Sweden's Prosperity, Social Progress
And New Internal Friction Are Noted
By Amy Bjork

a growing feeling that taxes are
being pushed too far and that gov
eminent has near absolute control
over individuals.
AS a result the industry and in
itiative which have characterized
the SWedes seems to be slowly
giving place to a new kind of in
ternal friction. 1t would appear
that as initiative is deadened, life
is reduced to a dull, minimum uni
formity.
Afraid OF Russians
But Swedes are concerned with
an even more frightening problem
their national security. They are
afraid Russia will put an end to
their 150-year peace record. Dur
ing the time was there, there was
a continuing roundup of Red spies.
East coast inhabitants got espec-
tally uneasy one afternoon when
Russian warships We're sighted off
the coast in the area of Sober
hamn.
Just what Sweden has in mind
in the east-west struggle is not
apparent. Most likely she hopes
to uphold tradition by keeping out
of it. But a great many people
there expressed the desire for Swe-
den to stand up and be counted
among the friends of the Western
Powers while she still has the
chance.

First Woman
Swedish Consul

Mrs. Alice M. Roberts, of Dali

history to be made a member of
the consular service of Sweden.
She is President of Swedish Mod

dish furniture and which recently

times from as many people turned
out to be quite true - Sweden is
some country. Though my three
months there gave me hardly
enough time to do everything, see
everything and experience every
thing, l did find time to cOrrelate
first hand many of the things l
had been told by my Swedish-born
parents.
The most obvious and most glor-
ious thing about Sweden is its nat
ural beauty. From top to bottom
the entire country is like an an
mated travel folder, with forests,
lakes, flowers and rock formations
in abundance. All this is enhanced
by the cleanliness and order which
is consistent all over the country.
The formal gardens at the Kings
summer home, Tullegarn, were 70
more beautiful than the squares of
farmland along the countryside.
Manners Most Impressing
What impressed me most the
first day in Sweden was the we'll
practiced oldworld system of man.
ners. Gentlemen bowed smartly
upon introduction, ladies curtsied
slightly, and small boys made the
business Of meeting people a near
gVmnaStic mane,lver
This formality follows in the
manner of dress. All weddings
and all funerals call for full dress
from top hat to tie and tails.
Yet this strict adherence to long
established mode seemed slightly
incOngruous at time = like the
time spotted a tall fellow in full
regalia peddling toward church on
a bicycle.
1t would be inaccurate, however,
to emphasize this difference in
dress, for, on the whole, Swedish
fashion is very much like ours,
though slightly more conservative.
Swedish-Americans who have new
er been back would be amazed at
the Stockholm windows which dis
play the latest in dress, cosmetics
and accessories.
Stream of Bicycles
Folks with means have filled the
streets in larger cities with Amer
lean cars. The number of automo-
biles is fast increasing, but it does
not appear that traffic accommo-
dations are keeping up. Streets
are narrow, roadsigns are made
quate in the outer reaches and
there are no speed limits. This
plus the bothersome stream of bi-
cycles and the left-hand driving
made Stockholm traffic seem a
shade more hazardous than mid
Manhattan in the rush hour.
More controversial and compli-
Gated than traffic, dress and man.
ners. however. is the wobbly posi-
ton Sweden holds in the interna-
tional arena. Politically, she is so.
cialistic. Economically, she has es-
capped poverty. Morally, she is suf-
fering from the same socialism
that she has established for her
material welfare.
Some Discomfort
Though her extensive welfare
program including free medicine
free schools and old-age compen-
sation for everyone, makes her APP
pear healthy and content, there is

S112 Weekly Granted
Mrs. UIine as He Sues.
For Florida Divorce

Mrs. Carolyn Uline, 72, wife of
the owner of Uline Arena, has
won $112 a week in separate
maintenance from her 75-year old
spouse.
At the same time, it was re-
vealed that Nigel (Mike) Uline
has filed a divorce suit in Florida.
according to his attorney. Fred
eric j. Ball.
The maintenance agreement
was reached in District Court be-
fore Judge Charles Mclaughlin.
Trial of the suit, in which Mrs.
Uline also had sought an injunc-
tion to keep her husband from
getting a divorce elsewhere, ended
four hours after it began yester-
day.
Attorney William Leahy. repre-
senting the wife, reached an
agreement with Mr.. Ball, which
was announced to the court after
a recess. The terms included
about $500 in back support pay
ments, as we'll as $4,000 for Mrs.
Uline's counsel and other fees.
Mrs. Uline agreed to drop the in
junction action.
The Ulines have been separated
for 20 years. Mrs. Uline. who lives
in Detroit, charged that her hus-
band deserted her when he came
to Washington to start his ice
business in 1880. They were mar
ried in 1895.
Explaining her needs, she told
the court: tits not what my
monthly expenses are. It's just
that I'm getting old. I need extra
money for a little luxury. I haven't
had a trip, other than to visit
relatives, in 35 years"
Mr.. Uline, who lives at the
Broadmoor, was described in his
wife's suit as a millionaire. He
charged his wife was guilty of
"cruel and inhuman" treatment
of him when he sold his ice busi-
ness in Cleveland in 1880. Also in
his written answer, he charged
Mrs. Uline refused to come to the
District with him. He did not

in his home, like the census taker.
More frequent opportunities to meet
with public officials personally, fol-
lowing the Portland example, are also
important. Convenience and COM
fort in voting is a factor. This in
cludes clean and conveniently locat-
ed voting places with courteous and
efficient staffs manning them as well
as the widespread use of sample bal
lots so that citizens are not subject
to last-minute confusion.
All of these measures would, l be-
lieve, result in an increase in voting
IN any community equaling in
short time that which followed the
Portland experiment.
Aside from the positive measures,
there are other hopeful signs, for
there is a hard core of Americans
who understand that the problems
of freedom and voting are insepara-
bly, connected and are willing to
accept the responsibility involved.

