Since no two people think ex-
actly alike on all things, conversa-
ton is stimulating much as strong
drink is stimulating. Often people
unknowingly "let themselves go"
after prolonged indulgence in either
of these stimulants and you begin
to get a glimpse Of what they are
really like.
Perhaps you have said to your
self after an evenings discussion
with a group Of people, why, |
would never have thought that Ann
was so petty and narrow minded"
or, Geneva certainly made it clear
tonight that she can't think for
herself"
1t would seem that there are
three major types of thinkers"
First, there are those who always
appear to think the very worst
possible about any subject. Their
thoughts seem to be wound up in
a tight, stiff, hateful little ball.
Quite often she believes that bit
ing statements made as a result
Of these thoughts are smart. She
is usually a very poor loser and
many times an even poorer winner,
Then there Is the wishy -washy
namby-pRmby, 81 can't make up
my mind" type who can't or won't
think for herself. She depends on
the ideas Of others and goes along
with whichever side seems to be
winning or with those whose favor
she would court. She Is amusing to
watch when the battle suddenly
swings to the other side.
And there are those who make
an honest effort to ferret out and
parade the true facts. These few,
and few there are, bear the brunt
and scars Of many a battle because
Of their straight-thinking and lib
eralism. Their victories are few
and far between but even in the
face Of many defeats they are not
willing to give up facing squarely
the true facts Of situation and
are as gracious when winning as
when defeated.
II you would be fair in your
thinking there are a few other
things that must be kept in mind
Learn not to be embarrassed over a
mistake or a faux pas you may
make. Remember that all human
beings make mistakes and you
have just as much right to make
yours as the next person. Make
allowances for human lapses and
permit people to climb back on
their dignity.
Be true to yourself and do not
lower your standard Of talk to fit
others. Do not pretend to be
something you are not or to know
something you do not know.
To challenge an idea in some
ones remarks is not necessarily
to disagree with him, but may mean
also that you wish him to clarity
a point or to cite his authority,
II one just agrees all the time
there remains nothing to discuss
and the talk comes to a swedish
stop. However, do not argue just
for the sake Of argument unless,
Of course, this has been agreed
upon.

First Norway Bonk To
TOP Billion Mark

OSLO.-Ina yearly statement is

Christiania Bank og kreditkasse
on February 9Th, total capital was
listed at 1,1O3, 10000 kr.. the first

ure of 33O,OO0,OOO Kr. in 1889, the

fold during period of eight
years, making it Norway's largest

creased by 218 million kronor
$3.50, 560,000O. From July to the
middle of December the decrease
amounted to 719 million kronor
$3.50, 720,000), more than 140
million kronor a month. Holdings
of gold and foreign currency, one
week before Christmas shrunk to
2,036 million kronor ($565, $780,
OOO).
Existing government controls,
such as those on foreign exchange
and prices, have simultaneously
acquired new significance. The
foreign exchange control is now
the real basis for the governments
monopoly position in granting
foreign credits, and price control
is the only remaining obstacle to
an inflationary increase of prices.
LabOur Shortage Estimated
At $4,000 Persons
1t is estimated that manufac-
turing industry and other city oc-
equations have received additions
to their labor force of 25O,0OO
persons between 1910 1916, some
$4,000 of these finding work in
manufacturing industry proper.
Included in these are about $4,000
persons from each Of the follow
ing groups: foreigners, young
workers and those previously I'M
employed. The remaining 100000
persons have moved from agri-
culture and domestic work. Be
cause of the general industrial
expansion, these labor additions
are, however, insufficient.
Firms which are members of
the Swedish Employers Fedora
ton, employing about 100000
persons, compute their labor
shortage at about $4,000 persons.
The index for industrial produc-
ton, published by Federation of
Swedish Industries, reached anoth-
er record high last fall, exceeding
somewhat the 1889 increase in lev
ell. In reality the increase in pro-
duction over pre-war must be
about 1920 per cent.
The greatest increase is in the
machine, iron and steel industries.
In spite of raw material scarcity
and need of increasing the
labor force by 1000 or 5000
persons over the present number
of $4,000, the iron and steel in
dustry has succeeded to a con-
siderable extent in filling the gap
caused by the cessation of i'm
ports from Germany.

