Guided under each Of these lang
uages.
The non-English newspaper in
the United States has a long his
tory. In 1889, only thirty-five
years after the first English
language newspaper made its ap
pearance in Boston, Massachusetts,
8 German newspaper began pub
lcation in Germantown. Pennsyl-
vania. Shortly after the American
War for Independence there We're
some thirty-five German news
papers in the State of Pennsylvania
alone, and French newspapers
began publication in Boston and
Detroit, Michigan.
Successive waves of immigration
preceding the Civil War were
marked by the appearance of the
first Danish, Italian, Norwegian,
Welsh, Spanish, Swedish and Po-
lish newspapers. After the United
States purchased Alaska from
Russia in 1867, a Russian news
paper was set up in San Francisco.
Before the end of the nineteenth
century Arabic, Armenian. Car
patho-Russian, Chinese. Czech,
Croatian Dutch Eippicb Craoly
Hungarian, Lithuanian, Serbian,
Slovak, Slovene, Ukrainian, Yid-
dish and other non-English lang
uage newspapers were established.
In 1917 the non-Engish language
press in the United States reached
a peak, with some 1850 publica-
tons. After the enactment of the
quota laws, restricting immigra-
ton. the number decreased, but

Echo Sounding Apparatus
Used to Troee
Herring Schools


STOCKHOLM, Fen. 7-(By air.
maiD-Successful experiments in
ira n G schools of herring by
means. of echo sounding have re-
Gently been made off Sweden's
east coast. Two submarines par
ticipated in the search. On the
first day on which the method
was tried, fishing boat caught
almost 1000 pounds of herring
near the place where the echo
sounding apparatus had indicated
the presence of a school. Even
schools of fish hiding in depres-
sions in the sea bottom at depth
of up to 1900 feet were traced.
Experiments have also been
made on the west coast where a
mine sweeper, equipped with peri
phone and echo sounding appar-
atus, has made a similar success
fun search for herring. BY means
of the periphone the spread of
the school can also be determined.

Norway Timber Fall
Reaches 1919 of Goal

Norway's winter timber
fall, on which the success of both
the reconstruction and export
programs will largely depends, is
progressing satisfactorily accord
ing to February 18th reports. APP
proXimately $1,000 loggers have
turned out 4,O21 $50 cubic meters
of timber or 70 per cent of the
timber goal set for the 1946-47
season.
1t is feared, however, that re-
cent cold weather in southern and
eastern Norway will slow falling
in those areas, and that this may
effect the overall picture by the
end of the falling season. The
pending Norwegian trade pro-
gram is largely dependent upon
adequate supplies of timber for
pulp and paper exports to relieve
present shortages of these pro-
ducts abroad.

Osborne's diplomatic service and
his special work for the State De.

contact with the Scandinavian
countries. He is especially aware
of the desirability of reYitalizjne
the exchange of cultural ideas re-
duced to trickle during the war.
In devotion to the dignity of
the individual and the safeguard

probably come closer to the Amer

the peoples of Continental Europe.
Scandinavian monarchial systems
are adjusted to concepts of de-

waver that no hardships are too
great to endure for their preser-

Between 1910 and 1910 the
United States admitted 1889, 494
Immigrants from all quarters of
the world. To these newcomers,
an American newspaper printed in
their native tongue provided a tie
between them and their adopted
country. Oftentimes the paper
served as sort of guide and text
book to American customs and in
stitutions, American history and
government, employment, natural
iZation, and the thousand and one
things a newcomer wants and
needs to know.
1t is from Americans of foreign
birth and their families that the
non-English press draws the bulk
of its readers. Not only do per-
sons of foreign birth or parentage
constitute one quarter of the
American population, but in the
1910 Census as many as 81 1896, 24O
persons in the United States re-
ported some language other than
English as their mother tongue

more, according to Census sta
tistics on mother tongue or race,
included:
Swedish, 10000; Norwegian,
SOS, 220; Finnish, 23O,42O; Danish,
226, LAO.
Non-English papers in the
United States range all the way
from small struggling sheets,
printed and edited by a single in
6lvidual, to influential weeklies
and large dailies with circulations
reaching six figures, equipped with
modern plants and capable of pro-
oucing impressive Sunday editions.
An important part of American
journalism, non-English publica-
tons have the same rights and
privileges as their more numerous
English competitors.
To millions of newcomers not
yet at home in English, non-Eng-
Ish publications in the United
States render an invaluable serv-
ice. They are source of current
news, an interpreter of American
institutions and ideals, a guide to
the American scene, and a link to
