Every Fifth Swede Moyed Into
New Home During 1906, Report

One-fifth of Sweden's seven mil
lions moved into new, modern and
more spacious homes during the
194Os, Gunnar Strang, Minister of
Social Welfare, pointed out in a
recent address. A serious shortage
of housing still exists, however,
the demand increasing constantly
because of higher living standards,
the great nu m Der of resident
aliens, at present 250,000, and the
continued influx of people from
the rural districts to the cities
Since no one actually recommends
a rent increase which would
mean return to overcrowding
and keep those in the lower in
come brackets from seeking new
homes-the housing shortage can
only be overcome by long-range eff
forts, Mr. Strang emphasized. He
recalled that the annual three per
cent reduction in the number of
farm workers meant that about
10000 people moved into the
cities during the 1940s.
During the l94Us, Mr. Stirling
said, 100000 new apartments
Were built. of which two-thirds
were completed with the aid of
government loans or other pub
lie support. On an average, this
corresponds to the current annual
production. which, because of the
shortage of manpower and ma
ter.als, has to be limited to $4,000
apartments a year. BY the middle
OF the 193Os, the output was about
10000 apartments annually. To
solve the housing problem, an an

Swedish Navy To

The Riksdag has approved the
new building plan for the Navy as

the military conscripts' first train
ing period of nine months. = The
six year navy plan provides for
the building of new destroyers,
submarines, and other light units,
numbering in all forty-siX and
estimated to cost a total of 440

Although guided missiles and en-

not been included in the building
program, the vessels will be so

fit. The final decision will not be
made until the Riksdag is through
with the budget by the end of the
spring session.
Other important tax reforms
are also being discussed. An. in
crease in indirect taxes and
corresponding reduction in direct
taxation has been recommended
by the large wage earners' or
CARNATIONS and the consumer CO.
operatives, and this recommended
ton receives some support in the
Social Democratic party. The dis
cussion centers on a general sales
tax.

nual production of $4,000 apart
ments would be required during
the period 1876.
Since 1850, building costs have
gone up by about 40 per cent, and
the time it takes to complete a
house is abnormally long. During
the next few years. it should prove
possible to boost production by
streamlining building operations
and making greater efforts to in
crease the supply of workers and
materials. AS the business boom
levels off, housing should also be
better able to hold it's own in COM

Reds Own Writings
Used in Fb| Study
OF Revolution Plans

The FBI has used the Com
munists' own words to show thai
their intention is to overthrow the
United States Government By
force and violence.
AN extensive FBI study of Rec
writings on the subject was made
public today in pamphlet form by
a Senate Internal Security sub.
committee.
subcommittee Chairman Nc
Carran said he requested the FB1
study because some people "trieo
to tell us the Communists were
not dangerous, that they had nc
plans for an armed revolution h
this country"
He said the study backs up the
work of his subcommittee in at
Itacking Red influences. He saic
it should enable doubling Ameri.
cans to recognize, once and fol
all. the evil and illegal aims o1
of our enemy, international COM
munism, Of which the Commu-
mist Party, United States of Amer
lea, is one tenacle."
Eleven top Reds were convicted
two years ago of conspiring to
overthrow the Government. The
Government now is attempting to
prove the American Reds are
part Of the worldwide Commu-
mist conspiracy, in order to force
them to register under the Nc
Carran Act of 1850. The FBI
study released today deals with
issues involved in both these ac-
tions.
The study quoted at length from
the Red classics" of Marx, En-
gels, Lenin and Stain. In each
case. excerpts quoted the Red
leaders as advocating overthrow
of governments by force and vio-
lence.
The report then quoted William
z. Foster, head Of the American
Communist Party, as saying the
principles and program" outlined
in the writings "are accepted by
all Communist parties. including
our own"
Customary Dodge" Blasted.
The report blasted as 'the Gus
tomary Communist dodge" the
Reds main argument on the vio-
lence issue. This argument is
that Communists prefer peaceful
but that force will be
necessary lin the face of capital
ist violence"
The primary basis for the Reds
argument. the report brought out,
is a statement by Karl Marx in
the 1870s that in certain coun-
tries it might be possible for
power to pass peacefully to the
Communists.
But, in repudiating the argu-
ment. the FBI cited this l943
statement by Premier Stain:
"The limitation or exception
which Marx conceived of in the
case OF England and America was
valid as long as there was no de-
veloped imperialism and developed
bureaucracy in those countries. In
Lenin'S opinion, this limitation no
longer applies in the new condi-
tions Of monopoly capitalism. .
therefore, violent revolution.
the dictatorship of the proletariat.
is an inevitable condition of the
advance toward socialism in all
imperialist countries without ex-
ception."