English Replaces
German In NORWAY

OSLO.-During the German oc-
cupation of Norway, Nazi school
authorities reduced English Ian
guage instruction to a bare min
imum and instituted a broad eX-
pansion of German language and
culture" studies. Shortly after
liberation the pre-war curriculum
was restored-to the disadvantage,
however, of these students whose
shortage of English instruction
during the war now made it diff
cult for them to pass examina-
lions based on the pre-war study
plan.
The Norwegian Education Coun-
Gil has now announced that a new
proposal has been forwarded to
the Ministry Of Church Education,
recommending decided reduc-
ton in German studies in the Sec
ondary schools with a correspond
ing increase in English instruc-
ton. The new plan will include
revisions to aid students now short
on English credits and will intro
duce a general expansion of Eng
lish language and cultural instruc-
ton in Norwegian secondary
schools.

THE SCANDINAVIAN AMERICAN
Pronounced Boom In Sweden

STOCKHOLM - No immediate
relaxation of the strain on SWed-
ems economy can be expected in
the coming year. According TO a
writer in Skandinaviska Bankers
quarterly survey of the economic
situation, rationing of the princi-
pal food-stuffs is expected to last
until the autumn, fuel difficult
les seem likely to be protracted,
even if they become less acut,
and the supply of labor and GER
tain manufactured goods is insult
ficient to meet current needs.
Uncertainty with regard to none
tary developments has resulted
in buyers competing to place or
ders. Investments in buildings and
machinery are being made not
only by industrial firms, farm
ers and property-owners, but also
by state and municipal authorities
and institutions, and in such nat
ional capital equipment as har-
bors and power-plants. This de-
velopment is not only caused by
the fact that normal requirements
were neglected during the war,
but also by the fear of initiation.
Taxation, and the necessity for
preparation to meet the demands
arising from Sweden's trade
agreements with other countries
must also be considered as con-
tributory to the general trend.
Foreign trade, this writer points
cut, is characterized by an i'm
port surplus, which is making
heavy inroads on the supply OF
foreign exchange without suffic-
lent emphasis on imports of coal
and iron. During the first half of
July 1916, when the appreciation
of the krona took place, the value

Norway Approves
Traitor Report

OSLO. - On Thursday, Febru-
airy 9th, the Norwegian Odelsting
1arger of the two houses of Par
liament) approved a detailed COM
mittee report on progress of the
treason trials to date and voted to
replace the present provisional de-
cree by a new treason law as of
March Is, 1947.
In the course of the debate, Nor
wegian Minister of Justice Olav
Gundersen revealed that of the
$4,000 cases up for investigation,
81 900 have now been decided by
trial or decree or have been drop
ped entirely. In other words, the
post-liberation legal settlement is
three quarters completed. OF the
1000 cases slated for trial by
jury or before a magistrate $1,000
or 500 have been settled. Prog
ress in cases dealing with econom-
ic collaboration has been some
what slower due to the lengthy in
vestigation necessary. OF the g.
900 cases in this category approx
imately 209o have been settled. It
is estimated that sentences total
ling $4,000 years imprisonment
will be passed before the overall
legal settlement is concluded.
The Justice Minister stressed
the Importance of broadening vo-
cational education facilities for
the training of younger prisoners
and predicted plan whereby Ger
tain groups of prisoners might be
used to ease the labor shortage
and at the same time contribute
to the support of their families. 1t
was firmly established, however.
that no general amnesty for trail
tors was to be expected in Nor
way and that proposals for large
scale pardoning of prisoners al
ready sentenced would receive lit
tie support from the Justice De-
partment.
The Committee report generally
supported the Governments set
Element procedure to date as a
true reflection of popular will. 1t
noted, however, that the whole
matter of legal settlement might
have been simplified had not the
pre-war treason laws been modi-
fled or supplemented by provis-
ional DEGREES issued following the
Nazi invasion of Norway This
portion of the committee report
was strongly opposed by various
speakers including Justice Minis
ter Gundersen, although the body
later voted to accept the report
in its present form. With the ex-
oeption of several minor revisions.
the present provisional decree per-
tanning to treason and collabora-
ton will be established as law on

