other
ideas: The preesnt-day Commun-
lists are just as much tied up to
Russia as the Nazi sympathisers
were to Germany. There is only
this difference; the danger of
war seems somewhat smaller now
than it did then. Without lapsing
into wishful thinking, we can now
go so far as to reckon with a
peaceful course of events for some
years to come.
The dilemma that faces u.s." he
went on, "is hard to acknowledge,
especially officially. There is
talk of Scandinavia being a bridge
between the East and the West,
but we do not have the slightest
chance to play the role of media
tors. We have even less knowl-
edge of Russia in its self-imposed
isolation than either the British
or the Americans, who have their
cooperation with the Russians
during the recent war to fall back
on.
The Scandinavians Dread Being
Forced to Take Part in New War
ut is only natural that we
should dislike the idea of joining
a western bloc of some kind We
fear being forced to take part in
another war which we might be
able to sit out. We are afraid that
such bloc might only serve to
make the clashing interests stand
out all the more sharply and thus
interfere with the main project
which is to secure peace. We
fear a new Munich.
1.-The dilemma cannot be es-
capped by adjusting our policy to
our own ideas and feelings. But
neither can it be cleared the op-
posite way, that is by pretending
that both sides are wrong or both
are right and that we, therefore,
do not care what happens. But
befogging the issue by dwelling on
the faults of the democratic ma
tions, while passing over the Rus
sian acts of terror and aggression
in silence, is the most dangerous
method of all. All true democrats
in Europe know that the United
States is now the only power
which can protect our freedom
and right to self-government.
That is a truism which we must
not obscure by pretending to be
so objective that we speak i'll of
our nearest relatives and friends"

But when the statue arrived in
Reykjavik recently aboard the
Norwegian freighter "Lyra", strik-
ing longshoremen refused to I'M
load the ship. Pleas and negotia-
lions were to no avail, and the
statue returned to Norway.
In the meanwhile, however, the
Reykjavik strike was settled, and
the much-traveled statue was load
ed aboard the Icelandic Govern
ment vessel "Aegir" in Bergen.

Dwarf fruit trees so low that

Protests Against
Russians Trip To
Barred Zone

STOCkHOLM-tB airmail)-
The Swedish Government has COM
planned to Russia against two
members of the Russian Legation
in Stockholm who recently made
a trip to the northern part of the
country and travelled through parts
of the military zone along the
Swedish-Finnish border. On July
20, the Soviet Charge dAffaires
here, Basarov, was summoned to
the Foreign Office. The papers
predict that the Swedish COM
plants will result in the recall OF
the two men, Major Wasilij Kon-
nov and George Michailov.
The Russians covered almost l.
200 miles, according to a report
from the police authorities in
northern Sweden, which was sent
to the Foreign office and formed
the basis for the complaint. On
July II they arrived at Gallivare,
a mining center in Lappland, for a
two-week bicycle and bus trip.
This took them back and forth
through the defense zone, the .ex-
istence of which was announced
officially last fall. Foreigners are
not allowed to visit this zone with
out special permits.
In the city of Haparanda, located
directly opposite the Finnish city
of Tornea, at the northernmost
end of the Gulf of Bothnia, the
Russians are said to have shown
a keen interest in housing, inquir-
ing specifically whether the people
could be quartered in the moving
picture theatre and the mission
house, among the largest struc-
lures in the town. The activities
of the Russians were known early
by the local police, who carefully
traced their movements during the
trips. Because of the Russians
diplomatic immunity, however, the
police did not dare to interfere.
Swedish Paper on Limitations
Of Diplomatic Immunity
1.-The strange institute called
diplomatic immunity" writes the
Stockholm daily Dagens Nyheter,
"presupposes a correct attitude on
the part of the diplomats them
selves. Members of foreign lega-
tons therefore customarily inform
the authorities about trips they
plan to make. If they do not try
to be considerable the diplomatic
immunity becomes an absurdity,
resulting perhaps in passive ac-
ceptance of the most INSCRIPTIONS
actions. The reaction which might
ultimately follow will hardly be of
any real importance. If Major
konnov is now recalled from the
Soviet Legation in Stockholm
thus following a Russian military
diplomat who was involved in es-
pionage last year-such step will
not accomplish much from a prac-
teal viewpoint, for he has already
obtained the information he
wanted, and it will be easy to send
new and just as active man to
replace him. 1t will be necessary
therefore, to enforce such a sys-
tenn that the bar to trips through
militarily important zones becomes
a reality even for Russian diplo-
mats"

