Swedish Exports
Must Be Boosted

Sweden must continue to try to
increase her exports but is. on the
other hand, compelled by the gen.
eral state of uncertainty in the
world to consider it's own needs,
said John Ericsson, Minister of
Commerce, at the recent annual
meeting of the Swedish Export As
ISOLATION. He recalled recent an
nual meeting of the Swedish Ex-
port Association. He recalled that
the 1850 export volume was twen-
ty-five per cent greater than the
year before, when Sweden for the
first time reached the prewar level.
Prices of Swedish export prod
ucts have begun to rise more than
the important prices, which will
reflect favorably on the foreign ex-
change situation, if the trend con-
tinues. Rolf Won Heidenstam, pres
ident of the Export Association,
said prices on export products Of
the mechanical industry, compris-
ing about 80 per cent of the total
exports, have risen by only 10 to
Is per cent, and that the price in
crease has already, to great ex-
tent, been cancelled out by higher
wages, increased coal prices, etc.
For that reason, revaluation of
the krona would be very precari-
Gus for the mechanical industry

Most of the 10000 Norwegian
Lapps live in the northernmost
province of Finnmark, where they
earn their livelihood as reindeer
herders, or fishermen-farmers Of
the two thousand Norwegian rein
deer herders, about 300 live in
Finnmark. The nomadic herders
have banded together in an asso-
citation which seeks to promote the
economic and social interests of
all Norwegian Lapps.
AS far back as the countrys
history can be traced, the Lapps

cal finds, dating from the 18th
Century BIC, show that already
then the Laps were living in
northern Norway, mostly as hunt

Error About Morse INDEPENDENCE

In their stories of the Norwegian May 18th festival in
Seattle recently Seattle newspapers said that this national
celebration of the homeland commentaries the day
way gained independence from Sweden That is not true
The May 18th festival pertains to the independence Nor
way gained from Denmark in 1914 when it got its own
constitution. The union which prevailed between Sweden
and Norway for years sought voluntarily by
Norway and dissolved peacefully in 1905 which
time Norway got king of its own.

in Iceland This is now being done under provisions of

time America has garrison in Iceland.
The Monitor notes that the Communist world is already
crying Occupation and that Pravda will be asking what
difference any is there between Russian soldiers in
Poland and Hungary and American troops in Iceland.
