Sweden Has Telephone
Contact With Most
Parts of the World
STOCKHOLM (S.I.P.B. ) , - Most
of the telephone communications
between Sweden and other coun—
h‘ies that were severed during the

ing the last few months traffic

Java was resumed.
The communication to Portugal
is maintained by wire to Switzer

sion Sweden has telephone con
tact with all European countries

is also telephone contact with
Moscow and Leningrad, via Hel
singfors.
Many oversea countries can now
be reached from Sweden. Thom
is a livcly traffic to North Amer—
ica and. moreover. thorv are com
munications with most of the Lot
in American countries. The traf
fic to the Dutch Indies. just open
ed. goes via Amsterdam. and to
Japan by two radio connections
via New York. Sweden is. how
ever, 'still lacking telephone con
nections with. among other coun
tries. Australia. New Zealand and
South Africa. owing to the (act
that the London station transmit-
ting these calls is already being
utilized to capacity.

Sweden’s Political
Course Defined
In Four Points
GOTHENBURG (Air Maill —
"The Swedish people observes the
cleavage of the world into an East.
em and a \Vestern bloc with great
anxiety," said the Swedish Prime
Minister, Tage Erlnnder. in a
speech in Gothenburg. “It is im
portant to make clear. at home
and abroad, Sweden's independent
political course. in order to avoid
any misunderstanding. It can be
defined in {our sentences." the
Prime Minister said: “Fight
against the enemies of democracy
at home: defense of Sweden's na
tional independence: freedom from
alliances and engagements which
would make Sweden a pawn in
the international struggle for
power: and, finally. wholehearfid
participation in the collaboration
for the economic reconstruction of
Europe."

Norway To Exlrm't

Aboard Norway's newest whaling

launched in Denmark in mid-April,
will be a modern hospital and lab
oratory designed by the D a n l s h
physician William Sterling. To
gether with Dr. H. C. Hagedorn
the Danish insulin specialist who
has just returned from 3 months
of research in the Antarctic. Dr.
Sterling has been investigating the
possibility of extracting insulin
from the pancreatic glands of
whales. “In the wrale.” m .1“; Dr.
Sterling “this gland reaches a.
weight of 7:3 kg. while the pan
creatic gland of a pig. from which
insulin is normally extracted,
weighs a mere 75 grams." Though
insulin content of the whole glad
is 50’}; lowvr, it will neverthele'ss
provide over 500 times more insu
lin than the present source as it
is over 1000 times larger. “Ex—
traction will bo fairly expensive,"
continued Dr. Sterling. ‘but mun-y
cannot be decisivu when it is 3.
matter of saving human life. In.
many countries people are dying
each day due to the present high
cost of insulin."
