Chile Will Sell Copper
On Free Market After
Breaking U. 5. Pact
BY the Associated Press

SANTIAGO, Chile, May s.
Chile plans to offer her whole
output Of copper on the free mar
ket beginning May 8. The rich
mining country, producer of about
a fifth of the worlds supply of
that strategic metal. made the
announcement after breaking off
last night a year-old pact to sell
80 per cent of her copper at a
fixed price to the United States.
The Chilean cabinet announced
1t had cancelled its 1851 agree
ment with two United States
firms, which almost completely
control the Andean country's
mines, because it wants a higher
price to earn more dollars for
foreign exchange. 1t said it also
needs cash to pay higher wages
to 1880 striking miners.
The Government said it made
its decision after telephone con-
versationS with the country's
ambassador in Washington and
conferences with the copper COM
panieS and the Chilean Central
Bank, which has marketed the 20
per cent free kuota.
World Price Higher.
Under the 1851 pact Chile sold
the United States 267,17O tons, or
30 per cent. at the fixed United
States ceiling price of q p cents
a pound for foreign copper. The
remainder she placed on the
world market, where the price has
been as high as 81 cents.
The two United States COM
panies involved in the deal-Ana-
conda Copper Mining Co. and
Kennecott Copper Corp. pay
Chile a royalty of three cents a
pound on their total production.
Finance Minister German Pico
Canas told newsmen after a con-
ference tonight with President
Gabriel Gonzales Videla that
Chile would be receptive to a new
agreement with the United States,
If it will bring her more money.
He declare. however. the govern
ment would not retreat a step"
from its stand on the old agree
ment.
Authoritative Chilean sources
said earlier this week the govern
ment would be willing to turn
Chile's total copper production
over to the two companies for sale
abroad. including the govern
ment'S 20 per cent cut, if the
firms pay an extra six-cent a
pound premium-an overall price
OF 3312 cents.
U. S. Cool Toward Deal.
Informed sources in Washing
ton said, however, the United
States would probably be cool
towards such deal because a
price increase would knock a hole
in the United States Stabilization
POSI dAu'
An Anaconda representative
called the Chilean cancellation
"shortsighted." He said the United
States could get along without
Chilean copper Just as it managed
without tin from Bolivia, where a
price disagreement has cut sales
for more than a year.
A Chilean government smelter
has turned out a few thousand
tons of smelted copper since it
began production early this year.
The first shipments went to West
Germany.
A wage strike has tied up Ana
conda's Chuquicamata and Potre-
rilloS mines since April Is.

thousand miles to Haparanda.
Shortly after the so contestants
started, Hakansson was off on his
own private bicycle race, his snow
white beard waving in the breeze
His equipment consisted of a can
vas water jug, a raincoat and a
mileage counter. The judges had
given him no racing number so he
wore a huge zero on his chest.
They could keep him out of the
race but they couldn't keep him
off the highway.
1t wasn't until he had pedaled
about 100 miles that the press dis

Ninety Percent Of Swedish Industry
Private, 2591a Of Food Stores co-0ps

Sweden can be counted as
strong exponent of private enter
prise and a staunch believer in
the incentive system" said Major
Benjamin H. Namm, president of
Namm-Loeser's department store
in Brooklyn, upon his return to
the United States from a two
month visit to the Scandinavian
countries.
He noted t h a t approximately
ninety per cent Of all Swedish in
dustry is in private hands. In
most fields, private ownership is
as high as ninety-eight or ninety
nine per cent. AS examples he
cited the forest, steel, and ship
ping industries, in addition to
banking and housing. ct may be
added that the remaining tenth
of the industrial employment is
about equally divided among the
cooperatives and state or municipal
enterprises

Swedish retailing" said Major
Namm, consists of approximately
$4,000 stores, or about one to every
ninety inhabitants Operating
costs are lower than in the U. S. A.
There is also a noticeable trend
toward more and more self service
Eighty-six per cent of all
merchandise is sold by private
dealers and fourteen per cent
through consumers cooperatives.
The percentage of consumer coop
erative stores in the food field, how
ever, is somewhat higher, but not
in excess of twenty-five per cent.
Last but not least, Sweden's
labor force appears to be strong
ly in favor of the free enterprise
system. The great majority of
Swedish labor is unionized, but
practically all of these unions
show wholesome respect for the
profit motive"

Norway Trade Lays
As Demand Lessons

Commerce minister Erik Bro
floss recently gave the Parliament
report on Norway's economic
situation, which he summed up in
these words: Our position is good,
with reasonable balance between
imports and export earnings The
internal economy is also fairly Sc
cure, but we've got to watch the
price trend"
Mr. Brofoss told Parliament that
the future development of Nor
ways economy would depend on
maintenance of employment and
production throughout Western
Europe. "We. have been hard hit
by the deflationary policies pur-
sued by certain countries. Our
foreign trade deficit is due, not to
our inability to produce, but to
tagging foreign demand"
On the assumption that other ma
tons will adhere to policy of
economic expansion, he said the
Government estimates with a pro-
duction increase of $50 in 1858.
The Government also figures on
carrying out the $500 million kro-
ner defense program approved for
the 1952-54 period. At the same
time, it believes it is possible to
increase consumption by SO in
1928, and 40 in 1953-54.

fbut from admirers en- route he
accepted coffee, cake and lingon-

the highway.
AS Supergrandpa's story gath
cred momentum, newspapers de-
voted pages to his life story and
the people of Sweden learned that
Gufstaf Hakansson had not taken
up bicycling until he was past 40.
Before that he had been too busy
making living as farmland and
truck driver. But when his ten
children were grown up, he an
.nounced one day to his wife, II am

to see the Midnight Sum-"
His wife pointed out that he had
no money. "All you need to see
the world is a bicycle and two
strong legs" he told her. And, with
loaf of bread jug of water and
a raincoat, he pedaled off. When
he reached the Arctic he spent the
summer doing odd chores on farms
to earn his keep; when the days
began to shorten he headed his
bicycle toward home. For years
afterward he spent the dark winter
evenings telling friends about the
magic. summer he spent in the land
of the Midnight Sun.
During his race south the news
paper Dagens Nyheter asked Hak-
ansson to write daily column on
the trip. He agreed. After all, he
was hours and hours ahead of the
other contestants, who were taking
time out for sleep. Between viii
lagos he would sit down on the
grass, get out his logbook and jot
down his thoughts.
On the fourth day OF the race,
with total of five hours sleep
behind him he wrote, Never felt
better in my whole life. Hoy could
anyone be fatigued when surround
ed by such constant human kind
ness? Wonderful people across the
country And such pretty girls, I
enjoy looking at them. They could
all be my granddaughters."
At Soderhamn, midway in the
race, he consented at last to a
physical checkup at the friendly
urging Of the police. Everything
was fine, pulse and heart perfect,
no sign of fatigue.
Supergrandpa could have made
much better time if he had had an
automobile escort like the others.
Cars cleared their way, while he
was continually blocked by trucks
and automobiles. But I don't
