DR.. Carlson said, lis naming the
library in memory of Count Folke
Bernadotte in recognition of the
contribution he made to world
peace, as president of the Swedish
Red Cross during the war, and as
the United Nations mediator in
Palestine in 194S." Count Berna-
dotte was named mediator on May
20 194S, and was assassinated on
September II, 1913, while per-
forming his services for the United
Nations.
"Bernadotte," said DR.. Carlson,
was the embodiment of the
healing and constructive forces
which must become dominant in
international relations if the world
is to be spared the suffering and
destruction of another global con-
flict. The memorial on the cam
pus of Gustavus Adolphus will be

ia, who has been in Stockholm
for some time comforting about
this matter. Permission has been
granted by Crown Prince GUSTAV
Adolf and Countess Estelle Ber-
nadotte. widow of County Folke,
for the establishment of such a
Foundation. AS first step, the
recently completed library at Gus
tavus Adolphus College, by action
of its Board, will be designated
the Eolke Bernadotte Memorial
Library. The Crown Prince looks
favorably and with interest on the
project and has promised to be-
come in due course its high patron.
The Library, DR.. Carlson said, will
be dedicated on Commencement
Day, June A, 1850. Representa-
tives of the United Nations will
participate in the dedicatory SER
vices, and Countess Bernadotte
and her two sons, Folke, Jr., and
Bertil, hope to be in st. Peter for
the dedication.

suit was an impudent answer.

ought to be tripled because the
Swedes intervene" was the Ger
man answer. The Germans stated
that the conditions in Norway
were a German-NorWegian matter
and of no concern to Sweden. The
Swedish Government pointed out,
however, that the German treat
ment of Norway was creating in
Sweden a growing feeling of hos
tility toward Germany and that
the consequences of this public
opinion might have a bearing on
the relationship between Sweden
and Germany. 1t also asserted that
the development in the Nordic
countries could not be viewed with
out concern by the Swedish Gov
eminent and the Swedish people.
The Swedish Minister in Berlin
in his endeavor to effect release
of the Norwegian students - even
went so far as to hint that the
Swedish Government might sever
diplomatic relations with Germany,
if the deplorable conditions in
Norway continued.
The Swedish efforts to help Nor
wegian prisoners in Germany led
ultimately to the magnificent as
sistance rendered during the last
stages of the war under the di-
rection of Count Folke Bernadotte.
