Nord returned last week frorn a two înonths' visit in Swedeni, sojourning for extended periods at Stockholm. r and Gothenburg. Swedish nianufacturers, '\r. Nord learned, are far behind with mer- chandise orders, the normal' advance in trade having been augmnented b% the demand for commodities to prose- cute the Italo-Ethiopian conflict.

On the'other band, however, Mr. Nord feels that, Sweden is perhaps over-organized, although the rela- tionship between employer and eml- pl oyee 'seems to be quite satisfactory, the customary procedure being the establishment of wage contracts by voluntary agreement, with the gov- erninent éxercising supervisory pre- rogatives. Price-cutting is almost unheard of in Sw'eden. The principal source of revenue. is throughi income -tax which 'applies uniformlIv.

Many citizens have forwarded their subscriptions byv mail. Tbôse who bave not responided by mail ivill be personally solicited bv volunteer members of the finiance Com.n'ittee. Giving to the Chicago fund does not mean any assistance forour own« boys, Mr., Olin 'stated. "We- are: asking our people to share their giv- ing with our home -town boys. Cer- tainly our budget is the minimum we could expect and we are determnined to get' it this year."
