nically solved.
Even in the case OF a cnange.
over from liquid fuel to producer.
gas, however, Sweden, despite its
vast forests would have to econo-
mize with its resources. During
World War II producer-gas driven
automobiles used approximately
5000, 900 cubic metres Of wood q
year, or more than all the fire.
wood sold annually before the
war. Today, if a switch should
have to be made, the problem
obviously would have much great
err scope, for the country now
boasts a total of nearly 100000
motor cars. The large-scale use
of wood and, especially, charcoal
as automobile fuel for any length
of time would mean wastage Of
Sweden's forest resources.

Whaling To
Be Analysed

OSLO = High-ranking govern
ment officials and representatives
of groups interested in Norwegian
whaling, meeting in Oslo, have
decided to prepare an analysis
showing the importance of Ant
arctic whaling to the national eco
nomy. The purpose, according to
the Oslo newspaper Arbeiderblad-
ct, is to obtain a clear picture of
the economic consequences that
would ensue If Norway were to
withdraw from the International
Whaling Commission.
The Whaling conference was
called by the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs to discuss the situation
that has arisen after the Norwe-
gian Whaling Council, by a vote
of 5 to 2, endorsed plea from
the Association of Norwegian
Whaling Operators. This plea, ad-
dressed to the government, urged
that Norway resign from the In
ternational Whaling Commission,
unless a satisfactory method can
be devised for controlling Antarc-
tic whaling. The Association
pointed to the big expansion of
Soviet and Japanese expeditions
this year, notwithstanding that
the quota for participating ma
tons has been reduced to a total
of $4,000 blue whale units.
In it's report on the Oslo con-
ference, Arbeiderbladet emphasiz-
ed that only the government car
decide whether or not Norway
should resign from the Interna-
tional Whaling Commission, add
ing: There is reason to believe
that the government will consider
the matter very carefully"

STOCKHOLM (ASNE)-If the oil
supply situation should deterior-
ate further Sweden may again fall
back upon it's forests for fuel for
automobiles and tractors. During
World War II about $4,000 of the
country's then 100000 motor cars
were converted to producer-gas
operation, based either on char
coal or on specially dried wood,
and an even larger proportion of
tractors were driven by such fuels.
Practically no gasoline was avail
able for civilian motor vehicles,
with the exception Of ambulances
and fire-engines. Through a series
of domestic inventions the pro-
ducer-gas equipment was gradu-
ally developed to a quite high
degree of perfection, and there is
good reason to believe that since
then further progress has been
made. During the last few years
the Volvo Company, Sweden's
leading automobile manufacturer,
has carried on extensive develop
ment work, and it would take the
firm only a few months to or
ganize quantity production of mod
ern producer-gas generators. A
