the most deadly fact about the labor injunction. It relies the courts, and the courts have their dignity to maintain and their face to save. and so they dare not be flexible They must compel the union and its leaders to drain the cup of worm wood, lest someone accuse the courts of Oppor- tunism.

Power SHORTAGE
Hitting Norway

OSLO-Electricity rationing in
Oslo made necessary by the dry
summer and the depleted water re-
serves has struck at both domestic
heating and communications in the
Norwegian capital. Street car
transport has been halted from
two to three hours each day while
suburban lines have been forced to
limit their service. Many factories
depending heavily upon electric
power have also been hard hit by
the shortage.
Though recent rainfall has added
to water reserves, it is estimated
that it will still be some time be-
fore electric service in the Oslo
districts can be restored to nor
NAL. In Trondelag, however, water
supplies have improved to such an
extent that rationing has been dis
continued in many districts and
the outlook for the winter months
is considerably brighter.

Temporary Halt in
Building Activity

Stockholm. (By airmaiD-A
temporary stop in building opera
lions in Sweden has been declar-
ed. This does not concern houses
in the process of being put up, but
no new building permits will be
granted for the present. The rea-
son for the edict is that the author
tiles want to try to establish a
balance between building opera
lions and the supply of materials.
At present there is such a short
age of certain materials that some
thing must be done to keep sup
ply and demand more in step. The
Government Building Loan Bureau
points out there is nothing in the
new measure to cause alarm, since
it is primarily aimed at allowing
the many large construction jobs
now in work to be finished with
out too many obstacles.

do to aid them in their grim strug-
gle against disease, destruction
and want. We can extend to them
the hand of friendship in their
desperate need by offering to help
them train a new generation of
technical experts to replace their
war-lost generation. On the basis
of population, Finland's war losses
were ten times greater than those
of the United States"
Cites Several Presidents
Senator Smith noted that there
is an important and historical
precedent for the proposed action.
He called attention to the turn
ing over of the Boxer Indemnity
some years ago to China to be
used for the education of young
Chinese in the United States. He
also pointed out a similar prece-
dent in the case of turning over
to the so-called Belgian-American
Educational Foundation the funds
that were remaining in the hands
of the Commission for the relief
of Belgium after World War I.
"These two acts of friendship
with China and Belgium, respec.
lively, are outstanding landmarks
in our history which have closely
cemented the cordial relations, and
the affections of the people of the
United Sattes for the Chinese and
for the Belgians," Senator Smith
said.
I'm the light of these expert
ences, in the light of Finland's
need, and following our own gov
ernment's goodwill actions with
China, 1 am introducing a joint
resolution on behalf of myself and
my colleagues to authorize the
President of the United States tc
hold in special fund the payment
made on Dec. Is, and any subse-
quent payments, which the Gov
eminent of Finland in the future
makes in the discharge of its
World War I Indebtedness to oul
Government.
This fund shall be used to fl
nance the studies, instruction
technical training and other educa-
tional activities of citizens of Fin
land in our American institutions. "

Experiments initiated by the
Swedish Defense Research Insti-
tute during the war and later con-
tinued by the Government owned
Cea Works, at Strangnas, have re-
suited in highly successful meth
cd of printing color photographs.
A so-called three-color camera
simultaneously exposes three films
through one lens. After the films
have been developed in the ordi-
nary way, they are printed on spe-
cially colored printing paper, one
for each of the three basic colors.
These are then placed one on top
of the other, and the result is a
picture of surprisingly natural
color. The experiments have been
led by DR.. G. Sjostedt and the
Stockholm photographer, Benno
Movin-Hermes, who recently ex-
hibited number of color photo
graphs of this kind at The Archi-
tectural League in New York.

A resolution supported by 10
leading Senators of both parties
to reward Finland, the little ma
ton which never defaulted on its
debt, was introduced in Congress
recently.
Its effect is to provide that all
further payments by the Republic
of Finland on its 1919 debt be set
aside in a special fund to be used
for the education of Finnish youth
in the United States to fit them to
help rebuild their country.
The legislation has impressive
bipartisan backing. introduced
by Senator H. Alexander Smith
(R) of New Jersey, second rank
ing Republican member of the
Committee on Foreign Relations,
it is supported by Senators Lever
EFT Saltonstall (R) of Massachu-
sets; John w. Bricker (R) of
Ohio; William F. Knowland (R)
of California; Carl A. Hatch CD
of New Mexico; Henry Cabot
Lodge, Jr. (R) of Massachusetts,;
Ebert D. Thomas CD of Utah;
Joseph c. OMahoney CD of Wy
oming, and Lister Hill CD of Ala
bama.
AS reason for making this
proposal, Senator Smith pointed
out that Finland alone, of all the
countries who owed money to the
United States after World War I
had never defaulted in the pay
ment of its obligation. The origin
al debt of Finland to the United
States was 1921, 92617. This OBJ

