Alienation of Affection

Our Supreme Court on January
IS, 1850, handed down an impor-
tant decision with reference to
alienation of affections. The case
was Landlord VS.. Tombari, Cause
No. 31026.
The plaintiff in the case mar
ried his wife in 1888 and they had
two children They lived quite
happily together in Spokane until
1914 when the plaintiff entered
the Navy. His wife thereupon
became a clerk in pharmacy OPP
Grated by male friend who was
to become the defendant in the
case.
The wife began to write less and
less frequently to her husband in
the Navy and she began to spend
more and more time both at work
and after work with her new en-
ployer. A relationship arose be-
tween the wife and her employer
which was not very conducive to
the best interests of her marriage
ties with her husband.
Her employer took her home
several nights week as late as
800 a. m. and she permitted him
to come into her home at that
hour and permitted him to use the
family car The relationship was
such that it aroused gossip and
the usual rumors among her neigh
bors.
When the husband returned
from his service in the war they
again took up married life together
but he discovered that she was
not pleased by his return and be-
came indifferent towards him. The
wife continued to associate with
her old employer and this fact
soon was learned by the husband.
A divorce action followed in which
the husband secured custody OF
the children and he thereupon
sued his wifes employer charging
alienation of affections.
The Supreme Court pointed out
that the evidence that has here
inbefore been outlined was suffi-
cient to sustain a cause of action.
1t affirmed the verdict of the
lower court and gave judgment
to the husband against the phar-
macist in the amount of $4,000.

No |so|ationism In Sweden's
Foreign Policy, Says Minister

The main principles guiding
Sweden's foreign policy are the
same today as they have been
ever since the end of the Second
World War, Foreign Minister
Osten linden said in an address in
the Riksdag. X
"The allegation sometimes voiced
in Swedish public discussion that
Sweden pursues a policy of isola-
tionism in it's foreign polio y
today as there was during the
period between the two World
Wars"
.Swedens foreign policy is pri-
marily aimed at serving the coun-
try's interests in times of peace.
ut is not based on the assump-
ton that war is imminent. The
fear of a new world war cannot be
allowed to dominate our thoughts
to such a degree that we neglect
the interests that come to the fore
in peacetime. We do not want to
pursue foreign policy which
would contribute toward making
our corner of the world a center
of unrest and a point of friction
between the East and the West.
Sweden's policy is to make neu-
trality possible if, despite every
thing, universal conflict should
occur. We maintain national de-
Tense, which in proportion to our
resources is quite considerable and
the annual costs of which are
rapidly drawing close to the one
billion-kroner mark"
Last year Mr.. linden recalled,
Sweden was prepared to enter into
a defense alliance with Norway
and Denmark joined the Atlantic
Pact, while Sweden expressed its
Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1950-04-11

During the last four years
Harvesting of Norway's water
power has developed at a greater
pace than at any previous time.
In the past year no less than $685.
900 XIV. new generating plant ca
pacity were added to existing in
stallations, which at the present
time have total capacity of about
8 million XIV. Last years addition
was more than double the average
annual figure for the period 1916
1913.
The rate of development dur
ing the next few years most likely
can be maintained at 10000 XIV.
per year.
Rural Districts Benefit
In Norway power development
for industrial use goes hand in
hand with the creation of fresh
sources of supply for household
needs. Thus, the Harvesting of the
R0saaga, a vast development pro-
ject in Northern Norway which
is to furnish power for the new
Norwegian Iron and Steel Works
in Mo in Rama, will at the same
time supply electricity to $4,000
people in a rather isolated dis
trict, where electric power has
so far beer very limited
Similar benefits will be derived
from several other industrial pro-
jects. 1t is estimated that about
II per cent of the population at
present has no access to electricity
as compared with % per cent be-
fore the war. However, when the
power plants now under cOnstruc-
ton have been completed, it is
estimated that only ! per cent of
the population will be without
electricity.
Also Remote Areas Get Electricity
In some parts of Norway, par
ticularly in certain western and
northern coastal districts, the ter
rain is so difficult and the popula-
ton so thin and scattered that it
is almost prohibitive to provide
electricity. But in spite of such
difficulties great efforts are being
made to help where the need is
most badly felt. Thus, in Norway's
northernmost county, Finmark,
work is now in progress on four
