Swedish Neutrality
Faces Home Critics
By LENNART STRID
Ap Nawafnafl afllraa


Stockholm ~ To the Swedish
the traditional policy
of strict neutrality in any interna-
tional conflict is still good, but an
increasing number Of Swedes say
it is obsolete. The Swedish minis
Ter Of finance, Ernst Wigforss, re-
Gently had to admit in a speech on
foreign policy that the unity on
neutrality seems to be breaking.
Foreign minister Oesten linden
has refused to commit his govern
ment to anything except the Mar
shall plan. He has been criticized
for saying east and west were
equally dangerous to this country.
The view, which is vigorously
prOpounded by "Dagens Nyheter"
and some other newspapers, is that
Sweden's chances of escaping any
new war are faint. The best course,
according to these quarters, is to
prepare military and political CO.
operation with the West in good
time. Swedish defense, it is said, is
based on the principle of delay till
help from abroad arrives. why not
acknowledge our friends and ar
range for that help before the
flood comes? After, it may be toe
late" the alliance enthusiasts say
But there has been no panic
here. Although 1914 Swedes can
immigrate to the United States
each year, that quota has not been
filled for many years. The Ameri-
can embassy in Stockholm has not
observed any increase in applica-
tiOns lately.
AS for the scare" offRussia one
I Swede recalled that American
! journalists who visited Stockholm
during the war used to make fun Oi
the Swedes for their apprehensions
| in that direction.
''The Swedes have known all the
time what the Americans have dis
covered only recently regarding
Russian expansion. Centuries o.
wars with the Russians hav,
taught us something. We are no
scared, just watchful," he said.

A SHAMEFUL SITUATION

According to a study recently completed by the Nauondi
Education Associations, between one million anu d mN n
~ hundred and fifty thousand of the nations children, Doh
white and Negro, are dropping out OF school before co"pielhs
a high school education. 49, -
The group of states ranking in the lowest one-th1rd IN
pupiLholdng power and also in per child expenditure, ue
renort reveals are: Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, South
Carolina, Arkansas, Florida, West Virginia, Oklahoma New
Mexico, Arizbona, Kentucky, Virginia, 1ehheSsec' nay h"Hu'
and Vermont. p . -
While the Research Division made no attempt to make
a population breakdown in the states reported in the loves
one-third. it is to be noted that the Negro population OF the
United States is greatest in some of the states in the list. Inns
leads to the conclusion that large numbers OF Negro children
are among the total "dropouts" per year.
Figures noted in the beginning mean that II million 10
is million children discontinue their formal training some
time before the final year OF high school About 81 OF every
1000, the report reveals, thus leave shcool prematureiy, falling
TO acquire the secondary school training, which should be
considered a minimum essential.
The level of school financial support, it is pointed out,
clearly exerts a powerful influence on the rate OF survival IN
school, and support the need Of a federal aid to education IN
order to assure a minimum educational opportunity Tor all
American youth.
Thus the states lowest in survival in pu pill attendance
are states urgently in need OF federal financial assistance Tor
public education.
Under the federal aid bill, passed by the Senate, April |,
300 million dollars would be appropriated or apportonment
among the states on the basis Of their need, ability and effort
in school support in an attempt to equahze basic educational
opportunity.
The bill corresponding to SH2 in the House must be
reported BY the House Committee on Education and Labor
before it can be acted upon by the entire House, where the
legislation also has strong bipartisan support.
Under the federal aid program the funds are to be spent
under the constitution and statutes of each state, guaranteeing
continued state control of the schools and enabling each state
to give a minimum educational opportunity to every public
school child.
The NEA says that "the federal aid program therefore
is urgently needed in reducing effectively the number Of pipils
dropping out of school in all states, and particularly in those
ranking low in income and in school support"

BLACK NO MORE

& Eight months ago the Rev. Kenneth L. Patton, a unitarian
minister Of Madison, Wisconsin, crossed the color line and
obtained nationwide publicity when he announced that ne
had to become a Negro.
The Rev. Patton's theory was that many whites considered
themselves interested in the problems Of the Negro, but that
they could not honestly or adequately appreciate such pro-
blems until they had found it possible to live as a Negro and
suffer all the pains of race discrimination and prejudice.
Now Rev. Patton announces the publication OF a book,
Come On Over" which chronicles his experiences as a color
ed man.
81 have no regrets whatsoever" he has been quoted as
saying. Some 800 persons, about two-thirds of them white
wrote me and they approved my action about thhree to one"
Rev. Patton's family, church superiors and fellow-clergy-
men all supported his action.
Recently, he attempted unsuccessfully to interest the
NAACP in sponsoring a plan for an organization Of white
people who were willing to become "colored' as he had.
OF the fight against racial discrimination, Rev. Patton
has this to say.
The people who need the message are not the ones who
get it. Sometimes it seems I'm only preaching to the con
verted."
We admire Rev. Patton as a sincere man who is willing
and has been willing to go to great lengths in order to &C
comphsh a worthy purpose. We still state, as we did when
his decision was first announced, that he still will never truly
know what it is to be a Negro and we are a little uncertain
as to whether he will do more good in the method he has
chosen than he would if he remained a white person and fought
among the bgotred members of his race to achieve a more
reasonable outlook on the part Of those who are not "con-
Eerted." ---l -

Processed Used Fdts Serve
Millions

During 1947, American women
salvaged lis million pounds Of
used kitchen fats. On the as
sumption that six-tenths Of a
pound of fat makes a pound of
soap. if the entire 1947 fat sal
wage yield were used exclusively
for soap. on this basis it would
produce SO million pounds Of
soap. In other words, kitchen fat
salvaged in 1947 could have sup
piled approximately three and a
half million people with soap for
a full year at an average Of 20
pounds per person.
