Migration From
Sweden ToU. S.
At Lowest Ebb

u. S. Immigrant quota for
Sweden for the current year of
3,314 hasn't been taken up by far
while Norway's 2.377 and Dem
marks 1,1S1 are over-subscribed
many times. The us. Consulate
in Stockholm is unable to state
the actual number of visa appli-
cants but the general opinion is
that the desire of the Swedes for
immigration to the United States
is now at its lowest ebb ever.

Institutes

Institutes
Applied research institutions are
usually Government-operated with
the idea that it is their function to
satisfy the needs of society. Other
kinds of institutions-jointly SUBJ
sidized by the Government and in
dustrial groups-exist in Sweden.
Examples of Government re-
search institutions are: figures
in thousands-stand for yearly
grants:
Aerodynamical Research Sta
ton, or. S39 ($233); Swedish Geo.
logical Survey, CT. 1,340 ($372.2);
Government Geo-Technical Insti-
tute, or. 5S2 ($161.D; Research In
stitute of National Defense, or.
1926 Isl 1920 Government Insti-
tute for Forest Research, or. 1,195
($331.9); Public Health Institute,
or. 1887 ($53S); Government Vet
Urinary Institute, or. 1914
($448.3) Government Testing Insti-
tute, cr 9S3 ($273.D; Government
Experimental Tank Ship Building
Laboratory, or. 293 ($S1.4); Gov
eminent Road Institute, CT. 481
($133.6). Except the tank ship
building laboratory (situated at
G0teborg) all institutions are
found at Stockholm.
Some research enterprises run
jointly by Government and private
organizations are: Metallographic
Institute (Stockholm), Swedish
Institute for Textile Research
(G0teborg), Food Preservation Re-
search Institute (G0teborg), Swe-
dish Wood Research Institute
(Stockholm), Swedish Institute
for Cement and Concrete (Stock-
holm), and Home Research Insti-
tute (Stockholm).
Important though of a different
type is the Research Institute for
Experimental Physics in Stock
holm, established by the Academy
of Sciences.
Above mentioned research insti-
tutes are typical for carrying on
research to solve specific problems,
while the last-named institute con-
ducts comprehensive basic re-
search concerning atomic physics,
especially nuclear physics and ra-
diation. 1t naturally follows that
this institute plays a prominent
role in work on atomic energy.
| Companies
Many companies and industries
also carry on scientific and tech
nical research in their laboratories.
A majority of them are in steel
and engineering industries, such
as Avesta Jernverks ABB, Sandvi-
kens Jernverks ABB, Stora Koppar-
bergs Bergslags ABB, Uddeholms
ABB, Fagersta Bruks ABB, Boldi-

Denmark
The Social-Democratic Party


the Rigsdag. Largest among these
is that Of the Social-Democrats
occupying 81 seats in the Folket-
ing (Lower House, and 33 in the
Landsting. The Social-Democratic
Party represents first and fore
most the workers, employees and
civil servants that is, the wage
earning and the salaried classes
of the population, but large num-
Der of independent small trades
people have joined the party, which
likewise counts many adherents
among the rural population, par
ticularly Stockholders and small
farmers. The program of the So
cial-Den0 ocratic Party tries, on a
clear. democratic basis, to create
a higher living standard for the
people as while by means of an
economic policy. the principal pur-
poses Of which are full employment
for all workers, an even distribu-
button Of incomes to be obtained,
among other ways, by taxation; an
agrarian policy aiming to have ru-
raj property divided up into small
INDEPENDENT holdings, and to en-
sure the marketing of agricultural
products by regulating production.
To a certain extent, it is also de-
sired to have existing monopoly
enterprises nationaliZed.
In the matter of social policy,
the party adheres to the principle
of "self-help", practised by means
of a combination of social reliefs
and a very extensive public insur-
ance scheme. This, to large ex-
tent. has already been realized. In
foreign policy the party supports
international cooperation through
the L. N. and cooperation between
the Scandinavian countries, and
the party took the initiative in
Denmark's joining the North At
lantic Pact. In the question of
national defense, it has changed its
former traditional standpoint, hav-
ing assumed a clear attitude in
favor OF strengthening the military
establishments of the country and
its connections with the Western
Powers, without, however, in any
way desiring a breach or avoid
ance Of collaboration with Eastern
Europe.
The Liberal (RadicaD Party
This party has its followers
mainly among the liberal and pro-
gressive sections, who while wish
ing to benefit the masses as much
as possible, do not think that this
should be attained by socialist
methods This party has its main
following among the urban middle
class and small farmers. For a
number Of years it has cooperated
closely with the Social-Democrats
in matters OF social policy in way
which has brought about the pres
ent highly developed state of the
social Institutions of Denmark: it
has also practised an agrarian pol
icy benefiting the small farmers,
and by legislative measures pro-
cured such improvements in favor
of workers and employees as might
serve to mitigate class antagon-
isms as much as possible. The
party is opposed to any form of
naturalization with the exception
of public utilities etc In foreign
policy the party favors a policy of
neutrality and a full measure of
support 10 international cooper
alton through the u. N. but is
opposed 10 the North Atlantic

