Morse Press Halls Gen. Eisenhower:
Europe Must Match j. S. Sacrifices

The actions taken at Brussels
are distressed by "Arbeiderbladet,"
main organ of the Norwegian La
Dor Party, who writes: There is
every reason to be pleased with the
appointment of General EisenhOW-
sr as Supreme Commander of the
North Atlantic defense forces, not
least because one must assume
that greater efforts will now be
made to increase EurOpe's defense
preparations, and to create a truly
unified or integrated European de-
tense fOrce.'
Must Match U. S. Sacrifices
1T is absolutely essential tina.
Europe now makes an earnest eff
fort to boost its defense prepara-
tions as fast as possible, and to
match the sacrifices made by the
United States"
The Labor paper continues:
There is no reason to hide the
fact that certain circles in the I'm
tied States advocate abandoning
Europe to its own fate, because,
in their view, Europe has failed to
demonstrate a real will to defend
itself. This view does not as yet
have many adherents, but they
may grow in number unless the
European countries make the same
proportionate contribution to the
defense effort as the United
States. And lest we forget it, with
out American support Europe will
mercilessly be the prey OF the mil
itary forces of Communism"
Guardian of Peace
The appointment of General Eli
senhower is also hailed by the Con-
sentative "Aftenposten," which
has the largest circulation of any
newspaper in Norway. "Aftenpost-
en-" writes editorially: I'VE have
no more ardent wish than to be al
lowed to live in peace. General Eli

The Swedes face 1851 in Il Sc
rious mood, with initiation and re-
armament topping the agenda in
Parliament.
The one bright spot is that the
country expects to follow Great
Britain this year, in dispensing
with Marshall aid. The Swedes
did not ask for assistance from
the Economic Cooperation Admin
istration, but they We're grateful
for it. They have received loans
totaling only $20,4O0,00O. ECA
aid made it possible, however, for
the Swedes to distribute about
SS5, 100000 worth of goods to 9TH
er member nations.
This year, they will have the
use of about S2O,OOO,OOO of Euro
pean Payment Union funds which,
as in Great Britain, will make fur
Their ECA loans unnecessary for
the time being.
Apart from this good news,
though, the Swedish economy, ac-
cording to critics of the Social
Democratic government, is in poor
shape, and the feeling is running
so high that talk of a coalition of
Conservatives, Liberals and Ag-
rarians is being heard on all sides.
Coalition Debated
The Social Democrats say that
differences of opinion on manag-
ing the country are too strong in
other parties to make a coalition
possible now. However, the oppo-
sition is stepping up it's campaign
for a government change, over So
cialist protests, using present
world tension as its strongest ar
gument.
The new year also brings new
labor contracts in Sweden which
promise to be delicate and diff

cult to solve. Many Liberal and
Conservative papers warn that if
higher wages are agreed on, ac-
cording to the usual sliding scale
geared to the cost-of-living index,
repercussions are bound to be fel.
all along the line from producer
to consumer, eventually leading to
shutdowns and unemployment.
In the face of rising living costs.
the Communists have stepped up
their monotonous drumming for
higher wages, while white-collar
workers, particularly, are wonder
ing how to pay for their food AMI
clothing, already high and still 60
ing up, with higher taxes now be-
ing added to the bill.
The Russians have followed up
their most recent radio blasts
against w d e n S rearmament,
which they call "provocation.' by
ordering two Soviet trawlers to
steam into Sweden's Falkenberg
harbor without asking permission
of the authorities or even asking
for pilot. The Swedes We're great
ly aroused by this incident and
wondered how it was possible that
the ships arrived with no notice.
AS one of the Swedish papers
commented: 1T is going too far
when the Russians Theoretically
seal their ports and those controll-
ed by them to all foreign shipping,
then use peaceful neighboring
ports as if they owned them, too"
Regarding Moscow's incessant
radio attacks on Sweden the Nor
wegian conservative paper Aften-
poster pointed out THE fact that
Radio Moscow calls Sweden's re-
arming a provocation, clearly
shows that whether a country is
neutral or an alley of the West
makes absolutely no difference to

Ten-year-Old Jan Kristian Borge
of Bergen, Norway, has good rea-
son to believe there really Is 4
Santa Claus = at least in the I'm

Months ago his fancy was caught
by an advertisement for aluminium
toys which appeared in a U. S.
magazine. Jan wrote a letter to
the manufacturer, stating his age
and advising that he had three
year-old sister named Torill. He
also enclosed $500
A few days before Christmas
Jan received a package containing
a huge toy fire truck, large doll

one-dollar bills. The gift. which
was flown to Norway by Scandin-
avian Airlines, was accompanied
by wishes for A Merry Christmas
from President Mat Miller. of the

ers, California.
In another goodwill gesture, 80
selected Oslo children received a
bounty of Christmas toys, includ-
ing trucks. dolls and wind-ups. all

Possibilities For Peace

The paradox of communism is that it offspring
of the industrial revolution and theoretically only
reach its fufiment in highly ndustriazed society," and
yet it has gained power only in highly agraran countries
(Czechosovaka got it involuntarily).
Considering that highly developed industry is the
most vital factor to country in modern warfare not
to say gobal war, it is equally paradoxcal that the
main threat to the socaed free world should from

the free nations such talk would surely be

FOREIGN POLICY AND DE-
TENSE POLICY ARE THE PEO-
PIES PROBLEM, said Prime
Minister Erik Eriksen at a meet
ing of the Liberal Party in Esb-
jerg. We soon were agreed after
the war, the Premier said, that
neutrality in the old meaning did
not longer exist. I'VE tried 10
form a joint Scandinavia defense
alliance an attempt that unfor-
tunately failed = and, in ,conse-
quence of developments, Denmark
had to give up her neutrality in
recognition of the fact that the
present world order leaves no place
for isolation-on the contrary.
Our adherence to the fellow
ship, of which the Atlantic Pact is
an expression, is due solely to the
desire to secure freedom and in
dependence. That means sacrifice,
and thus foreign and defense pol
icy are problems which concern
all of us.
I'm a manner we have given up
part of our sovereignty for the
benefit of something we have in
common, but this is the very con-
dition for preserving and further
developing the national character
istics of our people"
