“‘Value Freedom More Than Peace"
States Norway Prime Minister
OSLO.——At a rally in Denmark
the Norwegian Premier Eiuar Ger
hardsen recently stated:
"It has caused some attention
in the world that the Scandinavian
countries at present find it diffi
cult to achieve a common platform
on international and military ques
tions. In fact, the differences of
view are perhaps not so great as
many would have them appear.
There is no disagreement among
lus that a democratic form of gov
lernment is the only regime under
‘which we consider it worth living.
In the matter of the form of gov
ernment and culture. therefore, we
prefer the west to the east.
“\Ve all of us wish” if it is at
all possible. to keep our countries
outside any future war. The North
ern people are peace-loving peo
ple. But even if we .value peace
highly, and are faced with the
choice between .peace and freedom,
we will choose freedom rather than
peace.
“The last war gave us different
experiences. Sweden was outside
the war, and has therefore retained
a strong belief in the possibility
of keeping outside any future con
flict as well. Denmark and Norway
discovered in 1940 that even the
most sincere desire for neutrality
did not save us from being brutally
drawn into the war. These various
experiences have meant in conse
quence that we estimate the posi
tion. the possibilities. and the
tasks somewhat differently.
“Fortunately, however. we are
still on speaking terms with each
other. and we must not give up
hope of reaching agreement on a
common platform. In a. grave and
dangerous period like the present.
a period when, it is often said. we
should hope‘for the best but pre
pare ourselves for the worst. it
gives us a stronger feeling of se
curity to know that we stand side
by side with nations who have the
same views on the fundamental
conceptions of liberty."
Swedish Exports

STOCKHOLM. August 9 (By
airmaili—During the first half of
1948. Sweden's exports, as com
pared with the same period last
year. increased by 519 million kro
nor. Their total value was 1,765
million kronor (approximately $490
milliona. The value of imports was

milliom. which was 189 million
kronor more than for the first six
months of 1947. The import sur
plus consequently was reduced
from 1,021 million kronor in Janu
ary-June 1947 to 691 millions for
the same period this year.
During the last two weeks 81’
July the Swedish Riksbank for the
first time in many months was able
to show a net increase in its gold

The total increase amounted to
about 33 million kronor. of which
nearly 25‘mmions were added dur
ing the last week of the month.

Forest Of 65,000
Trees Moved From
Norway To Iceland
STOCKHOLM—A few days ago
65.000 two-year old fir and pine
tree plants were flown by the
Scandinavian Airlines S y s t e m
(SASl from Tromso in Northern
Norway via Oslo to Reykjavik in
Iceland.
As is well known, Iceland is
without forests, but geologists
have discovered that thousands of
years ago it had very valuable
woodlands, which have gradually
try there is a great deal of half
finished machinery, which has been
stored away and thus does not
come to any use, although the
firms generally are not able to fill
all their export orders. Under nor
mal conditions they could easily
have obtained the missing parts
and completed the machinery. The
Industry Commission has now be
gun an inventory of the industry in
order to find out what parts are
required. and these will then be
either purchased from abroad or
made within the country. if neces
sary by factories which have been
specially converted for this pur
pose. It is hoped that in this way
a considerable quantity of ma
chinery will be made available for
export.

now being carried out for the re
cultiVation of these forests and
the 65,000 plants from Northern
Norway should have every p05-
sibillty of settling in the cold Ice
landic soil and thus forming a
basis for new forests.
This experimental transplanta
tion is being followed with- the
greatest interest all over the
world. And, if the experiment
is succassful. this transport flight
will go down in history as the
first time a forest was moved from
one country to another.
