Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1947-10-01
Idea of Scandinavian
Customs Union Is
Disliked In Moscow

STOCKHOLM-(By airmail)-
Among the advantages of a Scan
dinavian customs union," writes
the Liberal Svenska Morgonbladet,
would be a greater home mar
ket, better distribution and To-
CALLING of the various branches of
industry and business, and also a
stronger position toward the out
side world in trade political nego-
tiations. On the other hand, it is
justifiable to warn against the be-
lief that a closer economic cooper
alton among the Scandinavian
countries would make it possible
for them to become self support
ing. Our comparatively high living
standard to very great extent is
based on an exchange of goods and
services with other countries"
The discussion about a Scandi-
navian customs union has met with
great disapproval in Moscow. On
August 81, for instance, the Mos
cow radio said that the realization
of such project would in
evitably lead to the creation of q
Nordic military-political bloc, such
as the reactionary British and
American groups wish to create.
Scandinavia's own interests do not
require an isolation from the east
ern European countries-some-
thing which customs union would
bring forth-but rather a cement
ing and expansion of the mutually
favorable commercial relations be-
tween the nations in northern and
eastern Europe"
Replying to the Russian criti-
cism, the Social-Democratic Nor
gon-Tidningen writes, The ma
tions of the North wish to cul-
tivate friendly relations with all
