Sweden Has a Crisis, 90
(See FOX, Page G
By Nat Barrows

NEW YORK-The Middle Way
needs a repair crew.
/Sweden's economic position, once
the envy of a world at war. Is
strained to the swapping point. The
Swedes have too large a backlog OF
purchasing power. too few available
consumer goods, over-extended for
eign loans and not enough foreign
credits, particularly in dollars.
The result Is crisis.
But Sweden, unlike the United
States in a parallel case of over
abundant postwar spending power
coupled with consumer goods In
short supply, is Tightening. not re-
laxing, government controls.
Rationing in Sweden today is
heavier than during the war.
The Social Democrats controlling
the Riskdag put their faith in a
program of luxury buying.
The Western countries are hit di-
rectly by the restriction on import
licenses. These are being granted
only for what AxeI Gjoeres' Ministry
of Supply considers goods most es-
sential This does not include
American automobiles.

BERLIN.--One OF the bars to the
rapid rebuilding Of Germany Is the
relatively advanced age of It's work
ers, a condition that is especially
pronounced in Berlin.
Berlin's trade union movement
has almost 100000 members organ
lied in Is different groups. Two
thirds of them. according to the
recent annual report, were more
than 40 years old at the time Of the
survey, while almost one-fourth
were over 55.
While weak from the standpoint
of young blood in its ranks. these
unions are strong In two other re-
spects, however:
Their central fund. to which they
contribute, as no union has Its in
dividual treasury, has shot up from
1900 900 to more than 10000, 900
marks within year At the lotto
81 rate of the mark, that is 81 ,000, 900.
Their coordination in q central
trade union authority makes them
one Of the most closely knit and
powerful agencies In Berlin.

New u Foreign Policy Approved by Congress, Expected TO Have
Vital Bearing on Areas Abroad Now in the Shadow Of Communism

mean country. She produces enough
not only to take care Of the popu-
lation but also to export small guam
titles. For the first time in history,
Turkey has been sending coal to
England. Her agricultural prod
ucts bring high price in world
markets. Yet Turkeys financial
position is shaky because the bulk
of the national income has to be
spent on military preparations. The
Turkish Prime Minister told this
correspondent that If 1t had not
been for this "precaution,' the Rus
slams would have entered Turkey
last summer.
The Turkish land could produce
more than it does If IS per cent Of
the rural youths were not kept In
the armed forces. The land is titled
mostly by women and elderly men.
This reduces the total cultivated
area, because, in a country where
mechanical agricultural implements
are still rare 1t takes strong young
people to work the fields.
The young and limited Turkish
industry is engaged principally in
producing supplies for the army and
manufacturing small arms and am
ml1nition.
Communists Weak in Turkey.
Unlike other Mediterranean coun-
tries, there is no fifth column in
Turkey. Communism has gained no
foothold, except among a few dis
contented intellectuals. But even
this infiltration is negligible, since
lit is rather theoretical. The Com
munists, whose number is estimated
at about 5000, are Marxists rather
than followers of Moscow.
Turkeys political progress is ham,
pered by the fear of Russian inva-
sion. There is still. in fact, only one
political party in this country, and
until the foreign situation clears up,
the newly created Democratic Party
has little chance to gain strength.
All political leaders in Turkey
agree that both economic and social
improvements would make impress
sive strides if the threat to the ma
tion's independence was removed.
And this is true In every one of the
Mediterranean countries which this
reporter has visited so far.

Neutral Sweden began piling up
the present economic crisis during
the war. Foreign trade was dis
rupted. In order to live. Sweden
traded with Germany. At one time
the Third Reich was furnishing the
Swedes with 81 per cent of their
imports.
Last autumn Sweden extended
s278 ,000, 900 in trade credits to the
Soviet Union. For five years the
Russians expect to get about Is
per cent of Sweden's exports.
This. the Swedes say. was not
appeasement but a hard-headed
business transaction. Whatever it
was, Sweden's experiment in linking
free enterprise alongside Communist
economy isn't likely to plug the gap
left by a nonexistent market with
Germany.
All of which adds up to this big
worry for the Swedes: Can We
continue our middle way against
the forces OF such pressures or
must we eventually compromise
ourselves and line up, one way or
another, with east or west7

