to assure the Scandinavian coun-

Blueprint for Alliance.
The Western nations have finally
decided that the best way to gain
security is to organize North At
lantic bloc, in which the United
States and Canada are expected to
participate. The blueprint for the
alliance has been under study for a
year by all the prospective members,
and it has reached the stage now
where tangible results can be ex-
pected.
Sweden, Norway and Denmark
are in full sympathy with the West
ern idea, but Sweden is worried lest
a decision on her part to join the
Alliance be interpreted by Moscow
as IAN unfriendly act. Sweden
managed to remain neutral in both
world wars and now nourishes the
hope that she will be able to pre-
serve neutrality If World War III
breaks out.

This Changing World
British Fleet Plans Maneuvers in Arctic;
Diplomatic Gesture to Norway Seen

military leaders are aware that this
will be extremely difficult, for
Sweden is practically on Russia's
border, since Finland could be made
an operations center for the Soviet
Union in quick order. The Stock
holm government thus is anxious
to avoid offending Moscow. The
Swedes, accordingly, were in favor
OF a Scandinavian bloc only if it
would remain neutral in the event
OF another war.
Norway, which had a sad expert
ence with neutrality in World War
II. is fully aware of what the prom
ises Of totalitarian governments
mean. Instead of following the
pattern adopted in 1899, which pre-
vented the Oslo government from
taking the most elementary mill
tary defense measures, Norway has
decided to throw in its lot with the
Western powers.
Pressure From Moscow.
Moscow in the past has used, and
still uses, heavy pressure on the
Norwegian government. The Soviet
ambassador in Oslo has bluntly
warned Norwegian officials of the
consequences of their country join
ing the Western democracies. Com
munists and fellow-traveling Nor
wegian groups are applying similar
pressure from within. In spite of
all this, the Norwegian government
has decided to join the North At
lantic pact.
NorWay's national defenses are
being improved and Oslo hopes that
after the United States Senate rati-
fles the North Atlantic agreement,
and Congress appropriates the sums
needed for rearmament of Western
Europe, Norway will receive an ade-
quate share of the money for the
common defense.
Meanwhile. however, in order to
offset the effect of Soviet threats
on Norwegian public opinion, the
British government has decided to
make a political gesture by holding
the Navys spring maneuvers in the
Arctic. These, in all probability,
will be held about the time the
North Atlantic pact is being signed
formally.

the stubborn Old Guardism of Md

in the battle of Omaha last week,

If they are justified, the admins
tration can count itself fortunate.
Democratic Senators up in so come
from such backgrounds as Con-
necticut (McMahon), Pennsylvania
Myers and New York (Wagner)
which President Truman did not
carry and where Republicans will
not oblige with the Old Guard as
opposition but will have strong

as is also up in Illinois where Dem
ocrats have hard going in off-years
normally. And there is also the
problem of California where in
cumbent Senator Downey may
choose to contest present Democra-
tic plans to replace him in the prim-
airy with Representative Helen Ga
hagan Douglas. A family fight
would not be the best curtain-raiser
on an election which may find
Governor Warren the Republican
Senatorial nominee.
Senator Brewster of Maine, chair
man Of the Senate Campaign Com
mittee, already has warned his party
that their best chance of regaining
Senate control lies in 1850. He
pointed out that the newcomers
swept in with the as tide will all
be up in 80 and need great help.
He naturally did not mention that
they are not very impressive
collection who would for the most
part be little missed here.
Anyway, Midwest 1850 battles will
be hard-fought. And their results
not only may have great effect on
the Senate, but may decisively af-
feet the family struggle for control
of the COP. If the Tafts and
Millikins cannot hold their own
their brand OF political thinking
must necessarily be discredited.

proposed alliance of Western powers
coupled with military supplies from
US, probably looks no nicer from
the other side of the Iron Curtain
than Russia's moves look to us or
this side. But her previous moves
have not stopped us. We don't have
to give up that or anything else to
sit down and talk.
1t might possibly be that our per-
sistance finally has had its effect
in high places in Russia, and now
they are willing to talk business.
We Lead From Strength.
1t Is said that you can't trust
Russia. That has been said over
and over so much that it gives
the impression at least that we
don't think we are clever enough
to sit down and negotiate, that we
really don't trust ourselves. That
can't be true. Constantly cited are
other conferences, Yalta and Pots
dam among them, in which it is
said glihly that we were badly
outsmarted. 1t is difficult now to
place ourselves back in situations
in the midst of war and make any
true judgment.
We have plenty of good diplo-
matte brains. And we lead from
strength, for we are the strongest
nation in the world today. We are
50 strong that We can afford to
make the simple gesture Of accept
ing the invitation for negotiations,
either at the highest level or lower,
whichever is most practical. In
fact we are so strong that we can
not afford to refuse. for the stake
is the peace Of the world.
1t is a matter of pride at least
to this newspaperman that the
way has been opened by news
papermen, for this latest interview
procured by Kingsbury Smith OF
international News Service follows
another similar one last year that
was secured by Eddy Gilmore of
the Associated Press, both of whom
are we'll known among Washington
newspaper correspondents.
Newspapers and press associa-
tions consider 1t quite a feat to in
terview someone like Josef Stain,
but these are more than news
paper feats in their significance.
They represent newspaper enter
prise in the best sense of public
service in that they truly symbolic
the desire of the people OF the whole
world for just and honorable
peace.

CHICAGO, Feb. 2.-The Midwest
Senatorial races of 1850 will re-
emphasize the status of this region
as the present bulwark of Repub-
lican conservatism.
OF IL Republican Senators who
come up for reelection then, eight
are Midwesterners, including Sena-
tor Taft. Another of the Republican
Big Three of the Senate, Senator
Millikin, is from Colorado which
falls roughly within the Midwest
orbit. Not all these nine are as con-
servative as Senators Taft and Milli-
kin but most of them are close to it
and none is left of center.
Midwest Democrats, heartened by
their surprise victories last Novem-
ber 2, are preparing for real chal-
lenge to the Republican incumbents
Allotted by labor, they already are
casting Sbout for social welfare
candidi,--ls to put into the field in a
Truman-style campaign.
See Caliber Candidates.
Their story is that if they can
get more candidates of the caliber OF
Paul Douglas of Illinois and Hubert
Humphrey Of Minnesota who have
just rolled triumphantly into the
Senate, they can beat Senators
Taft, Millikin, Capehart of Indiana
and Donnell Of Missouri, hands
down. They also pretend optimism
about a defeat for Senators Hicken-
looper of Iowa and Wiley of Wis
consin; they doubt much can be
accomplished with Kansas or the
Dakotas in an of year.
1t is true that off-year elec-
tions, except 1884 when the Roose-
velt tide was at the full, have not
been kind to Democrats. They lost
ground in them steadily from '38 on
and of course in 1916 they lost
control of Congress
Ordinarily they would concede
that so, which finds Republican

in the Midwest. would be a tough

He told company stockholders,
here for their annual meeting, that

year totaled $405,570, versus a
loss of $359,783 for the preceding
year. These profits are being used

Standard Products, manufacture
ers of automotive locks and the
worlds largest producer of auto
motive window channel, reported
sales of $13,3O2,367 during the

increase of $1,322,000 over the
preceding year, or IL per cent.
STANDARD Products has recent
ly purchased the American Swiss
Company of Toledo, which has
been making automotive locks for
80 years. Transfer of it's machi-
merry and tools, and integration of
it's business in our Reid Division
operations at Cleveland is now

"In the interest of greater sta
bility of sales volume and earn
ing power, we are steadily trying
to diversity our business, both

ton of our modernization program
will enable US to make better pro-
