N0rdic Nations Celebrate Friendship
Wars Recalled

1.-THE years of war made us, ev-
en- more than those of peace, real
ize the affinity of spirit and Gull
ture between the Northern coun-
tries" c. V. Bramsnaes, former
governor of the Danish National
Bank, said at the Nordic day
meeting in Copenhagen City Hall.
Among the other speakers was
Professor Bertil Ohlin, leader of
Sweden's Liberal party, who en-
phasized that Scandinavian COOP
Grafton will have to be developed
step by step.
An interesting celebration Was
staged in Praesto, one of Den
marks oldest and smallest cities,
where a replica of the Swedish
sculptor AXel E b e. statue
"Snapphanen" was unveiled. The
original stands in the city of Has
sleholm, in Skane or Scania, Swe-
denis southernmost province,
which once belonged to Denmark.
In this part of Scania so-called
"Snapphanar", or guerillas, for
many years fought Swedish troops,
after Denmark had ceded the pro-
vince to Sweden in 1858. In an
address at the ceremony in Praes-
to, H. O. Hansen, Counsel at the
Danish Supreme Court, pointed out
that in 1858 the Scanians for the
last time fought under the Dan
ish flag. I'VE who remained
Danes want to thank them for this
fight. We understand that the
Scanians raised the memorial in
Hassleholm because they look back
with reverence upon our common
past. We know that three hund-
red years of living together have
forged new bonds between Scania
and the rest of Sweden, bonds
which during the last two centur-
les no one has thought of sever

10 Million People In Scandinavia,

cultural relations, they play a

than this figure indicates. In in

hold a position comparable to that

States, Great Britain and Ger

than the Northern countries as a
whole, and as importers these
ranked after Great Britain, Ger

Friendship Towns

The Prime Ministers of the five
states spoke on the radio, and the
various broadcasting companies
sent out direct reports from the
neighboring countries, as well as
special school programs. The near
ly five hundred local groups of the
Norden Association had arranged
meetings, and in many of these
representatives of So-called Friend
ship Towns in other Northern
countries participated. This move
ment was started by Norden after
the war, and it has met with great
success. In Sweden, for instance,
125 cities and other communities
now have Friendship Towns in the
other countries, with which they
exchange municipal councilmen,
teachers, police officers, and some
times entire school classes. The
schools observed the Day of the
North with ceremonies of their
own, and for the benefit of the
Norden Associations work among

Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway
And Sweden Observe DAY Of North

STOCKHOLM = (By airmaiD
A Day of the North was OBJ
served recently in all the Northern
countries Denmark, Finland,
Iceland, Norway, and Sweden.
Sponsored by the Norden Associa-
ton, the festivals everywhere were
marked by vital spirit of friend
ship and cooperation. In speeches
and press comments there was, at
the same time, a strong note of
elaboration and realism. The Day
CT the North is scheduled to be
celebrated every five years, out
this was the first observance since
1886, and thus the celebration it
self served as a reminder of the
war period with its bitter trials.

Finnish Appraisal

For those who aimed high and
far with regard to the most far
reaching consequences of North
ern cooperation, the disappoint-
ments and reverses have not been
few or SMALL" Karl-August Fa-
gerholm, Speaker of the Finnish
Riksdag, said at the celebration
in Helsinki. Some have, there
fore, become pessimists, but there
is no real reason for such an at
titude. In Finland, we have learnt
to appreciate the practical value
of Northern collaboration. Much
was said and written about a
Northern union. or federation, and
a defense alliance between Den
mark, Norway and Sweden was
seriously discussed. All these
long-range plans have now been
shelved, which from Finland's
viewpoint is fortunate, for our
country would not have been able
to take part in such forms of Nor
thern cooperation.

Swedish branch of the Norden AS
ISOLATION, Axel Chores, summed up
the aims of the festivities when he
said: To-day, all kinds of topics
relating to the North and North
ern cooperation have been unfold
ed and discussed at thousands of
meetings throughout the five
countries. This does not change
life in the North overnight, but it
will undoubtedly mean that inter-
est in Northern ideas and ideals
has received a fresh impetus and
become further strengthened, that
new bonds of friendship have been
tied, and that realization of the
value, yes, the greatness of the
Northern free community of ma
tons will become more active and
live in our minds