Norway Views On
German Treaty

NEW YORK, N. Y.-The Nor
wegian Governments views on the
German problem and the pending
peace agreement with Germany
We're outlined in an official men,
orandum presented by the Nor
wegian Ambassador in London to
the Deputy Council of Foreign
Ministers.
In its memorandum, the Nor
wegian Government assumes that
it will have occasion to partici-
pate in discussions of the final
treaty draft, and stresses that the
most vital aim of the German
peace settlement must be to pro-
vide full guarantee against future
German aggression in any form. Eff
fective control of certain areas
of German political and economic
life are therefore deemed neces-
sary for a yet to be determined
period following the settlement.
The German people should, in the
meantime, anticipate a gradual re-
Taxation of restrictions to the
degree that they Loyalty fulfill
their obligations. A forceful parti-
ton of Germany by the victorious
powers can easily foster rather
than weaken German nationalism,
and Germans political unity
should therefore be maintained in
the future. German trusts and car
tells which supported the war
policy must be dissolved and the
economy brought under social con-
troll. A broad decentralization of
the German State administration
is further recommended in the in
terest of security. In Prussia, even
the social foundations must be
altered to prevent the traditions
which that name represents from
playing the dominating role in
Germany's political life that they
have in the past.
The Norwegian Government
further assumes that general
prohibition of military establish
ments will be applied to Germany
and that guarantees for an ef-
fective control will Be provided.
Germany's moral reconstruction is
also a matter of prime concern,
and it is emphasized that the
democratic "reschoOling' of the
German people must he the final
goal of Allied policy in Germany.
Spiritual isolation must come to
an end and Germany must come
in contact with the cultural cur.
rents in democratic world. Allied
controi authorities should grant
the German people freedom of ex-
preston to the greatest possible
degree. The German authorities
must be charged with guarantee
ing to all persons under German
Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1947-03-01

jurisdiction the basic. human free
doms and rights, and must extend
full cooperation in the trials of
war criminals. German civilian
refugees now residing IN countries
where they are not wanted should
be returned to Germany as soon
as possible.
AS soon as the German economy
permits an export surplus, the
largest possible portion should as
sumo the form of compensation
payments in accordance with the
Yalta Declaration and the Pots
dam Agreement In the interest of
security, Allied control over Ger
man industry must be made most
effective so that Germany may
never again control an industrial
apparatus which on short notice
may be converted for war prOduc-
ton. Here it must be emphasized,
however, that the German people
must be extended the hope of
economic security and possibilities
for development in the future.
German production of vital raw
materials such as coal and potash
should be pushed in the interest
of export.
In it's memorandum, the Nor
wegian Government further main
tains that eventual future recon-
struction of the German merchant
fleet must not take place in such
way that it may again be used
as supporting instrument for
German aggression. Rather it
should be emphasized that ships
of certain categOries or over a
set tonnage should be owned or
come. under the control of Allied
interests until Germany has
shown itself capable of assuming
it's natural position in world So
ciety. These same considerations
concerning the merchant marine
are still more applicable to Ger
man participation in pelagic
whaling Both factory ships and
whale catchers are particularly
adapted to conversion for war
purposes. The former may be
turned into war ships, and the
latter can be used as naval auxili-
airy vessels. The Norwegian Gov
eminent will therefore be opposed
to Germany's being given the OPP
portunity to participate in pelagic
whaling. In conclusion, it is the
Norwegian Governments view
that German open-sea trawler
fishing must be limited to a set
number of ships under strict con-
troll as the resumption of German
trawler fishing must also be re-
garded as a potential war-danger.

have to build Its forces on an equal
basis with all other nations, and
this would work to the marked dis
of some in geographic
positions such as Britain, which
needs larger navy.
Committee members still were
hopeful of clearing away several
other stumbling blocks in the final
two weeks, including the question Of
equipping forces and command.
One view was said to be that all
countries contributing forces should
send them to the u. N. fully
equipped with standard weapons,
but China and France were repre-
sented as obiecting on the grounds
they were short of some materials.
AS to leadership, the contingents
either will have to go into action
under the various national COM
manders or the Council itself will
have to name an international head
for every operation. The United
States and Russia were reported in
agreement on the first alternative.
