Occupation Demand Denied.
The main concern expressed by
political observers here today was:
Is Mr.. Stalin's request dictated
exclusively by wish to safeguard
Soviet territory, especially Lenin-
grad, or Is there something more
behind it.
Authoritative Government sources
stressed that what has happened so
far is that Russia has requested ne
gotiations with the intention of get
ting a defense pact.
There have been no Russian de-
mands of any kind, they pointed
out, and no expression in regard to
what Russia will demand whenever
such negotiations begin.
These sources called absolutely

lated abroad that Mr.. Stain has

was natural consequence of Fin
lands geographical position. It

ton as to the existence of a con-
nection between recent events in
Czechoslovakia and the Russian
move toward Finland.
Hufvudstadsbladet conceded that
developments in other countries had

previous politics" But it claimed,
this would not necessarily be al

Danish Order
To Eisenhower

At a ceremony held at the Dan
ish Embassy in Washington, D.
c., recently, Gustav Rasmussen,
Danish Minister of Foreign At
fairs, handed over to General of
the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower
the insignia of the ancient Danish
Order of the Elephant, Denmark's
highest honor.
The decoration is worn by the
King of Denmark, Royal families
and heads of States, but outside
those categories the only ones to
whom it has been given at the
present time are General Eisen-
hover and Field Marshal Viscount
Montgomery
1t is one of the oldest and most
distinguished Orders of Knight
hood in the world. founded in the
1440's by King Christian I of Den
mark, at about the same time as
the institution of the British Or
der of the Garter. Those of the
Order of the Elephant are re-
quested to submit their coat-of-
arms, and a shield is wrought and
hung in the chapel of the Castle
at Fredericksburg.
The sign of the Elephant is a
heraldic symbol of wisdom and
strength. The badge is worn on
the right side suspended from
blue sash draped over the left
shoulder and is a white-enamel
gold elephant with a cross on its
side set with diamonds. and a
diamond on its forehead, carrying
on its back a red-enameled gold
tower. 1t is worn together with an
eight-point silver star in the CEN
ter of which-inside a laurel
Wreath-is a silver cross on a red
background which brings out the
Danish colors.
The late King Christian X con-
ferred the Order upon General
Eisenhower on December IS, 1915,
at which time the General was
compelled to forego his contem-
plated visit to Copenhagen. 1t is
according to the personal wishes
of King Frederik X that the in
sigma were presented to General
Eisenhower on the occasion of the
Danish Foreign Minister'S visit to
the United States.

All Swedish prisons are under

and is expected to arrive in New
mutation, or time off earned for
good behavior, does not exist, ex
cept that such matters are kept
in mind when parole is considered
in the case of those with indeter-
inmate sentences. The wage earn
ings vary in American equivalent
from 10 to so cents a day, but
it should be noted that the purch-
asing power of this wage is some
what greater in Sweden than in
the United States. The inmate
may spend about half of this in
come in the purchase of cigar
cites, candy, fruit and magazine
or newspaper subscriptions with
out restrictions. With the balance
the prisoner pays for dental care,
clothing for use on release, etc,
for in Sweden these costs have
to be borne by the inmate. Saw
ings may also be used for the sup
port of dependents, but most of
it is set aside for the time of re-
lease.
The types of work performed in
the Swedish prisons are about the
same as those found in American
institutions, emphasis being laid
on carpentry, mechanical shop
work, tailoring, and agriculture.
Agricultural work dates back to
1917. During the winter season
some of the prisoners in camps
and other open institutions are
engaged in numbering.
According to the new legisla-
ton prisoners are to be encour-
aged in maintaining contact with
their families or others dear to
them. At the institution where the
writer is engaged, visitors are per-
mitted on Sundays for one hour
in the walled section and three
hours in the open cottages. The
rules for correspondence have been
relaxed. The inmate may write
uncensored letters to the prison
administration and can thus make
whatever complaints he wants to
present. Such letters are, however,
returned to the head of the in
stitution for his comments. AT
nv institution we have begun to
permit those assigned to the open
and half-open sections, that is,
those who are to be paroled re-
latively soon, to send and receive
uncensored letters to and from re-
latives.
Schooling, academic or voca-
tional, is provided to the extent
it is found practical, but it seems
to me that it has reached higher
plane in the United States than
in Sweden One of the advantages
of the large institutions in the
United States is that they permit
development of more varied &C.
cupational program.
Entertainments and sports are
permitted about as they are in
America, with motion pictures
now and then and football games
with outside teams. Occasionally
theatrical and musical artists give
volunteer performances for the
prisoners.
A Swedish prison guard works
AS hours a week. His salary is
about equal to that of Swedish
civil servants generally. Before he
reaches the age of 40 he gets an
annual vacation of 20 days. This
is increased to 80 days after his
4oth birthday. He is retired from
service at the age of 60 and re-
ceives a pension at tn a time
amounting to about two-thirds of
his salary. Specified amounts are
