Union will be persuaded to
abandon it's present hostile pol
icy and shift. at long last, to a
policy of genuine cooperation
aimed at building a better and
safer global civilization through
the constantly improving agen-
cies of the United Nations. The
faith may be ill-founded, but
large numbers of Danes, Nor
Wegians and SWedes-Who
would be caught in the middle
of any shooting war between
East and West-feel that there
is a real basis for it, and they
do not believe they are being
overwishful.
Natural Fortifcation
Assuming the worst, how
ever. assuming the outbreak of
war and a Russian invasion of
Scandinavia. the three coun-
tries could be counted upon to
resist to the limit of their
strength, particularly if the
United States and the West in
general were sure to come to
their aid. In the case Of Den
mark, primarily because of its
fiat and open terrain, sustained
resistance against a heavily ,su-
perior force would be difficult
in the extreme, though fairly
effective underground opera
tions-as demonstrated during
the Nazi occupation-could be
carried out. In rugged and
wooded Sweden, on the other
hand, and in Norway, with its
fjords, mountains and forests,
an invader would be likely to
run into real trouble. In this
connection, the NorWegians
pointedly observe that in their
country Hitler's soldiers COM
mitted suicide at a higher rate
than in any other land they
occupied.
But no Scandinavian likes to
dwell upon the darker posslbili-
ties implicit in the present
world situation. AS a matter
of fact, many Danes, Nor
wegians and SWedes feel that
there has been an excess of
alarmist talk and speculation
especially in America-and they
are inclined not to favor news
paper articles like this one.
Although they do not wear
rose-colored glasses and are
anything but naive, they have
a preference for the cautiously
optimistic view that everything
will work out all right in the
end. 1t is by no means lncon-
ceivable that they are right.
Evening star., 1949-03-13

wholesalers run into something a
bit more complex. The 100000
and-up retailer will be given a
1912 page form, but it is not as
intricate as it seems. The form
is broken down into sections deal
ing with many kinds of businesses,
and each retailer need answer
only those questions applying to
him.
Instead of wrestling it out on
the spot, enumerators will leave
the longer forms with managers
to fill out "at their convenience. "
They hope one or two weeks will
be convenient enough.
To measure any possible differ
ences between large and small re-
tail stores in questions answered
only by the large store, the Census
Bureau is requiring a representa-
tive group Of small stores to report
on the longer, more detailed forms.
Although owners and managers
are required by law to answer all
questions, they likewise are pro-
tected against any kickbacks
Each form is labeled confidential
and informs the reader that the
Census Bureau may not disclose
any facts therein.
"Only sworn census employees
will see your statements, the
message assures. Your census
report cannot be used for purposes

churned UP as they can. their
strategy being to try to weaken
and wear down the free world
over a period of years, mean
while winning time for them
selves to gain in relative
strength. Thus, according to
this theory, the main lines OF
Soviet action may be summed
up as follows:
Cd Oppose the Marshall Plan
by every means possible to i'm
pede industrial and agricultural
recovery in the West; CD create
and maintain a scare" situa-
ton with the cold war to force
the free nations, which can Ill
afford it, to devote more and
more of their wealth and effort
to rearmament instead of to
reconstruction projects of en-
during value; go in that way,
slowly but surely breed the po-
litical and social discomfort
and the economic disequilib-
rum on which Communist agi-
tation thrives. and "a pursue
this policy militantly and with :.
out letup in the hope that the 7.
world outside the iron curtain
will in due course be so played
out and discouraged that its
will to resist will be undermined,
thus ultimately leaving the to-
talitarian Red empire in posi-
ton of relatively greater power.
Plan Must Succeed
Like many theories, of course.
this one may yet be proved
false. But in Scandinavia con-
siderable Importance is at
tached to it. and to cope with
the Soviet strategy outlined in
it, thoughtful Danes and Nor
wegians-and many thoughtful
Swedes as we'll. despite their
governments present policy
are convinced that the Western
world must do two things above
all: Cd Bend every effort to
make the Marshall Plan sue
ceed, and CD form a firm
grouping in the Atlantic pact in
order to- make unmistakably
clear to the Russians that they
are overwhelmingly outweighed
politically, economically, mil
itarily and otherwise-in the
international balance of power.
and that if they dared to march
aggressively they would march
to their own doom.
It is the firm faith of many
Scandinavians that if the free
world acts in such a manner,

Other peoples business becomes
the Governments business tomor-
row when the Census Bureau be-
gins sending its enumerators
around to $4,000 area retail,
wholesale and service concerns.
For the first time in 10 years,
the Nations businessmen will
furnish facts and figures pertinent
TO cataloguing the country's busi-
ness status as whole and giving
each individual a yardstick to
gauge his own enterprise.
Nationally, it's an undertaking
that will keep 68 permanent and