OF compulsion. We ought to put
more emphasis on voting as patri-
otic duty. This kind of drive would
be very effective within groups. For
example. right now the great labor
federations and the independent
unions are putting on big get-out-
the-vote drives. The same kind of
activity should take place in trade
associations, fraternal organizations,
women's clubs and civic organiza-
tions.
The Lesson Of Italy
A GOOD illustration of what can be
done by intensive campaigning of
this sort is the election in Italy of
1916, when 80 per cent of the eligi-
BILE voters turned out.
School and college education is
another important contributor to
increased voting though somewhat
longer range. The State of Wiscon-
sin, for example, has had Citizen
ship Training Law on the books
since 1899. This provides for an
annual adult-education program, at
the county level, in citizenship for
all persons when they attain their
majority and for naturalized aliens.
Finally there are the physical
arrangements. These include per-
manent registration. now the subject

that, so you can tell what that
means here.
Fighting Spirit is Needed
In the boxing game a fighting
spirit is needed to get ahead. Pro-
babdly the reason that sports writ
ers voter Jack Dempsey the fight
err of the Half century is because
of his instructive fighting heart.
He was willing to mix things up
and fight.
On the Oma-Saterfield boxing
card this principle was demonstrate
ed. Satterfield was to all purposes
down and through in the fifth
round of his bout, but he fought
back. He took his Touchdown not
as an indication to quit but as a
challenge to meet, and he met il.
In the previous fight Luther
Rawlings took a murderous right
from Gene Parker of Indianapolis
in the fourth round. Apparently
out on his feet he rode with his
opponents onslaught until he was
rested! The crowd had sensed a
kill and was ready to count Raw
lings out.
When Gene Parker paused a
second to survey his damage,
Rawlings caught him. Before the
round was over the referee had to
stop the fight. Rawlings won by a
TKO.
But the semi-windup told a diff
ferent story. That bout pitted an
other Chicago favorite, Johnny
Holman, against Cuban crowd
pleaser Omelio Agramonte. When
Holman stepped in the ring the
women sigher as they viewed his
body beautiful. Some jealousy
complained that his waistline ap-
peared to be smaller than their
own.

member. He said all he known is
that somebody pushed him into the
ring and he was hit again. He
said he does not know what
Satterfield hit him with.
Satterfield got him in the sixth
thus ending the Oma bubble and
putting him down into the also
ran class where he always has
belonged.
Judging by this fight Bob
should have a chance at both the
heavyweight and light heavy
weight championship. If one would
accept his assets only = two thun-
derous fists and a fighting heart
one, would call him the next
"champ." Unfortunately he still
has the liabilities hiatt have plagu-
ed him throughout his short fight
ing carees : vulnerability to op-
ponents' blows and lack Of too
much defensive ability.
His assets right now outweigh
his liabilities. Evidently It's pound
champion Joey Maxim thinks so.
He saw the fights. Before the
bout he announced he would take
onthe winner. After the fight he
says he is demanding a $4,000
guarantee to fight Satterfield.

terrified bout was hardly more than

is free to enter the rich lands of
that part of the British common
wealth where even the scum of
Europe is imported to fight Aus
tralia's color war. For, despite al
the h%ypocritical talk of "Free
worlders." Australia, South Africa
France, Belgium, Portugal, Spain
and Great Britain are engaged in
a color war and the United States
is aiding them.
The arms which the U. S. sent

same road because = as the Times
said in commenting upon the Brit
ish defeat by the japanese in
Malaga "The roots Of the Bri-
fish empire were not in the
people"
There, in a sentence, is the
reason why white is now the
wrong color in Asia and Indonesia.
And it is becoming apparent that
no white person is welcome in any
colored mans country; that with
out the help and confidence Of
colored workers., no European
power will be able to "accelerate
mobilization of the moral and
material strength of the free

local newspapers recently carried
this comment by Dean Acheson,
U. S. Secretary Of State, just be-
fore his coming to England:
Zone leaving Washington for
Europe, Dean Acheson, American
Secretary of state, said: What we
seek in London is to accelerate
the mobilization of the moral and
material strength Of the free
world'."
The same newspapers carried
stories Of demands for freedom
by Africans, Wet Minhese and
Malayans. Practically all the col
onial peoples r. demanding their
freedom from European rule. The
Europeans who refuse ~colonials
that freedom are those who met
Mr.. Acheson in conference to dis
cuss how to "Mobilize the materi-
al and moral strength Of the free
world"
France Appeals For Aid
In Wet Nam, there are 100000
French troops, mostly Senegalese
from Africa, and 5000 ex-Ger7
man prisoners of war fighting the
Wet Nam forces. The French are
hard-pressed and seem likely to
lose. France is appealing to the
United States for aid.
In Malaga, 100000 British troops
and police : among whom are
Gurkhas, Malays and Chinese aux
iliaries are fighting some 5000
natives who are described as 'ter-
rorists" or bandits. The British
are not ding so we'll, and it is
rumored British Minister OF. War
Strachey and Colonial Minister
Griffiths are in Malaga to dis
cuss the possibility of United
States and or Australian aid.
In Eritrea, next to Ethiopia,
British troops ARE engaged in
maintaining order. British troops
were also used in both East AMI
West Africa. Disorders in the
West Indies and British Honduras
entailed the use Of other British
forces.
The end of European occupation
of both Shanghai and Hong Kong
seems to be in sight andthere is
no doubt that Communist forces
are preparing to counter any at
tempt by Europeans (includins
Americansl to maintain their hold
on Asia or Southeast Asia.
In other words, if European
colonial powers seek to maintain
their empires, a clash with Com.
munist forces is inevitable.