Norway
Foreign Trade

Foreign Trade
Owing to the structure of the
country's economic life, Norway
has always carried on a consider
able foreign trade. The foreign
trade per inhabitant is greater
than in most other countries.
The principal import groups are
grain, raw materials, textile and
clothing articles, iron and steel,
ships, machinery, oil and fuel.
In the years before the war
about 1920 of the Norwegian i'm
port consisted of consumers goods,
while production goods amounted
to 68w; 1870 ships, 1870 machin-
cry and requisites and 459o raw
materials or alf-fabricates and
fuel. Owing to the need for re-
construction, the structure of the
import has changed considerably
after the war, consumers goods
now accounting for about 14-1796
of the total import value, while
the import of ships alone accounts
for 2O%c.
Before 1910 about 20f6 of the
total import came from Germany
consisting chiefly of coal, iron and
steel, machinery, chemicals and
clothing articles. The other prin-
cipal import countries were Great
Britain: ships, machinery, textile
articles and clothing. Sweden:
ships and machinery-and U.S.A.
grain and oils.
After the war the import from
Germany has almost vanished. The
principal sources of import in the
last years have been U.S.A.: grain
fuel and fuel oils, ships land ma.
chinery, iron and steel, chemicals
and textile articles, Great Brit
ain, Belgium and Sweden.
The chief export groups are fish
and fish products, wood-pulp and
paper, refined whale oil, electro.
chemical and metallurgical pro.
ducts and iron and copper ore. Be-
fore 1910 wood-pulp and paper &C.
counted for about 2O%e Of the tota
export value, while fish and fish.
products accounted for 1870, ant
metals and ores for 1870. After
the war the Importance of fish
products and oils have increased
! yurh a dnV hi n
crease in the export of metals anG
minerals.
In 1947 Norway's largest GUS
toner for fresh fish was Great
Britain. Dried fish was mainly ex-
ported to Italy. Portugal, Spain
and South-American countries
sailed herring to Poland. U.S.S.R
and Germany. and canned fish and
herring mainly to Great Britain
U.S.A. and Australia. Of paper
pulp the largest quantities were
sent to Great Britain and the 9TH
er West-European countries, while
paper for the making of newspa-
pers chiefly was exported to Den
mark, U.S.A., South America and
other overseas countries.
The foreign trade of Norway to-
day is subject to many restrictions
Import as well as exports must he
licensed by official authorities.

quirements for this payment are
that if over so per cent of the
area within the fire breaks burn
over during the 1850 program
year, payment for the firebreaks
will not be made. The woodland
must be blocked in areas of 40
acres or less and protected either
by such barriers as farm or
county roads, streams, cultivated
fields or the constructed fire
breaks. 1t is recommended that
where practical, firebreaks should
be constructed on the level of
the land or on the ridges to pre-
vent erosion.
Mr.. Farmer, would you flat
break land for $2l.78 per acre?
That is what our government
through the local PIMA office will
pay you on the basis of a fire
break ten feet wide and 100 feet
long.

HEV. w. s. CAMERON GUEST
SPEAKER AT CHURCH

The people Of Pickens were
! fortunate Sunday in having as
| the guest speaker at the Metho-
dist Church, Rev. w. S. Cameron
of Jackson. Rev. Cameron spoke
on the general theme THE eff
| feet of Alcohol on the Human
Body" He pointed out many
half truths which have persisted
about alcoholic beverages. He
further showed where alcohol is
not a stimulant, as so often be-
lieved, but an anesthetic, pointing
out how closely akin alcohol is
to ether and formaldehyde. BY
both lecture. and diagram the au-
dience were shown how alcohol
circulates through the human
body via the blood stream and
how the senses we're gradually
deadened, as the alcohol content
of the blood increased.
Rev. Cameron appealed to the
group to use what influence each
individual had to keep drivers
who were drinking off u high
way He pointed out the need OF
our state adapting the use OF a
machine which would indicate
the per cent of alcohol concentra-
ton in the blood stream, thus
making it possible to prove II
and how much a driver had been
drinking. It was not necessary
to show u high fatality rate on
the highways.
A large crowd heard Rev. Cam
eron each of the three times he
spoke.

Tree And Timber Talk
by c. w. Comfort

The woodland on your farm is
very important to the prosperity
and security of our nation. 1t is
so important that our govern
ment through the Production
Marketing Administration has
made it possible for any indivi-
dual farm to earn up to $4,000
for carrying out certain forestry
practices according to perform
ance requirements of the PIMA.
This money is available over and
above the regular conservation
payments figured on the basis of
crop and pasture land. For in
stance, if your farm had 20 acres
of crop land and 80 acres of pas
ture land, your farm could earn
$4,000 by carrying out certain
conservation practices. Now how
ever, you may earn an extra
$500 over and above the $4,000
for carrying out certain forestry
practices such as planting trees,
woodland Improvement and con-
struction of fire breaks.
This is the season when
thoughtless people burn over the
woodland of others. Until an Or
ganized equity wide forest con-
troll organization can be set up
in Holmes county, farmers can
protect their woodlands to some
extent at government expense.
This is a golden opportunity for
the farmer to work for himself
and receive good wages for work
ing and making improvements to
his own property. En-
The payment for constructing
firebreaks is so cents per 100 feet.
There is how PIMA wants you to
construct these firebreaks. You
may do it in one of two different
ways: flat break a strip at least
ten feet wide and keep4it cleared
Of any trash that will burn, or
pillow two burrows at least 40
feet apart and burn between the
two plowed burrows. Other re-

'Keepsie Regatta
For Second Time
by the Assoeioted Press

ITHACA, N. Y, July 13.-Mari-
eta, Ohio. will be the scene of
the "Poughkeepsie Regatta" on
June Is, 1951-for a second
straight year.
This was decided yesterday by
the Board Of Stewards of the In
tercollegiate Rowing Association
after two-day meeting at Cor
nell University. The stewards con-
sidered invitations from six other
cities - Poughkeepsie. Syracuse,
Seattle, Tacoma. Chicago and &C.
neva. N. Y.
The stewards took no action re-
garding the site of the race after
next years renewal. which will be
the 49th annual regatta, known
as the World Series" of American
collegiate rowing.
Prior to this year Poughkeepsie
had the race all but two times.
1t was staged at Sarasota Lake,
N. Y, in 1898 and at Lake Cayuga,
N. Y, in 1920.