Swedish Government
Favors Examination
OF Free Trade

SIOChHOLM, (By WlreleSS)-
In opening the st. Erik Indus
trial Fair in Stockholm on Au-
gust %, Axel Chores, Swedish
Minister of Commerce, said that
the fact that government controls
of imports and exports have been
made more rigorous certainly does
not mean that Sweden wants to
give up its traditional commercial
policy. Actually, one of our most
important goals in the economic
field is to create such conditions
that a return to the old freedom
in our foreign trade will be pos
sible," Mr. Chores added He re-
ferred to previous discussions of
a closer economic cooperation
among the Scandinavian countries,
which, he said, indicated that
much is to be gained by a mutual
free trade, although >the difficult
ties obviously are considerable.
Being an old free-trader my
SELF" he continued, Il should very
much like to help bring about a
systematic and thorough discus
sion of the problems of an in,
creased economic cooperat n
among the Scandinavian countries.
in order to ascertain what can be
achieved in regard to a mutual
free trade" Mr. Chores called at
tention to the example set by Bel
GUM, the Netherlands, and Lux
emburg.
In an interview published in the
Danish daily Politiken, the Swe-
dish Foreign Minister, Osten IN
den, gave his full support to the
opinion expressed by Mr.. Chores.
THE Swedish Government" he
said, will be glad to contribute
their efforts to a thorough exam
ination of the possibilities of clos
err economic cooperation among
the Scandinavian countries"
Economic Diversities the Great
est Obstacles"
While the political conditions
for Scandinavian customs union
are now more favorable than they
were in the 10th century, the &C.
onomic ones are more complicat-
ed. In signed editorial in Sven
ska Dagbladet of Stockholm for
August 81, Professor Arthur
Montgomery of the Stockholm
School of Economics writes that
"a successful monetary policy is
one of the conditions that must
be met, if the plans for a customs
union are to have more than aca-
while the general international
complications have made a Scan
dinavian customs union more diff
ficult to establish, the increased
prosperity of the three countries
has made them more important
for domestic producers as a mar
ket.
1T is the great upheavals in
monetary matters and the inter-
national balances of payment
which constitute the great OBJ
stacle to closer economic coopera-
tion," he writes. Those who work.
for a Scandinavian customs un-
ion must first stabilize the rates
of exchange, making the none
tary values correspond, at least
approximately, to the respective
price levels. In other words, a
certain equality in the foreign
trade competition must be obtain
ed" To adjust the existing econ
omic differences will not be easy.
In both Denmark and Sweden, for
instance, agriculture is relatively
more important than in Norway,
where shipping and the fisheries
predominant. Professor Montgom-
cry therefore asks whether a gen.
eral customs union of Western
Europe would not be more worth

LARGE IMPORTS NECESSARY TO
 FEED GERMANS
Farmers Reluctant 10 Meet Quotas in British and
 American Zones

BERLIN May 7-l9-The United States has shipped 1,85o00o metric tens of food into Germany since victory day to help support Ger man ration scales, the monthly re- port o1 Gen Lucius D Clay said today. The report added that Ger man farmers continued reluctant to meet their food delivery quotas and that continued large imports of food will be necessary.
 Tn February, the last month which the Military Governors re- port covered 270,0Oo tons of food were imported for the British-Am- erican zones at a cost of approxi- mately S33, 1000 0o0o-or roughly one dollar per non-farmer consumer in the combined area.
 Failure to meet delivery quotas continued serious reluctance on the part of farmers to deliver their products through legal chan nels for currency with which they can buy relatively few of the goods needed on farms the report said. Instead. many prefer to sell their produce on the black market or barter it fer goods otherwise unob- tainable.
