eign policy. I'm May this year
Sweden took an Enthusiastically
clear stand in favor of defense
cooperation, more accurately de-
scribed as defense union, among
the three Scandinavian countries.
Discussions on this subject have
now at last begun. Everybody
knows-though it is not officially
acknowledged - that this move
was caused by fear of Russia.
Should now this proposed Nordic
cooperation be written off simply
because the strongest power in
the world may promise to help
the Scandinavian countries if they
should be attacked? That would
be too absurd, toe illogical. Every
body knows that an isolated North
cannot be defended, and that Swe-
den cannot guarantee the secur-
ity of Denmark and Norway. A
Scandinavian union with guaran-
tees from the West is the only
path to security and thus to
peace

Thirteen more Swedish doctors as
sisted in the next large-scale ac-

when 10000 civilian concentration
camp prisoners of various nation
alities were transferred to Sweden.
During the latter years of the
war, says DR.. Nordwall. attention
in Sweden was drawn to the pre-
carious situation in Poland. AS a
result, a tuberculosis hospital for
children was donated to the city
of Warsaw. stated by thirteen
Swedish doctors. This hospital,
and the X-ray clinic simultaneous

Neutrality Is
A breakWater

STOCKHOLM, Oct. 15.-By air
mail, Disagreement has now been
reached between Great Britain and
the United States about deliveries
of British Vampire jet planes to
Sweden. according to dispatches to
Stockholm newspapers from Wash
ington. The United States earlier
objected to these deliveries. claim
! ing that they interfered with Great
Britain's obligations to the West
ern European union.
Morgon- Tidningen, main organ
of the Social-Democratic Labor
Party, points out editorially that
diplomatic circles in London re-
gard these deliveries as sign
that England counts on the posi-
bility that Sweden, together with
Denmark and Norway, may join
the defense system of the Western
European union, or perhaps even
an Atlantic union, comprising also
the United States and Canada
There is no basis for such spec
ulations, the paper emphasizes.
Sweden was the first country to
order Vampire planes from Great
Britain. This happened at a time
when the differences of opinion
between West and East had not
vet taken any serious forms, and
when England did not expect to
find any greater use or demand
for their new jet-driven planes,
which were ready for mass produc-
ton only by the end of the war.
1t is principally economic reasons
that have made England sell
Vampires to Sweden. In the
present situation it is also possible
that Great Britain, better than
far-away United States, realizes
that a well-armed, neutral Sweden
is not entirely useless breakwater
on the other side of the North
Sea" The paper points out fur
thermore that the engines of the
Vampire" planes are built on Ii
cense in Sweden.
