The New Liberal America

1t is well known fact that the majority Of the Amer
press is conservative So conservative in fact that
it has been buckng the general tide of American public
opinion during the past 20 years.
1t is refreshing to note, however, that of it's
which point out weaknesses in the conservative attitude
and directly indirectly support certain liberal trends,
which seldom given official recognition by the press
in general at least not until after election has proven
their validity The the press doped and tried to fool
the people before the last presidential election is superb
illustration of Lncons statement that you fool part
Of the people part of the time but not all the people all
the time That election proved the press had lost touch
with the people 1t good deserving lesson lesson
in democracy.
We may be wrong but today believe marked change
is taking place the attitude of the conservative press
which is particularly gratifying to this writer who only
few weeks ago, in the opinion of Seattle lawyer,
"too revolutionary and ought to watch OUT
This change is particularly noticeable in the publications
put out by Henry Luce of the leading and most
influential personages in the fourth estate His Fortune
orng to educate businessmen how to look upon the
times and draw fruitful conclusions. 1t has liber
alZng influence reactonary elements of big business
His Life magazine is also showing keen interest in de-
velopments the domestic and international scene and
many of its editorial statements of today would have
seemed outright revolutionary in the publication only
year ago.

By Laura Haddock

Travellers to Scandinavia this
year who fail to include Finland
in their itinerary are overlooking
one Of the most attractive spots on
the northern corner of Europe.
Suomi (Finland) is attractive
not only because it has natural
beauties of lakes, mountains, riv-
ers, and historic landmarks dotted
about its broad countryside, but
because of it's people. Brought
practically to their knees by war
and the ensuing regulations to
Russia, the Firms are still unde-
featable, and Americans under
stand this kind of thing.
There is a bond of character be-
tween Americans and Films that
is felt the minute your feet step
upon the streets of Helsinki, the
capital.
Smart Shops
But this is just the background.
Admittedly, you can't spend. a va
cation just enjoying peoples
character. Finland offers you all
the other delights of tourism. Hell
sinki has smart shops and a rate
of exchange that permits the dol
lar to go far.
1t also has charming restaurants
where the most delicious and ex-
otto food is available at moderate

NORWAY Wants 'DisIovol' Americans

Believe it or not group of prominent Norwegian pro-
fessors have proposed to start university, where
"dsloya American professors may find refuge and teach
else give them jobs at Oslo University The proposal
taken seriously conceived in connection with the
troversy caused by University of California decree that
before April 80 of this year. else be fired Many teach
have declared they don't wish to sign it. The Norwegian
group reminds that u S. received many prominent
scientists and thinkers from Europe, including Einsein
because of political fanaacsm there and adds that
Europe have the profitable opportunity of har
boring good many refugee American scientists in
turn.
Remember, this sincere proposal comes from country
which has not yet and presumably will introduce
loyalty tests and whose communists nevertheless lost all
of their II seats in the Norwegian parliament in the last
election.

CONGRATULATIONS!

Congratulations to all you Norwegans who have work.
ed treessy and successfully for the realization of the
Norway Center project Thousands of Scandinavans will
tread upon the ground which was broken on the
Center site last Saturday Norway Center is destined to
become great Scandinavian meeting place in the North
west.
The nationalistc feeling which the last and the
occupation of Norway aroused in Norwegans in Seattle
undoubtedly of the factors that helped unite the
Norwegans in brotherly spirit, necessary for the
realization of the project 1t sounds awfuly rude terribly
rude, but will it really take war in Sweden to make
Swedes in Seattle get that brothery feeling necessary
for the realization of Swedish Center?
