A Danish Anniversary

In the brotherhood of the worlds
democracies, Denmark is among
the smallest but also among the
Steadiest. There are few countries,
small or large, for which Ameri-
cans have friendlier feeling or a
deeper respect; and it is, accord
ingly, pleasant to salute the Dan
ish people on this the one-hun-
dredth anniversary of their Consti-
tuition. Born out of the political
unrest that swept Europe in the
late Forties, the Constitution set
Denmark on the road to democ-
racy; and under this Constitution
Denmark has indeed become, eco
nomically as well as politically, enc
of the most truly democratic ma
lions of the world
The Danes, homogeneous, alert,
intelligent, form a closely linked
community with a minimum of
class distinction and a maximum
of political consciousness. 1t is
partly to the fact that the social
gaps" in Denmark have over the
course of years become so narrow
that Prime Minister Hedtoft
ascribes failure of the Nazis to

Riis Is Honored
For Stun Work

Jacob A. Riis, the newspaper
man who not only reported facts
about slums, but did something
about it was the man of the week
in cities on both sides of the At
lantic, New York and Copenhagen.
He is revered and remembered
anew in Copenhagen and all Den
mark as a Dane who went to
America and made good. He is
being eulogized in New York and
the United States for the lasting
good and lasting inspiration which
came from his work at the turn
of the century in Graduating many
slums.
Although it was called ] a b
Riis week in New York, the
formalities actually took place on
the, evening of May 8, the Tooth
anniversary of Mr.. Riis' birth.
Jacob Riis often used to refer
to Theodore Roosevelt as his best
friend. The two had worked close
ly when Mr.. Riis was a reporter
in Mulberry Bend and Mr. Roose-
welt was police commissioner of
New York. At a dinner honofing
Mr.. Riis on the centennial of his
birth, Mr.. Roosevelt'S niece, Mrs
Franklin D. Roosevelt, was the
chief speaker.
Inspiring Example
Mrs. Roosevelt spoke of housing
and Stun clearance and what Mr.
Riis's life means in terms of to.
day, calling it an inspiring exam.
pie of how democracy helps
itself. The point of helping ones
self, she remarked, is vital to this
hour, both for individuals and fol
nations.
European countries, she said
are asking that question of the
United States today.
They are asking. How do you
Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1949-06-01

do things?' and How can we learn
to do things?' she said.
If the United States, Mrs.
Roosevelt said, will continue to
help Europeans learn how to do
things the American way I'VE
need not be afraid of commu-
nism."
Jacob Riis, she continued, could
teach Americans and Europeans
how the realize the strength in
herent in a democracy, something
Americans sometimes seem to for
get.
Leadership Noted
Mrs. Roosevelt spoke of Ameri-
cas- position of leadership in the
world, and of fear sometimes no.
ticeable within the United States.
I'm this leading democracy, it
is important that we succeed and
that we do not live in fear" she
said.
She observed that the United
States has many unsolved prob
lens and that I'VE should be able
to stand few visitors here who
have opinions different from ours
I am a little ashamed that we
are afraid of visitors"
Il know we have failures and
many things still to do" she said.
Il would rather acknowledge this,
and show our strength as we'll
and if we did this we would give
more hope to the democracies of
Europe than when we are swayed
by fear
Theme Emphasized
Other speakers, including Da-
nish Ambassador Henrik Kauff-
mann. emphasized this same
theme but applied it more speci-
fically to Jacob Riis' life work.
The Jacob Kiss Neighborhood
Settlement and the Citizens Hous-
ing and Planning Council of New
York, sponsors of the dinner, sent
congratulatory cables to the lord
mayor and City Council of Co.
penhagen.
Reciprocal cables were read to
the 200 or more Jacob Riis "alum-
MI" as they called themselves,
who gathered on the Starlight
Roof of the Waldorf Astoria to
honor the man who drove the
worst slums out of New York by
factual reporting, social photog-
raphy, and by writing a famous

split the Danish people during the
occupation. They are now recov-
ering slowly from the effects of
that occupation: agriculture (95
per cent of the farms are owned by
the operators) has still long way
to go, but industrial production
has surpassed pre-war levels. Not
the least important factor in Da-
nish recovery is ECA assistance.
And there are not many nations

more willingly lend helping hand.

Many Innovations
In New Swedish
Printing Press

STOCKHOLM large printing
press, approximately 100 feet long,
25 feet high in two stories and
weighing 200 tons, designed and
constructed by Swedish engineers,
has recently been put into service
at the Rotogravyr printing-works,
one of the major printing estab-
lishments in Stockholm, where it
is attracting the attention of tech
nical experts, owing to the many
new features it possesses.
Ten press frames, three auto
matte folders and four unreeling
fixtures permit the simultaneous
printing of three different news
papers, for instance, three 32-page
or two 64-page and one 32-page,
with possibilities for color print
ing in proportion thereto.
Each frame is equipped with
special drying cylinder of copper
electrically heated, its speed auto
matically adjustable while in oper-
alton, which is of great Importance
when the ink tends to come Off
The entire printing process can be
directed with push buttons from
three different switchboard desks,
on which lamp signals tell, for in
stance. the time for changing
reels. While in operation, the
presses are enclosed in curtains
which prevent the escape of the
highly volatile gases from the ink
into the press room. Special fans
draw off these gases and the dry
ing air into collecting tube lead
ing to a recovery plant, where
$4,000 of the solvents forming
part of the ink are recovered. The
value of ink components thus re-
covered may amount to as much
as kr. 5000 in the course of g
single large run.
The press cylinders are inserted
in the machine by special motor
trucks. The ink rollers, partially
sunk into the container, are
equipped with thin steel scrapers
of new design, which can be ad-
justed with extreme precision.
The manufacturers, ALB Hedemo-
ra Verkstader. Hedemora, have re-
ceived orders for two presses of
this type from foreign buyers, and
in view of the interest displayed
abroad in this improved design
further sales in foreign markets
are expected.
