alliance until the six northern
counties, now under British rule,
are included In an all-Ireland
parliament.
Aid Depends on Cooperation.
One factor believed to have in.
duenced Norway's decision to resist
Russian pressure against joining
the Atlantic pact, even though
Sweden apparently is not going
along, is that the United States has
made clear. that only those coun-
tries cooperating in defense ar
rangements can expect to receive
any military supplies from this
country.
The Norwegian assurance ito the
Russians that bases will not be
granted to foreign powers unless
attack is threatened was not re-
garded here as a gripping res
ervation. Washington experts could
see no reason why Norwegians
themselves could not maintain ade-
quate air and naval bases under
their own control, but available for
use by Allied powers in the event
Norway needed help.
State Department officials with
held any formal comment on the
Norwegian note. They took the posi-
ton that the Norwegians, confident
of Western power cooperation, were
working out this problem in their
own way. They were obviously
pleased that the Oslo government
would not permit Russian pressure
to divert its policies.
Note Delivered in Oslo.
The Norwegian reply, delivered by
Foreign Minister Halvard Lange to
the Russian Ambassador in Oslo
yesterday, said Norway had hoped
the United Nations would provide
the strength necessary to maintain
peace and security for the world,
but this had not materialized.
Concern for her security, the reply
said, had convinced Norway Of the
necessity to seek increased safety
through regional defensive co-opera-
ton.
Attempts to create q defensive al
lance Of the three Scandinavian
nations, Norway, Sweden and Dem
mark, failed, the note pointed out
Norway will make further studies
to establish under which forms and
conditions Norway possibly could
participate in regional security
system" she said.
The reply said the Norwegian gov
eminent felt a regional security pact
would be within the frame of the
u. N. Charter and would be aimed
at preventing aggression.
Norway said she and Russia for
ages always have been living in
peace as neighbor countries"
Common Frontier Cited.
The Russian note to Norway, in
quiring whether Norway would
grant bases to foreign powers, had
pointed to the fact that Russia and
Norway have a common frontier.
The Norwegian reply said she il
convinced the government of the
u. S. S. r. is well acquainted with
Norway's unbroken traditions in hel
work for peace and her will to re.
main in friendly relations to all
peace-loving nations"
Norwegian newspapers approved
the government reply to Moscow
commenting that it was a clear
concise, unequivocal answer"

Italy's "Black
Market Cigarettes
Cost Less
BY GEORGE BRIA

ROME - [P) - A little man
walks in carrying battered
suitcase. Inside are 10 cartons of
American cigarettes. You pay
$500 lire and take two.
See you next Monday" he
says. At the free rate of exchange
you have paid about So for two
cartons of cigarettes.
But you got bargain. For in
Italy, l949, it costs you more to
buy American cigarettes legally
than on the black market.
Reason: the cigarette business
in Italy is state monopoly--a
soak the-Smoker tax enterprise.
1t costs you $50 lire (about 60
cents) to buy package of
American cigarettes legally in a
tobacco shop. That maens Sc a
carton. Buy it black and you
save $3.50.
The black market operator
isn't losing anything He is sup
piled by smuggling rings who
dump loads of American ciga-
rettes in Italy's big and little
ports. Everybody is happy but
the Italian treasury.
The black market in-reverse is
thriving industry, It's a particu
larly good deal for the hotels.
The barmen buy them at the
going black market rate from
the operator, then turn around
and sell them to the customers at
more than they cost in the .tobac-
co stores, which have long sizes
tras and are closed at night.

Government officials say the
trend seems to be toward pop
ulation boost of about one million
every five years. The total pop
ulation of the United Kingdom
which takes in England, Wales,
Scotland and northern Ireland
is estimated to have been 50,033,-
600 as of June, 1948, the latest
figure available.
Officials say the population in
creased by over a million since
1914, by two million since 1889,
by six million since 1921, and by
about 40 millions-or over 800
per cent-since 1900.
Though the birth rate rose
sharply after l94l, many births
were postponed until after the
war. To them, the high rates of
the postwar years are largely
due. Until the war disturbance
has died away, it will be impos-
sible to form any opinion as to
the likely future trend of the
birth rate" an official statement
says.
1t also says migration is not a
major factor in the population
trend in the United Kingdom.

U.S.Woman, Charge
OF Czech Relief, Held
By Prague Police
By the A,soeiatsd Rrsss

PRAGUE, Czechoslovakia, April
1.-THE United States Embassy
revealed yesterday that Miss Vlasta
A. Vraz, the head of American
relief here since this nation was
liberated from the Germans in
ls45. is a prisoner of Czechoslovak
police.
Miss Vraz. an American citizen
whose home is in Berwyn, Ill, was
arrested Saturday. Interviewed in
prison by Carroll Parry, American
Consular officer, she said she un-
derstood she Is held for an inves-
tigation "in connection with al
legged activities Of a political
nature"
1t was also learned that at least
two American pastors have been
expelled from Czechoslovakia in
recent months and the American
head Of an orphanage in Moravia
Is under orders to quit the country.
The security police have ordered
that all visas for foreigners is
sued before April / must be re-
turned for re-examination. The
purpose was not announced.
DR.. Kenneth Miller. chairman
of the Board of American Relief
for CZechoslovakia, termed the
arrest of Miss Vraz astounding
and "a rather ungrateful sort of
procedure" He commented in
New York that Miss Vraz has been
the sole agent in distributing more
than $4,000,000 worth of relief
supplies, including food. medical
equipment and drugs. The charge
of political activity is baseless, he
said. adding: I'VE are solely a
relief organization and have en-
gagged in no political activity
whatever"
A representative of the Czecho-
slovak foreign Office and two
policemen watched while Miss
Vraz and Mr.. Parry talked in the
prison. Miss Vraz said she had
been treated well so far.
Office Being Closed.
For more than three years she
has superintended the distribution
of supplies. chiefly dried eggs and
milk. shipped here by Czechs and
Slovaks in the United States. Be-
cause of the improving food situa-
ton. however. the Prague Office
was being closed and Miss Vraz
planned to go home next month.
She told friends recently, she
hoped she might return here as
q correspondent. h
Born in Chicago, Miss Vraz was
described here as a daughter of
the late Enrique Vraz, explorer
historian.

was saying little, but statement
said "the Embassy will continue
to watch developments and take
steps as may seem appropriate"
