Sweden is prepared to defend
her freedom-and Western civil
ization-with what now is the
strongest military establishment
on the continent of Europe.
This assurance was given in Sc
attic recently by Erik Bohemian,
Swedish ambassador to the United
States. The veteran diplomat (31
years. and wartime head of the
Swedish foreign office was making
his first visit to Seattle on a get
acquainted swing around the ma
ton.
Il am convinced that the At
lantic Pact will do much to
strengthen confidence in the future
in large parts of Western Eu-
rope" Bohemian said as he eX-
planned why Sweden has not Join
ed in the past.
Sweden was ready TO abandon
its traditional aloofness and enter
watertight military defense al
lance with Norway and Denmark.
he said. But Norway preferred en-
tering the Atlantic Pact because
Norway needed to replenish its
arms as speedily as possible.
I'VE did not feel justified in
making definite commitments out
side the Scandinavian countries. ="
the diplomat continued. Our geo
graphic position Is delicate and we
have found it advisa BILE to retain
a certain liberty of action.
Should we join a definite mil
itary alliance, however peaceful in
aims, it was felt in Sweden that
countermeasures from the Russian
side might be taken in Finland
This would have benefited nobody
but would have radically altered
our strategical situation and per
haps made us a burden for the
Western world"
Bohemian said Sweden has not
demobilized its defenses, and at
present can mobilize and equip
100000 men for its army, navy
and air force. This would include
at least - first-class divisions of
troops.

Norway's Fishermen Beat Storm

Fishermen defying the worst
weather to harass Norway's west
coast in recent times have brought
in a catch of some 16,5OO,O0 BUSH
els of winter herring despite heavy
losses of life, vessels, and equip
ment. First-hand value of the
catch is set at $18,0O0,O 900.
During the first weeks Of the
season when rough weather did
threaten to turn this vital source
of income into an economic catas-
trophy there were few who dared
believe that fishermen could sue
coed in netting the second largest
herring catch in Norway's history.
That they managed to do SO is due
in part to new motorized vessels,
and technical aids such as echo
saunders, but the bulk of the cred
it goes to men themselves who re-
fused to be baked by the elements.
A quarter of the total catch has
been exported fresh, another quar-
ter sailed, and the remainder is

New Uses For Spitzbergen Coal

Better utilization of Norways
domestic coal resources on the is
land of Spitzbergen is forecast
in a recent press account describ-
ing a new electric briqueting sys-
tenn. The new process is said to
climax years of research in which
the Norwegian State and the ell
ectro-chemical firm Norsk Hydro
cooperated in an effort to over
come basic problems inherent in
this particular coal type.
Conservative estimates pla c e
total Spitzberben coal resources
in excess of eight billion tons.
Top production this year may
bring output up to 100000 tons
a figure which can be increased
in view of Norway's present l.
100000 ton yearly coal needs, ev-

en- under careful rationing. Using
present processes, however, it is
doubtful whether this product
could meet Norway's needs for
coking coal, and it's competitive
value as a fuel is seriously hamp-
cred by a basic defect. Tempera-
ture in the Spitzbergen mines is
below freezing, with the result
that the coal is frozen. Upon ig-
milton the coal disintegrates with
high dust and ash content, the
latter having a very low melting
point.
Under the new process, the coal
would be crushed into powder and
pressed into briquets. Quality high
temperature coke may then be
produced with a range of result
ing by-products to be obtained
from the tars and gases. The
article concludes by suggesting
the possibilities of establishing a
large-scale coal processing plant
capable of meeting Norways
needs for coke, tars, a variety of
chemicals, and motor fuels.
From 100000 tons of coal, it
is suggested, the following pro-
ducts may be obtained: 100000
tons of low-ash briquets, 10000
tons of low-temperature tar, and
100000 liters of gasoline plus
diesel oil. For production on this
scale some 100000 year-kilowatts
of electricity will be required.

GUATEMALA:

A military revolt in Guatemala

Calm spread over the capital after
"a hours of fighting that followed
the assassination of Col. Francisco

FORT GUARDIA DE HONOR,

by loyal troops and civilian vol
unteers. All fighting ceased.
Forty persons were reported
killed, according to the police d.
rector. No United States citizens
were among the casualties.
Observers said the colonel was
killed because he refused to lead
an uprising against the govern
ment, and then his death was used
as an excuse to attack the govern
ment.
Among those fighting were many
who belonged to a political party
backing Arana for president. All

BRANNAN PLAN:
oeoe TrinI

The house approved a measure
continuing the farm price-support
program in its present form. The
bill was slated to go to the senate.
The house vote was 1926.
The retention of the 80 per cent
of parity supports killed the Aiken
law, passed by the Republican
controlled 80th congress and which
was scheduled to go into effect
Jan. l.
The administration gained a par
tial victory in eliminating the
Aiken law but saw defeat in being
denied a test run Of the ~controver-
sial Brannan agricultural plan.
Under the Brannan plan, perish
able crops would be allowed to sell
at what the market would pay;
then the government would pay
the farmers the difference between
the support level and the average
price the farmers got.

plan, lost out, 222-152.

WARNINGS:
Pact Okoyed

Russia received a warning that
7 further aggression in Europe
will be considered an attack upon
the United States. The warning
came in the form of an S2-13 rati-
fication of the Atlantic pact by the
senate.
Il was the first time in American
history that a peacetime pledge
had been made that the United
States will take action military
action, if necessary if certain
other nations are attacked.
UNDER the north Atlantic treaty
this nation and IL other nations
pledge that an attack upon one will
be considered an attack upon all.
The pact also pledges that the IL
members of the treaty shall pre-
pare for mutual defense before the
need for military action actually
arises.
A small minority waged bitter
opposition to the pact during the
IS days of senate debate upon it.
Three Republicans, Wherry of Ne
braska, Taft of Ohio and Watkins
of Utah, tried to write a reserva-
ton into the treaty, specifying that
ratification did not impose upon
the United States the moral or
legal obligation to supply arms to
the other IL signers.
The heavy vote for ratification
and the impressive vote against
ARMS reservations were victories
for the senate bipartisan foreign
policy. Only two Democrats voted