Summer. The men with the Com

Not So Painful
In the Washington area, Super
visor Samuel H. Freeman will have
80 enumerators pounding the
pavements from three to five
months, depending on how quick
ly each businessman unloads his
particular assortment of statistics.
This area embraces the District
and Alexandria, as we'll as Arling-
ton and Fairfax Counties in Vir-
ginia and Prince Georges, Mont
gomery, Charles, st. Marys and
Calvert Counties in Maryland.
For about 80 per cent of the
businessmen, the interviews should
be no more painful than any Is
or 20 minute chat, provided they
are prepared to met the census
taker cordially.
The census man expects cheer

manufacturers are not included
unless they have retail outlets.
AS soon as each phase Of the
area canvass is completed,
pamphlets covering the findings
in retail, wholesale and service
categories will be published for
public distribution.
Economists Interested
AS in the national compendium,
each individual business will lose
it's identity in the whole. But
from the statistics businessmen
may learn the number of stores
in their particular field, total
amount of sales, number of pro-
prietors, number of full-time and
part time employees. the full-time
and part-time payrolls and the
sales volumes of the principal
lines of merchandise sold.
The average storekeeper may

work whatever.
Then the retailer probably will
need to consult his records for
these other queries:
What were your merchandise
sales in 1913? Receipts from re-
pairs and other services to Gus
toners? Total receipts from Gus
toners? Name the principal lines
of merchandise sold and estimate
either the sales volume or the per-
centage of total volume repre-
sented by each line.
How many proprietors or part
ners generally devoted major por-
ton of time to the business? How
many family members worked for
business but we're not paid wage
or salary?
What was the total payroll in
1948? How many employees were
on the payroll for the pay period
ended nearest November Is, both
full and part-time? Similar ques-
tions are asked about any depart
ments leased to concessionaires.
More detailed information is
sought in a similar series of forms,
tailored to apply to personal and
business service establishments,
theaters and other amusement
places, hotels and tourist courts,
automotive repair and services
and power laundries and affiliated
cleaning and dyeing establish
ments.
For example. the power laundry
quiz runs to three pages. In the
1889 census it was found that
power laundries constituted about
one-fourth the total receipts of
all District service establishments.

Their feeling is that they can
ind more safety in the latter,
and there is some reason to be-
lleve-although the matter is
still purely speculative - that
the Swodes themselves may
swing around to the same view
within the next six months
or so.
Peace Is Prime Point
Of course. the three coun-
tries want nothing but peace.
To suppose that any one Of
them is tempted to commit an
aggressive act, or be party to
such an act. is to do violence
to common sense. But they
find themselves occupying a
highly hazardous position in
the cold war between East and
West. and their security in
terests demand that they do
something about it. So Norway
and >genIiark though not yet
committed, have turned, to the +,
Atlantic, pact. and Sweden
fearful that the Russians may
move in on the Firms if it does
the same-is remaining aloof,
at least for the time being,
though not many SWedes be-
lieve that their traditional neu-
trality will work again should
there be another world conflict.
Actually, despite the cold war
and the pulling and hauling
over the Atlantic pact, the big
hope in Scandinavia is that
there will be no armed conflict.
There is even a measure OF
optimism on that score. Cen
orally speaking. the Danes, the
Norwegians and the SWedes,
though they take a serious view
of the situation, seem less
alarmed than many Americans.
Although they are only minutes
away by air from the Soviet
Union, they have a strong feel
ing-which they admit may be
Wishful-that the Kremlin, far
from spelling for a fight, is
extremely anxious to avoid one.
Why, then, is Soviet policy
so belligerent? According to
many well-informed Scandi-
navians, the Kremlin's pug
nacity, which probably will
continue, is not sign of readi-
ness for war. On the con-
trary. they say. the Russians
want to have peace as long as
possible. but they are seeking
at the same time to keep it as
disordered, as disturbed and as

discloses about the decentraliza-
ton of stores and shops-hoW
overcrowded cities have moved to
the suburbs and long-established
concerns have followed close be-
hind with elaborate branch stores.
Something of this trend, note
worthy during the past decade,
will be evident in comparing the
new census figure with those OF
1899.
For the potential businessman
the census offers another kind OF
guide. A man wishing to estab-
lish a retail store in community
may learn whether the field is
evercrowded and how many other
stores in the same general area
carry the same merchandise line
he is interested in, and an idea OF
what their sales volume is.
See the Head Man
Another merchant who wishes
to add a new line to his business
may study the sales volume of
similar concerns in the commu-
nifty and determine if he is on a
profitable tack. BY consulting the
population census he also may
learn how many potential GUS
toners live in the vicinity.
The merchant who feels his
business would be more profitable
has access to averages in his trade
to compare with his own operat-
ing ratios such as inventory turn
over, credit sales per total sales,
employees per sale and payroll per
sale.
When the enumerators take to
the road tomorrow they'll have in
structions to see the head man"

minutes he will be asked to give,

business cheaply.

Second, the Census Act precribes
full and accurate answers. The
alternative is a possible fine.
Eighty per cent or so Of the
concerns to be contacted here

Indeed. Denmark, with its

with little more than 100000,

Only Sweden. with a population

Question of Defense
But Sweden's strength, even
though formidable in relation
to its population, is hardly large
enough to be effective in any,
thing but defensive action
within the country itself. In
case the massive forces of the
Soviet Union attacked, the
Swedes would almost certainly
be so engaged in fighting for
their own lives that they would
find it practically impossible to
rush military aid to either the
Danes or Norwegians. That is
one of the big reasons why Nor
