Talk On Sweden
Marks Meefinq
fRoiary Club

A talk on Sweden, its people
and economic life. marked the
weekly luncheon meeting of the
Pascagoula Rotary Club Wednes.
day noon at the Country Club,
Guest speaker was Gunnar Won
Feilitzen. a lieutenant-eommand
er in the Swedish navy, who has
been in the United States for l6
months studying production in
American shipyards. He has been
at the ingalls, yard for some time.
Sweden may roughly be COM
pared to the state of Texas in area
and population, Mr.. Won Feilit-
zen said, and because of the Gulf
stream. enjoys moderate winters.
Up until a century ago Sweden
was rs percent agriculture, but
because of intense industrializa-
ton since that time the figure
has dropped to approximately IS
percent. This industrialization
has been accomplished despite the
fact that Sweden produces vir-
tually no coal or oil, but depends
on the import of these vital fuels
for industry.
With 10 percent of its land area
covered by forests, 80 to 40 per-
cent of Sweden's total exports are
wood products, and rs percent of
its imports are raw materials for
industry and industrial machin-
cry.
Shipbuilding Booming
Shipbuilding is booming in
Sweden at the present time. he
said. Norway, which is in process
of replacing its merchant fleet,
has placed 1.000,0 900 tons of
shipbuilding in Swedish yards.
Because of its social reforms,
there is a mistaken idea that Swe-
den is undergoing naturalization,
Mr.. Won Feilitben said. Social re-
forms were undertaken many
years ago to raise the general
standard of living, and give Sc
curity to all persons, ne said, and
have no bearing with nationalist
ton of industry OIL socialism.
The speaker was introduced by
E. r. Hammett, who also had as
his guest Clyde M. Leavitt. Other
visiting Rotarians and guests in
cluded Earl Walker, guest of
Baylous Stokes, George Young
of the Ocean Springs club. and
