In the opinion of Florence S.

the Foreign Minister in defense of
that policy"
The Stockholm Dagens Nyheter,
regarded as the leading Liberal
newspaper, wrote: The Foreign
Minister'S address contained a
statement which must cause gen.
uine satisfaction: The Atlantic
Pact is of great value as a means
of balancing the Eastern bloc D.. {.
What Mr.. linden said about the
value of balance cannot conceal
the fact that it is the unity of
the democracies that is an asset.
He could not very well turn the
sentence around and say that the
unity of the Eastern bloc is OF
value as a means of balancing the
Atlantic Pact. The absurdity of
such a statement is the best proof
that it isn't the balance that is
desirable in itself-the heart of
the matter is the self-defense of
the democracies against Commun-
list aggression" Syd-svenska Dag
bladet, of Malmo, one of the lead
ing Conservative newspapers, ex-
pressed similar views: American
policy is not encirclement in the
real sense of the word-it con-
sists, rather of security measures
against an imperialistic system.
Our own neutrality is not of the
kind that would keep us from say
ing what we think of the Soviet
Unions methods and of its threat
to Western culture"
AftOn-Tidningen, an influential
Labor paper, looks back over the
five years that have passed since
the Scandinavian countries parted
company on foreign policy. by
and large it can be said that Den
marks and Norway's joining of
the Atlantic Pact and Sweden S
adherence to the alliance-free
course have had surprisingly little
effect on the Scandinavian coun-
tries chances of cooperating in
international matters" Against
this background. the paper be-
lieves. it must still be regretted
that the three countries could not
agree on a Scandinavian defense
alliance in 1919.

Report On Defense
Research

The Norwegian Defense Re-
search Institute is vigorously
tackling the "ABC" of modern
war, i.e., atomic, biological and
chemical warfare, says NDRI d.
rector F. Moller. A military-civil-
ian "ABC" Council is considering
practical defense measures in the
three fields, including establish
ment of special "ABC" secre-
.tariat to handle supplies, train
ing and counter-measures.
Director M0ller reveals that
radio-activity indicator, designed
by the NDRI and now in produc-
ton, will be tested by Norwegian
troops in future defense maneu-
vers. Radioactive isotopes from
the KELLER uranium reactor will
be used to simulate a radioactive
field. The NDRI has also develop
ed a foam extinguisher to conf
bat the menace of A-blast fire.
The water supply at all mill
tary establishments has been
tested for psychological poisons
with device developed by the
NDRI. Moreover, the Institute is
making flame-throwers and incen-
diary bombs with materials cor
responding" to those used for SIM
liar purposes in USA. Among the
main NDRI projects is the estao-
lishment of chain of micro-wave
relay towers to assure uninter-
rupted tele-communicatio be-
tween the cities of Oslo, Bergen,
Stavanger and kristiansand.

dation for a continued increase in
the standard of living. 1t is, he
