of 1916. The Swedish Government
granted Russia a credit of 1000
million kronor, or about $278 mil
lion, to be used during period of
five to six years. The agreement
did not mean, however, that Swe-
den promised to deliver to Russia
goods valued at 1000 million kro-
nor Cor rather about $50 millions,
for according to the treaty about
$50 millions would be used to pay
for freights, etc.. It represented
an undertaking on the part of the
Swedish Government to pay the
Swedish industry in advance for
goods it delivered to Russia up to
the amount agreed upon between
the two governments.
Other S wv d / sh Reconstruction
Credits and Gifts $735 Million
Reviewing Sweden's aid in the
reconstruction of Europe, Mr.. Err
lander pointed out that before the
war ended Sweden had started to
grant credits and make gifts. At
the end of hostilities, the Swedish
credits totaled 1888 million kro-
nor. Gifts by the Government and
by individuals, made both during
and after the war, represent 922
million kronor in all. After the
war, credits have been granted to
the amount of 1,191 millions, in

however, has hardly been utilized
as yet. The total of Swedish cred

that there actually is no need for
a reconsideration, since the credit
agreement is so constructed that
the size of the credits will depend
on the Swedish industry's ability
to deliver goods.
"A number of unfortunate cir
cumstanceS, such as the reduced
production of electric power, the
continued scarcity of industrial
raw materials and the shortage of
manpower, affect unfavorably the
export capacity of the Swedish in
dustry and therefore also its abili-
ty to effectuate the scheduled de-
liveries on credit to Soviet Russia"
the Prime Minister said. TT is, of
course, too early to form defin-
ite opinion of the chances to make
the deliveries, for the agreement
covers five to six years and less
than one year has now elapsed. 1t
is obvious, however, that the Swe-
dish shipments, to an even greater
extent than was at first anticipat-
ed, will have to be concentrated
at the end of the period. Should
the present difficulties remain or
increase, or new difficulties arise
which make it impossible to eff
fectuate deliveries to the extent
foreseen in the agreement, then
Russia's utilization of the credits
will automatically be reduced to a
corresponding degree"

and Russia was signed in the fall

would again react to the disad-
vantage of more efficient whaling

OSLO. - Norwegian whaler's
views on Japanese and German
participation in Antarctic whaling
were outlined recently by Prof.
Birger Bergersen, Norwegian AM
bassador to Sweden and chairman
of the Norwegian Whaling Coun-
Gil.
Regarding the possibility of
broadened participation increasing
the amount of fat available for
world consumption, Prof. Berger
sen declared:
THE maximum quota of 100000
tons of whale oil can not be in
creased if the international whal-
ing convention is to be respected.
Therefore the permission which the
Americans have given japan to
I engage in whaling will not lead
to any improvement in the world
fat situation nor can it help
Japan"
This, he noted, is due to the fact
that the oil produced by Japanese
whaling will be distributed through
the usual international allocatinS
bodies. THE only visible result
of Japan's being granted permits
sion to resume whaling, is that
Norway and Britain will have to
carry on under more difficult con-
ditions, despite the fact that these
two countries are the most expe-
rienced in this industry. 1t is these
two countries which make best
use of the raw materials and who
observe the international regula-
tons"
He then continued to point out
that Japan, during the 1946-47
season, carried out whaling opera
tions in much the same manner as
before the war-paying little re-
gard to international regulations,
killing more whales than could be
utilized, and processing the raw
materials most inefficiently.

u. S. Doctor and Wife
Share Half of l947
Nobel Medicine Prize

STOCKHOLM, October 23-(By
Wireless)-The 1947 Nobel Prize
in medicine and physiology today
was awarded jointly to DR.. Carl F.
Corr and, his wife, DR.. Gerty Corr,
of Washington University, st.
Louis, and DR.. Bernardo Alberto
Houssay, a Buenos Aires scientist.
The Coris received one half of the
prize for their discovery of the
process of catalytic metabolism of
glycogen. A native of Prague,
where he was born in 1896, DR..
Corr and his wife, who came from
the same city, arrived in the I'm
tied States in 1922 and became
naturaliZed citizens in 1928. He
was a biochemist at the State In
stitute for the Study of Malig-
nant Diseases, at Buffalo, from
1922 to 1881 and since 1881 has
served as professor of pharma-
cology and biochemistry at the
Washington University School of
Medicine. In all his major re-
search and experiments he has
been aided by his wife. They have
succeeded in isolating the particu-
lar engine which begins the pro-
cess of converting animal starch
into sugar within the body.
DR.. Houssay, sixty-year old head
of the Institute of Biology and Ex-
perimental Medicine at Buenos
Aires, shared in the prize for his
discovery of the significance of the
hormone produced by the frontal
lobe of the hypophysis, or the pit
uitary gland. The prize this year
is worth 1918 kronor, or $48,-
752. which means that the Coris
and DR.. Houssay will receive $24,-
376 as their shares. The Coris are
the third married couple to re-
ceive a Nobel Prize for joint work
in scientific research. The 1908
prize in physics was shared be-
tween Pierre and Marie Curie and
Antoine-Henri Becquerel, who all
three had worked in the field of
radioactivity. In 1885 the daugh-
ter of Marie Curie, Irene Joliot-
Curie and her husband, Frederic
Joliot, shared the Nobel chemistry
prize.