whica Spain needs desperately for.
a return to prosperity, hesitates to
invest in country which at any
time may become the scene of an
other bloody revolution.
Any government which succeeds
Gen. Franco will have to hold free
and unfettered election. This means
that the borders of Spain must be
opened tc admit the 106 900 political
refugees who are assembled In
France. 1t Is true that less than 20
per cent OF these are Communist
Underlined, but even this number
is sufficiently active to start the
ball rolling tor revolution, and with
Russia's open or veiled support
could DO good job of disrupting
Spain. ......
Little Improvement in Italy.
Some so per cent of the Spanish
budget is devoted to the army. This
force of some 100000 men is kept
under arms merely because of the
fear of revolution, in which Com
munist cells in Spain would re-
ceive reinforcement from abroad.
| A similar situation exists in Italy,
where the rank and file works over
time trying to restore the country's
economic stability. But this re-
markable display OF activity has
brought little improvement. The
fear of a Communist coup after
American troops leave the country
lis in the minds Of nearly every
italian.
| The Italian Communist leader,
Palmiro Togliatti, Is supported by
Russia through his former colleague
/ in the Comintern, Yugoslavia's Mar
shall Tito.
!. The YugosIav Threat.
In most italian homes there is
the fear that within a few months
after the Allied troops leave. Yugo-
slavia wilP send troops into the
country, under one pretext or an
other. Togliatti expects to form a
coalition government with himself
at its head after the next election.
If Marshal Tito decides to enter
italy in order to bring that country
/ behind the iron curtain, Togliatti
is not likely to appeal to the United
Nations. He is expected to greet
his Moscow colleague as a friend,
who helped introduce real democ-
racy" in Italy. Under the eondi-
tions. italian industrialists fear that
any effort for economic reconstruc-
ttion would be wasted.
| Without the Communist cloud,
which originates in Moscow and
aims to make Italy another satel-
lite on the Polish or Yugoslay mod
Ell, Italy,s economic situation prob
ably would improve faster than that
of any other country in the Medi-
lterranean basin.
/ Turkey has suffered from Russian
jitters since the end of the war. It
its a predominantly agricultural
country of 1s,oo0,0 900 which is COM
PEELED to keep under arms a force
of 525 900 men tthe unoficial figure

A conservative estimate places
the well-equipped Soviet forces on

ISTANBUL, Turkey (By MaiD.-'
The United States new foreign pol
icy, as expressed by President Tru-
man, is bound to have important
repercussions, not only politically
but also economically, If approved
by both branches of the American
Congress.
AS long as the U. S. S. r. was per-
mitted to monopolize the field of
positive action, she was able to cre-
ate political and economic chaos in
some nations outside the iron cur
tain.
Were IL not for the threat from
Russia and her satellites, the ma
tions in the Mediterranean basin
could recover economically in
relatively short time-probably not
more than five years.
Personal observations and con-
versations with political leaders and
economists as well as with foreign
observers in all the countries I have
visited in the last two months
clearly indicated this fact.
The effect of Soviet policies In
delaying economic reconstruction
manifests itself in many forms. But
everywhere it has the same pur-
pose: To create political chaos for
its strong repercussion on economic
recovery in all the countries from
France to Turkey.
Reds Thick in France.
In France the Communist Party
has infiltrated into all phases of
the country's life. The importance
of that party in French political life
is actually of less consequence than
in the social and economic fields.
The General Confederation of Labor
(CGT) is now 10 per cent Com
munist and the strict Moscow dis
cipline is already visible among
French labor unions A signal
from Maurice Thorez's headquar-
tiers could throw Frances entire in
dustrial life into turmoil by start
ing general strike.
This threat hangs heavily over
the political thinking of all French
leaders. In the rural districts the
Communists are gaining popularity.
This is not due to the French farm
er adopting Marxist theories, for he
neither knows nor understands
them. But the Communists. through
the influence they have, exercised
since the liberation, are able TO give
Frances farming population advan-
tages and privileges which no other
political party considered it wise or
possible to offer.
The strategists of the Politbureau
have created gulf between the
rural and urban populations of
France. In addition, they have
liquidated the powerful bourgeois
element.
The Spanish Situation.
The Socialists, who hold strong
position in the National Assembly,
are unable to cope with the situa-
tion because they are divided among
themselves. In their desire to hold
the rains of government, the poorly
led Socialist parties feel compelled
to make temporary alliance with
Thorez's Communists. As a result
only serious weakening of Russia's
prestige could change the present
situation. which prevents Frances
economic rehabilitation.
In Spain Generalissimo Francisco
Franco is far from popular. He
stays in power, only because Of the
fear that q sudden change Of
leadership would give the Com
munists outside Spain an oppor-
tunity TO start another civil war.
The unsettled political situation
In Spain holds back al further eco

Defeat at Polls Helped.
He conceded that with Repub.

Five months afterward, it is stat
ing fact to say that Mr.. Truman
was helped rather than hurt by the
reputation of his party.
Certainly, he lost no strength in
Congress. for there was none to lose,
and the Republicans now must share
some of the responsibility of gov
eminent.
More Importantly, the defeat took
him out of the Roosevelt shadow
