pan extensive study of the actual
distribution of private and public
ownership in the Swedish econ
omy, made by the Swedish Bank
ing Association, clearly shows
that Sweden remains a country of
private ownership and initiative.
The system of public ownership
has advanced much farther than
IN the the United States, but it is
chiefly in the public utilities and
service fields that the government
active. Sweden's natural resOur-
,es are predominantly in private
lands, and in industry and COM
lerce there are few exceptions
UFom the rule of private ownership
and management.
Nose of the public ownership
that is found in Sweden today
dates from farther back than the
beginning of the present Labor
regime, about two decades ago.
During the first years after the

For Swedish commercial avia-

on a fifty-fifty basis, has been
worked out. Bus lines are 60 per
cent privately owned, local author
tiles running IA and the State
Railways 26 per cent. Practically
all of the merchant marine, on the
other hand, is privately owned and
managed.

1.-THE American Liberal was,

can. He may worship God as a
Protestant, a Catholic, Jew-or in
any other way he chooses. He
may choose, since he believes this
to be his inherent right as an
American, to worship no God at
all. He is as insistent upon his
right as he is upon the right of
every American to worship God
as he chooses. He is the enemy not
only of religious intolerance, but
of discrimination on every level
and in every aspect of American
life, a gains t any American be-
cause of a religious or political
belief, creed or color. He recog-
nizes, above all else, the response
bilities of the individual to law
and to our Democratic Tradition
and he recognizes the rights of
the individual under law and
under our Democratic Tradition.
'He does not recognize the right
of individuals, or groups of indi-
viduals, to set themselves up in
such a manner as to usurp the
power and jurisdiction of legally
appointed courts of law-thereby
depriving their fellow Americans
of protection under law for their
livelihood. He resents and cries
out against-as long as his voice
is permitted to be heard-the use
of Congressional immunity to dis
honor and humiliate fellow
Americans without granting them
the privileges of defense and re-

any possible concept of the Demo-

was being held prisoner, Mrs.

Buckingham Palace
To Be RemodeIed on
More Efficient Lines

LONDON, Aug. II (NANA) -
Streamlining seems to be the Or
der of the day for official man
sions. The White House is vir-
tually rebuilt and Buckingham
Palace. in London, is going to be
modernized.
Things are moving too slowly in
Buckingham B Palace, especially for
people who have to wait for din
ner.
How would you like to live in
a mansion where every dish from
the kitchens has to be carried on
trolleys along a quarter mile OF
corridors? That is what the Brit
ish royal family has had to put up
with for years. So about 81 mil
lion soon will be spent on the ven
cradle pile, and most of it has
been earmarked for domestic
purposes.
There is only one service ele-
vator. It connects the kitchen
with the state dining room, but
not even a royal family wants to
eat every meal in a huge, darfty
hall that will seat 300. A num-
ber of elevators will bring food
piping hot to the private dining
rooms.
Furniture For Servants.
Palace servants. too, will he
happy. New furniture is to be
installed in their living quarters
and new gadgets in their kitchens
and utility rooms.
The physical difficulties Of re-
Inovating a place like Bucking-
ham are enormous. There are 800
rooms in the huge quadrangular
structure, besides a ballroom, a
throne room. a chapel, a picture
gallery. another gallery for Sculp-
ture, a library. a state dining
room. and a grand stair case.
Both the King and Queen are
much interested in good house
keeping at Buckingham. They
must pay all expenses out of their
allowance. The King has reduced
the number Of chefs from six to
three and will be able to cut the
domestic staff further when mod
ern labor saving devices are
installed.