1.-THE year just past was in some
ways one Of disappointment"
writes Prime Minister Tage Err
lander in "Dagens Nyheter' re-
Gently. THE peaceful reconstruc-
ton work met new obstacles, and
the tension between the Great
Powers seems to have increased
rather than the opposite. Com
merce has been forced to accept
new restrictions, and the dearth
of dollars, caused by a general
penury has shaken nation after
nation. The situation has been
further worsened in many coun-
tries by a catastrophe draught.
Our own country has not escaped
the effects of these conditions.
"Such a development could not
have been foreseen. Everybody
regarded the situation optimistic
ally, and that made us, as well as
others, over-estimate our resour-
ces. Now we must adjust ourselves
to the present state of affairs.
This means that we must do with
out things we should like to have.
On the other hand, there is no
need for panic. We intend to carry
on with all major reforms. so i'm
portant for the masses of the peo-
Pile, notably the increased old age
pensions and the grants to chill
dren. And we will try to keep our
housing production on level
which somewhat corresponds to
our needs
I'VE will hold steadfastly to our
resolution: We will surmount the
present difficulties. During the
last months of 1947 there could
perhaps be perceived certain signs
which might be interpreted as
promises of better material con-
ditions for Europe in 194S than
we dared to hope for last summer.
1t seems as if the production pow

of Finland in the period immedi-
ately following World War I.
Only One to Pay
"Since that time, % years ago,
when other nations, great and
small, rich and poor, have de-
faulted on their debt payments,
the heroic people of little Finland
have repeatedly demonstrated that
they place integrity above comfort
or convenience" Senator Smith de-
clared. "They have constantly
made payments on their indebted
ness to the United States as those
payments fell due.
These remarkable people, who
contend with adverse destinies il
severe climate and who strug-
gle for a living in a land which
nature has treated with so little
generosity, appear determined in
a world of forgotten principles to
make their country an example OF
integrity.
"a distinguished American who
travelled over Finland during this
past year has expressed the belief
that if the people of that country
were free to go to the country OF
their choosing, 10 out of every 70
would emigrate to the United
States Immediately. Circumstan-
ces, of course, make it impossible
for Finland to send them here in
any large numbers and, of course
obviously the suggestion is i'm
practical.

Relations Between
Sweden and Russia
Are Discussed

Stock m.-(By airmai)-
Since the end of the war Sweden
has been confronted with the. del
icate problem of how to maintain
an equipoise between East and
West, Mr.. Dingle Foot, during the
war Parliamentary Secretary in
the British Ministry of Economic
Warfare, writes in an article in
the October II, 1947, issue of The
Spectator of London.
when a year ago the Swedish
Government signed the trade a
greement with Russia, despite a
strong protest from Washington,
some observers in this country in
ferred that Sweden, like Czechoslo-
vakia, was being drawn into the
Russian orbit. They were there
fore agreeably surprised when the
Swedes accepted the invitation to
take part in the Paris Conference
on the Marshall Plan. Both the in
ference and the surprise were I'M
justified. The Swedes are a stiff
necked people who do not readily
yield either to threats or to more
subtle forms of pressure. For ex-
ample, they are at the present
time mourning Russian displeasure
by affording sanctuary to a steady
trickle of refugees from the Baltic
states who escape across the sea
to avoid deportation to Siberia.
There has indeed during the
past twelve months been a steady
hardening of opinion vis-a-vis the
Soviet Union" Mr.. Dingle Foot
continues.
1.-THE trade agreement is widely
criticized. It's effects have not as
yet been very great, since the Rus
slams have still to place the bulk
of their orders. When they do,
however, the strain on Swedish
economy may be considerable. The
agreement is for a credit of 200
m illion kronor a year for five
years. If this maximum figure is
reached, as may possibly happen
in the fourth and fifth years, and
if at the same time there is a
continuing shortage of labor, the
consequence must be a serious in
crease in inflationary pressure.
Moreover, it is unlikely to bring
any long-term benefit to Swedish
industry. Russian demands so far
have been for particular articles
(e. g., special locomotives) which
do not fit into the ordinary pat
tern of production and for which
there will probably be no repeat
orders. So the agreement is de-
finitely unpopular. The opposition
parties do not quarrel with it in
principle. But they criticize the
manner in which the Government
agreed.
I'm an address in Stockholm Octo-
Der 80, the Swedish Prime Mini
ster, Tage Erlander, said that the
Swedish Russian credit agreement
is so constructed that the size of
the credits will depend on the
Swedish industry's ability to de-
liver goods.
This, however, is not the main
reason for the present state OF
Swedish opinion. Undoubtedly the
chief cause is the behavior of the
Soviet delegates at the Security
Council -. The persistent use OF
the veto by the U. S. S. R. has
shocked the Swedish. public more
than anything else that has hap
pened in world affairs since the
end of the war :"
