Mr.. Thos. S. Falck, president Of
the Norwegian Shipowners' Asso-
citation, declared in recent adj
dress that relatively speaking,
the Norwegian merchant marine is
today in a less favorable position
than before the war"
Speaking before the Associa-
TONS annual meeting in Bergen,
Mr.. Falck noted with satisfaction
that Norwegian shipping now has
been rehabilitated after its war;

During the last 80 years, our
shipping has twice been faced
with the immense problem of re-
building the merchant fleet. In
both world wars some 500 of the
fleet was sunk and the surviving
ships were subjected to eXtraord-
mary strains"

November Report On Living Conditions In Denmark

caused by the fact that large
part of the raw material import
ed has to be bought in the dollar
area, while the Danish exports go
mainly to the sterling countries.
Denmark has to import from the
dollar area at rising prices while
the corresponding profit on the
export side has been lost.
Another important aspect Of
this price squeeze, now looming
large, is the possible effect on in
ternational price levels of the
worldwide rearmament program.
This must drive up the prices Of
metals, wood, textiles and oil, that
is to say the very goods which
Denmark must import. And ex-
perience has shown that rearma-
ment does not greatly affect the
price of foodstuffs which are Dem
marks chief export. From an &C.
onomic standpoint, therefore, no
country regrets more than Dem
mark that the world now prefers
guns rather than butter.
The result of all this is that DEN
mark is today struggling with a
very heavy foreign trade deficit
and the overriding task of Danish
policy-makers is to prevent that
deficit from growing.
AS a small country among the
great community of nations Dem
mark has no influence on the in
ternational state of markets. 1t
must tackle the problem in the
same way as a man adjusts his
family budget when he sees his
income. fall: consumption must oe
limited. All political parties in
Denmark are agreed on this point,
but there is disagreement about
how the burdens shall be shared
among the different sections of the
community. AS we go to press the
political parties are still discussing
this matter.
A lowering of the standard Of
living in Denmark is unavoidable
but the general opinion is that 1T
will be only temporary. Denmark
has, before now, overcome great
economic difficulties caused by
changes in international trading
conditions. 1t has been done by
honoring the demand for first
rate quality and craftsmanship
which has always been the hall
mark of Danish produce, anu
which is essential if Denmark is to
retain its position in the interna-
tional markets.

construction of the Norwegian
merchant marine after World War
II has been financed solely by pri-

from connections abroad
Position Less Favorable
I'm judging the actual recon-
struction of the fleet" Mr.. Falc<
continued, "it should be borne in
mind that we have barely reached
the point where we stood 10 years
ago. At that time, Norway's mer-
chant fleet constituted 7&o of the
total world tonnage, as it did 70
years ago, when Norway held third
place among the worlds shipping
nations. Since 1910, Norway has
been outdistanced by some of the
other principal shipping nations
which have acquired, not only
greater tonnage, but also more
modern fleets than they had before
the war. Thus, relatively speak

mage as compared with the posi-
ton before the war;"
Mr.. Falck noted that by far the
greater part of new vessels, both
delivered and undelivered, consists
of tankers.
Mr.. Falck strongly emphasized
that Norwegian shipping never
has asked for and never has re-
ceived Government subsidies or
aid in any shape or form = a pol
icy which he said will be contin-
ued in the future. I'm fact he
added, "it is an unconditional re-
ouirement for Norwegian shipping
that it be based solely on its own
resources. Today. as before, far
from receiving aid, the Norwe-
gian shipping industry is contrib
uting heavily through taxes to the
national economy, and is, at the
same time, the main regular source
of foreign exchange"

ton was to strengthen the COM
petitive power of the "devalued
countries" against the dollar area,
and while the expected price
changes have occurred, the devel-
opment, seen from the Danish
point of view, has given rise to
great difficulties. This was due to
Denmark's special trade structure.
The country has no metals, no
coal or oil, so that all production
is dependent upon raw materials
supplied from abroad. The Danes
must buy raw materials, and sell
farm products and the goods made
in their industries from the raw
materials that are imported. Ser

During the last few years inter-

have gone against Denmark. 1t
is a small country without raw
materials but it has, in proper
ton to it's population, very con-
siderable foreign trade. This trade
is gradually being squeezed by
price changes: the cost of imports
has risen, and the prices of Dan
ish exports have remained static.
The explanation for this may be
found in two changes in trading
conditions. The first change was
brought about by the devaluation
of the pound sterling in Septem-
Der last year, which was followed
by a Danish devaluation on the

Wilmington l5-2

Vengeance for an early defeat
flared in a rash of hits and runs
aplenty as Tabor City trampled
visiting Wilmington aggrega-
ton before throng of around
400 or more baseball enthusiasts
at the local park last Thursday
night, 1872.
Burmey Stevens, a consistent
.standout, pitched and batted his
team to victory. All he did was
to toss a neat three hitter and
grab batting honors for the night
with four hits and six trips to
the plate. Stevens had a no.
hitter until the seventh when
Wilmington catcher, Billy Hardee
broke the ice with a sharp sin
gle to center field.
The locals scored the first Of
their Is TALES in the bottom half
Of the first when Bob Waddell
and Worth Barnhardt threw in
couple of one timers and Wad-
dell came home on single by
Burmey Stevens. Adding four
markers in the third and three
more in the fifth the Tabor lads
increased their lead to a COM
Portable margin Of eight runs.
The locals re-insured their ad-
vantage in the score by almost
doubling the count in the sixth
as they belted Wilmington pitch
ing for six base knocks and sew
en- runs. The barrage included a
couple of two-baggers by Burmey
Stevens and Worth Barnhardt.
Wilmington salvaged their only
two markers in the eighth on a
pass, a lusty triple, and G single,
thus climaXing the score for the
night.
Gaylord opened on the mound
for Wilmington, but was jerked
