BE Citizens Of
Scandinavia
SAYS GERHARDSEN

In radio address, the Swedish
Prime Minister, Tage Erlander,
said that in shaping their foreign
policies the Northern countries are
motivated by a fervent desire to
safeguard peace at the expense OF
liberty. A Scandinavian defense
union could not be achieved, but
important progress has been made
in other fields. From an economic
long range point of view, the ere
alton of a common market would
undoubtedly be a great advantage.
A coordination of the Northern
economies is natural conse-
Guence of our cooperation in the
field of social welfare, said Den
marks Prime Minister. Eriksen.-
Our goal said the Norwegian
Prime Minister Einar Gerhardsen,
must be to carry cooperation so
far that one day we will regard
ourselves not only as citizens of
Denmark. Finland, Iceland, Nor
way, or Sweden, but also, essent-
tally, as Scandinavian citizens. The
fact that the Northern countries
pursue different courses in their
international relations is due to de-
velopnients which in many ways,
have been beyond our control, and
all of us have the same goal.

single big lake.
1.-THE exaggeration was monu-
mental, but monumental exagger-
ations can sometimes contain a
germ of truth.
With little effort the picture
could be extended by saying that
Norway is a single snow-covered
mountain by a single bottomless
ford while Finland is a single
picturesque log cabin on a single
narrow isthmus and Iceland a
single geyser in an ocean. 1t
would thereby be established that
each of the northern lands pre-
sents landscapes that would be
hard to duplicate in the others"

|ceIandic, Danish, Norwegian And
Swedish Of Same Family Of Language

It is manifest for every resident
of the north who crosses the Dor
der to a neighboring country that
he can make himself understood
everywhere in his own language,
if here and there with effort. Ice
landic, Danish, Norwegian and
Swedish form the family of north
ern languages and the latter
three can be mutually understood
with considerable ease and with
out special studies.
A traveller to Finland has a
different experience Finnish be-
longs to the Finno-Ugric language
group and has little in common
with the Teutonic languages, but
this obstacle is partially compen-
stated by the fact that the coun-
try is bi-lingual, and part of the
population still has Swedish for
a mother tongue. The countries
internal similarities in regard to
Scandinavian American. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1945-1958, 1951-10-22

Some Differences

THE cultures of these countries
vary considerably in the same way.
Norway's public life has defiant,
battling, debate-filled tradition
which separates itself from Swe-
den's slightly bureaucratic, cere-
monious approach, from Den
marks quiet but biting satire,
from Finland's basic seriousness.
Iceland's public life is shaped by
the fact that the entire popula-
ton is no larger than that of a
middle-sized European city 1t
means much geographically wheth-
err one is located on the periphery
or in the middle of such a collec-
ton of neighbors. Sweden is in the
middle and is largest in popula-
ton, it seeks to follow a middle
of-the-road policy. Finland is fur
thest to the east, Iceland and Nor
way reach far out into the At
lantic, while Denmark represents
Scandinavia'S border on Germany.
THE Northern Countries actual
ly desire two things difficult to
achieve and difficult to reconcile.
For the first, they want people in
the rest of the world to regard
them as a unit; for the second,
they want the rest of the world
TO be able TO distinguish them.

NEW YORK - The most ambl-
tious attempt to achieve unity in
the north was the so-called Kali
mar Union of 1897, which was
contaminated at Kalmar, in south
east Sweden, and by the terms OF
which the Northern Countries for
the only provisions of the act of
union included pledges of peace
and of mutual aid in case one
country was attacked, as well as
guarantee of local legislative
autonomy. Despite its high aims,
however, the Kalmar Union pro-
duced neither mutual confidence
nor peace, and when it was form
ally dissolved in the early part of
the 10th century, it had long ago
lost all it's significance.
Modern northern cooperation,
which is based on the sovereignty
of the individual countries, has
been much more realistic. The
Northern Countries have lived at
peace with each other tor more
than century and during that
time they have worked out effect
i've means for cooperating in linn
tied, but important fields.
Identical or nearly identical leg
islation, adopted by the lawmak-
ing bodies of the various coun-
tries, separate covenants covering
specific fields tend to guarantee
the citizens of all five countries
the rights and responsibilities of.
each of them. A recent example IS
an agreement of 1949, under which
a citizen of Denmark, Finland,
Iceland, Norway. or Sweden is ell
igible for an old age pension in

''Umited States" Of Scandinavia
Cultural Groups
Work Together

The ideal of cooperation among
the Northern Countries is express
sed practically in a number of
ways. The Northern Cultural Com
mission, founded in 1916 on the
initiative of the Ministers of Ed
ucation of the five countries, work
to promote exchange in the fields
of education, theatre, art, litera-
ture, etc. OF great Importance is
the unofficial but intimate collab-
Grafton among groups of many
different kinds and among all pro-
fessions and trades. Conferences
and conventions among business
and financial groups, trade union
and political party congresses,
contacts among teachers, research
ers and scholars, and cooperation
among the adult education move
ments, among others, gradually
bring the Northern nations closer
together

popular culture are strikingly
great and range all the way from
prehistoric implements and GUS
toms to the huge popular move
ments, religious, theological, and
political, which flooded through
the whole northern area during
the nineteenth century, changed
the popular mentality and made
the people ready for the new, dy-
manic industrial society.
The church in the Northern
Countries is Lutheran, and it is
closely associated with the state.
It's inner life is characterized by
vital popular movements in a way
that forms great resemblances in
structure. The strength of the Ia
Dor movement in the northern
lands is probably not duplicated
elsewhere, and mutual cooperation
between workers and employers
has become an institution in all
of them"

Same Pension Benefits, Marriage,
Divorce, Adoption Laws Adopted

any of the other countries after
residence of five years, under eX-
actly the same terms as citizens of
the country in question. In the
field of family law, coordination
has been achieved between all the
five countries in regard to mar
riage, divorce, and adoption of
children. A permanent organiza-
ton with two delegates from each
country is officially entrusted with
the task of keeping up with legal
developments and making recon-
mendations for mutual action. In
vestigations currently under way
deal with rights to literary and
artistic works and photographs,
trademarks, and traffic laws.

Same Racial Origin

THE partially mutual history of
these five countries, which can be
traced back until it is lost in the
mist of prehistoric time is only
one aspect of their mutual racial
origins. Whatever the extent to
which the peoples have different
origins = and the Firms and the
Swedes are regarded as having
different ancestry - they began
to associate very early.
Through their kings, the North
ern Countries have at times gained
ascendancy over one another but
rever with permanent success.
Finland has belonged with Swe-
den; Iceland and Norway have
been counted as part of Denmark.
Sweden and Denmark have some
times been locked in such war
like tenacity that it was only with
great difficulty that the compat-
ants could be separated. One of
the true historic treasures of all
Scandinavia the Swedish island of
Gotland and its walled medieval
city of Visby, has actually been so
long in Danish possession and so
long in Swedish that the lines of
tradition are tangled in a bewild-
ering fashion.
