his passport, now confiscated by
the U. S. State department.
Federal Judge Walter M. Bas-
tain dismissed suit by Robson in
which he demanded that the federal
government grant him a passport.
The noted singer filed suit
against the state department in
December after the department de-
MED him use of his passport last
summer, declaring that he was not
travelling ''in the best interests of
his country"
Judge Bastian said that the de-
partment was within it's "discre-
ton" in turning down the appl-
cation.
Robeson's troubles with his pass
port began after his 1949 trip to
Europe because of certain state
ments he made in foreign nations.
One of them that caused the most
controversy was on whether or not
Negroes would fight for the United
States in war against Russia.

Sweden's Exports
Exceed Pre-W.ur
Level one-1hird

Today Sweden exchanges goods
with other nations on a larger
scale than ever before. and her
exports are more diversified than
they have ever been.
The volume of exports has in
creased by 70 per cent since 1947,
and it tops the prewar level by
one-third. A considerable expan-
sion of the country's imports has
thus been made possible, and ac-
cording to present estimates the
imports volume this year will also
exceed the prewar figures by one
third. The low level of Swedish ex-
ports during the first postwar
years was due in part to the dis
locations resulting from the war,
and another important reason was
the decline in the supply of raw
materials for the forest industries.
Swedish industry now covers a
wider range than before the war,
and this enables the country to
distribute it's exports and imports
more extensively. Sweden's leading
trading partners. therefore, today
have smaller relative shares in her
foreign trade than during the
193Os.
In an address at the opening of
the St. Erik Industrial Fair in
Stockholm on August %, Cabinet
Minister Sven Anderson called at
tention to these facts and figures,
The fair is the largest, in northern
Europe, and this year, when it
is being held for the ninth time,
there are about two thousand ex-
hibitors, representing rs countries
besides Sweden.
