Sweden Asking Pacts
With Reich for dose
Trade Co-operation
Agreements Will Aim^
To Restore Normalcy
In Scandinavia
St the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM. July 8. —Sweden
openly entered a course of close co
operation with Germany today, its
aim a "normalized Scandinavia.'
Trade—the trade on which Sweden
depends for existence—and the safe
guarding of the nation's "living
space” were the objects sought
through multilateral agreements
with Germany, with German-domi
nated Denmark and German-con
trolled Norway.
These agreements, expected to be
completed this week, were practical
manifestations of the new Swedish
policy indicated by Prime Minister
Per Hansson.
Hansson's policy is based on the
premise that, with the war in Nor
way ended and Sweden's access to
British markets closed, the Swedes'
one hope of resuming business is
through trade with Germany and
Nazi-dominated areas.
Hope to Extend Trade Channels.
The new multilateral agreements
are designed to promote inter
change of goods between the coun
tries concerned. Negotiations with
Norway so far have concerned only
Sweden's trade with that country;
in other words there is no hope, as
yet, of using Norwegian or Western
Sweden seaports for trade with the
Americas.
An interesting feature of the Nor
wegian negotiations is that they
have been conducted with represent
atives of the existing regime. The
position of the Norwegian Legation
here, linked with King Haakon’s
refugee government in England, is
not yet clarified.
Sweden's acquiescence last week to
a German request for permission to
send troops and supplies across
Swedish territory into Norway in
dicated the Stockholm government's
unwillingness to let anything stand
in the way of a realistic settlement
with Germany.
fcxpect to Aid All Mates.
An informant close to the govern
ment said transit rights across
Sweden for Germany won't affect
the outcome of the war and restora
tion of trade would help neighboring
Scandinavian states, as well as
Sweden, back to normalcy.
Sweden's most important import
Is coal, which it can obtain under
present circumstances only from
Germany. Its most important ex
port is iron ore, from which Ger
many is the only big customer in a
position to carry away what it buys.
F. C. C. Not to lake Over
Radio Stations, Fly Says
By the Associated Press.
Chairman James F. Fly said to
day the Federal Communications
Commission had no plans to assume
“sweeping control" over broadcast*,
ing activities in event of a national
emergency.
In response to questions at a press
conference, Mr. Fly asserted “our
Government isn’t qualified to take
over broadcasting.”
“Of course.” he added, “if we
should ever get into war, there will
be some particular things the Gov
ernment would have to do, but there
would be nothing done of a sweep
ing character affecting the broad
casting industry.
“There is no reason in the world
why commercial organizations and
commitments should not continue
Unimpeded.”
Mr. Fly said there was no occa
sion now and expressed hope there
never would be for the radio indus
try “to become alarmed about plans
for defense."
“There is every reason the indus
try should not be alarmed,” he con
tinued. “Our plans are to leave
private operations in private hands
to continue to perform the functions
they are now performing.”
Cove Held No Place
For Bride, Romance
Of Hermit, 80, Ends
By th* Associated Press.
OMAHA, Nebr., July 8.—"Dy
namite Pete” Everett's romance
with Mrs. Myrtle Mason, 41,
who wanted to live in his her
mit's dugout, is off.
“It's all off, and that's all
there is to it,” she said. “The
law won't let him keep a woman
in a cave.”
The 80-year-old hermit, who
planned to meet Mrs. Mason
for the first time Sunday after
a correspondence romance,
wrote that health authorities
told him his dugout home on
Pawnee Creek near South Bend,
Nebr., is no fit place for a bride.

Fear of Nazi Aid
From Fifth Column
In Eire Expressed
Request for British Help
Suggested by Northern
Ireland Spokesman
By the Associated Press.
BELFAST, Northern Ireland, July
8.—A potential fifth column “threat
ens Ireland,” a highly placed North
ern Ireland source declared today.
He said it existed in extremists
of the outlawed Irish Republican
Army “who always opposed the gov
ernment in authority" and in Ger
mans and Italians still residing in
Ireland (Eire—the former Irish Free
State).
Calling the menace the same as
“the danger which conquered Nor
way,” this spokesman declared:
"Ireland must not prove the
Achilles' heel in the defense of the
United Kingdom. We will hold on
no matter what Germans land.”
North Ready to Help British.
Northern Ireland, he asserted, has
well-equipped men under arms and
ready “to help the British Army
when it sets forth on its duty to
protect our part of the British
Empire."
Northern Ireland is part of the
United Kingdom.
The solution, he said, is for Eire—
Ireland—to request British military
aid.
“Until Eire seeks and secures mil
itary co-operation of the.imperial
government,” he added, "Eire will
leave herself open to attack by
Germany.
Eire Has Poor Defense.
“Eire does not possess military
strength to repel German invasion.
She has a small army but is defense
less in the air and on the sea.
“Any plan for the defense of Ire
land. North and South, must form
part of a wider plan for the defense
of Great Britain, Northern Ireland
and Eire."
Ireland, giving the Germans a
base for forays against the English
west coast, would be of high stra
tegic value to any Nazi invasion of
England.
