Revolutionary Changes Are Noted
In Modern Norwegian Agriculture

Use of machines on small farms
has Increased tremendously since
the war, with 1900 cooperative
tractor stations now in operation.
Interest in opening new farming
areas has mounted with the avail
ability of new mechanical equip
ment, large quantities of which
have been imported during the
past four years. Imports next year
will probably concentrate on
lighter items such as separators,
milking machines, and one-horse
moving machines, which have
been in short supply. Local oper-
alton studies, farm accounting
classes, and a variety of other
courses have attracted many par
ticipants. A number of expert
mental farms set up since the war
are providing valuable data for
more rational use of Norway's
farm lands.

Sweden Believes DEGRADATION Will
Help Increase Exports To America

steels, certain tools and engineer
ing products have always had
steady market in the United
States and other hard currency
countries and as a result their
sales should not be affected by
the changed dollar rate. On the
other hand, numerous Swedish
products, inter ala implements
and tools, hardware, machinery
etc, are expected to have better
chances in North American mar
kets. Sales of furniture, decorat-
i've glassware, some food special
ties and other products may prove
easier even though Swedish ex-
porters are well aware of the fact
that adoption to American taste,
marketing methods ETC., is just
as decisive for success as are
prices. 1t is also of interest to note
from comments in the Swedish
press that exporters are advised
not to quote low dollar prices but
to keep in close touch with their
American representatives with re-
gard to actual price and market
conditions.
Finally it may De of interest
to record that Swedish trade
authorities hold out the hope of
easing certain licensing formalities
for imports as well as exports and
thus taking step towards freer
and perhaps more multilateral
trade. However, it is emphasized
in Swedish business circles that
devaluation alone does not solve
fundamental economic problems
and that firm and restraining
financial and economic policies
must be continually pursued in
order to restore equilibrium.

The beginnings of an interesting
shift in Norway's agriculture have
become increasingly apparent in
recent months, according to Sig
valid Guldbrandsen, Norwegian As
sistant Secretary of Agriculture.
A number of large farms are GO
ing over to mechanical produc-
tion of grain and potatoes. while
cutting down their herds. Small
farms, it appears, are taking over
the dairy cattle and stock. Though
most of the latter are concentrat-
ing on dairy cattle, the trend to-
ward specialization is also appar-
ent here, with new truck and ber-
ny farms being launched in many
districts. Increasing numbers of
young farmers are receiving spe-
cial training at agricultural
schools and the farm information
service is pushing the adoption of
new methods

In 1887 the Washington State
Legislature passed law known
as the HOst-Guest Statue which is
now in effect. Under the terms of
this law the owner or operator of
an automobile Is not liable in
damages to any guest riding with
him for any accident which may
occur.
Originally, this law was passed
to eliminate the collision that had
grown up between an automobile
owner and his guests. Prior to the
enactment of the host-guest law
courts found that owners of auto
mobiles went out of their way to
admit negligence in their driving
in order to have their guests col
lect damages against the automo-
bile owners insurance company.
Under the host-guest law neither
the automobile owner nor the OPP
orator nor the insurance company
is liable to the guest.
Lie COuIlS III Tie StdIe OF
Washington have carried the host
guest rule to ultimate ends in Or
der to carry out the purposes of
the law. They have denied liability
where the driver was drunk, where
the guest" asks to be taken in
one direction and instead is TAX
en- in another, and where the guest
protests the manner in which the
car is driven.
The exceptions to the host-guest
law are very few indeed. T e
courts require four positive condi-
tons before liability will follow
There must be a contract between
the driver or owner and the
guest to go on the trip, there
must be common purpose, there
must be a community of interest,
and there must be an equal right
to a voice accompanied by an
equal right of control. This doc
trine was first laid down in the
celebrated case of Carbonneu v.
Peterson and it has been followed
ever since.

The krOna devaluatiOn has on
the whole been hailed with salts
faction in Swedish export quarters
although business and official
circles were somewhat taken
aback by the drastic extent of the
sterling depreciation, states the
Swedish paper Sverige-Nytt in its
latest number.
Importers are obviously wor-
ried as to it's possible repercussion
on trade, especially with hard
currency areas. Moreover. a great
deal of uncertainty exists regard
ing its effect on the domestic
price level. Nevertheless, the Gov
eminent and the Riksban k
authorities maintain an optimist-
ic attitude concerning the pos
sibilities of keeping down living
costs, partly by subsidizing certain
essential imports.
While it is stressed that con-
tinued rationalization-largely by
means of dollar-bought capital
goods-and per capita production
increases are urgent prerequisites
for increased Swedish competitive
power in international markets, all
branches of Swedish export in
dustry, including shipping. ap-
parently regard the new dollar
rate ISL equal Kr. SIS against
$50 before) as substantially fav-
oring exports to the United States
and other hard currency areas.
Trade with other countries is also
expected to be favoured to a
certain extent by the new situa-
ton.
Competition from U. S. mills
Obviously, with Swedens dol
lar holdings still relatively small,
this country is vitality interested
in larger exports to the United
States, the more so as sales of
pulp and paper-foremost Swedish
export items to the Western Hem
isphere-for some time past have
proceeded on very limited scale
owing to the keen competition by
American and Canadian mills.
However, shortly before devalua-
ton, dollar prices in Swedish pulp
and paper had been adjusted to
the United States level and any
further lowering is scarcely an
ticipated in the present situation.
Judging from recent New York
reports, the opinion prevails that
the United States will resume in
full its customary role as purch-
aser of Swedish forestry products.
In this connection reference is
made to the continued heavily in
creased per capita consumption of
paper in the United States.
A large number of standard
Swedish products, such as special

Springfield Stands
Firm on Broadcastinq
BY the Associated Press

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, April 27.
Organized baseball was faced
with a challenge today over its
50-mile radius code governing
broadcasting and telecasting.
The challenge was tossed into
the laps of the baseball moguls
by Radio Station WTXL of West
Springfield, which plans to con-
tinue to broadcast major league
games despite the rule.
James S. Bulkley, attorney for
the station, said he had advised
President Lawrence A. Reilly to
continue broadcasts of Boston
games even if the Springfield Cubs
Of the International League are
playing at the same time.
The baseball code, revised after
a two-year investigation by the
Department of Justice only six
months ago. provides that no sta
tion within so miles of a park
in organized baseball may broad
cast or televise a foreign" game
while a contest is in progress in
the park.
The rule does not apply, how
ever, If a game is not scheduled
in the park. Any and all sta
tions may broadcast games then
Bulkley said that for the time
being the station was taking g
wait-and-see attitude.
The next game which would be
affected by the rule is May 2
when WTXL is scheduled tt
