Postwar Scandinavian EconomyViewed by FSSP Reporters -

By EAiL W. EWE

The author of the following report, Earl W. Eames, Jr., '49, was theoriginator and first director ot Technology's Foreign Student Project.He and two other Technology students who have worked on the projectare touring Europe to evaluate the results of the program and to makeplans for enlarging its scope. As it is presented here in abridged version,the repo;r is the first of several which are to be sent to the FSSPatdainimstration at the Institute. It deals with the travelers' experiencesin Scandinavia last summer, and will be presented in several install-ments.-Ed. ;'

DENMARK: June 30-July 14Copenhagen, Zeeland, Aarhuas,Aalborg

General ObservationsWe had a fine Introduction to

"agricultural Denmark." On ourway to Copenhagen from Londonwe flew low across South Denmarkand saw what appeared to be thefinest farni land in the world: Wewere later told that this land wasactually quite poor. The hard work-ing Danes manage to do wonderswith very bad soil and produceamazing quantities of food anddairy products.

The Danish Economy

During the first few days inDenmark we discussed economicproblems with the Minister ofFinance, the Minister of Com-merce, and the Deputy Chief of theECA mission in Copenhagen. Alterfurther observations in the fieldwe were left with certain definiteimpressions.

The Danish economy may bebriefly described as follows: Oilseeds are imnported. and pressed.Margarine in9made from the oil andsold on the local market and theoil cake is fed to the cattle, Thedairy industry exports butter andcheese, while the skimmed milk isfed to the swine, and ham andbacon are exported. The differencebetween the cost of the oil seedsand the price of the agriculturalexports pays for the industrialgoods and raw materials whichDenmark must import.

Thus the structure of Danishtrade and industry presupposes im-ports of raw materials from over-seas-to a large extent from theWestern Hemisphere -while ex-ports must largely be marketed inEurope. Fifty per cent of all ex-ports are made to Great Britain.The dollar problem is thereforesevere.

In our informal survey we foundthat there was in general a goodunderstanding of ECA. At a largeagricultural fair there was anexcellent display, prepared by theDanish government, explaining theMarshall Plan. A large slogan acrossthe top said: "The Marshall Planis not a pillow to sleep on!!" andwen.t on to explain how much workis still needed to reach the goalsset by the government. Fifteen percent of Denmark's total importsthis year will come under Marshallaid.

It appears to me that whileDenmark Is doing much to helpherself she could do much more."Austerity" is not in the vocabulary,and the government is having adifficult time making any longterm plans with any actual mean-ing. The Minister of Commercecomplained to us about not beingable to sell butter in the UnitedStates, blaming the tariff for allof his trouble. I explained thatthey must do a real job of sellingto the American market-that IfDenmark would place butter inNew York with a pink stripe downthe center, wrapped in metal foiland cellophane, and print on theoutside "the Best Butter -n theWorld," or some such slogan, theywould have a chance to sell. Peoplein Europe don't seem to realize theselling technique needed to do a

rThe Tech PlacesSecond As DeverWins Bridge RaceJust about all Boston, let alone

the majority of Technology stu-dents, are pretty well aware of thegrand bridge opening ceremony lastWednesday, although a few thingsof importance did escape generaldetection. Not the least of these isthe fact that the opening was in-stigated by The Tech and aided ina small way by a certain collegehumor magazine, which shall benameless.

One of the most interesting fea-tures of the rally was the -way inwhich advance information regard-ing the departure of GovernorDever's official party from the HotelKenmore was received. A man sta-tioned at the hotil phoned theTheta Delta Chi fraternity houseon Memorial Drive, where the in-fornation was relayed by The Techwalkie-talkie to the bridge. This en-abled the crowd to march acrossthe bridge just in time to greet thegovernor.

Although the planned car racehad to be cancelled due to the pres-ence of two unforeseen ten-tontrucks at the ends of the bridge,nevertheless, just as the truckswere rolled away a sleek maroonCadillac convertible which had beenpreviously secreted in a nearbyalley slid in front of GovernorDever's limousine, and gaily pro-ceeded across the bridge in front ofthe official motorcade. Unfortu-nately, four of Boston's finest, per-haps guessing the car was not Gov-ernor Dever's (it contained aboutten The Tech men, a brass band,and two clowns), stopped it beforeit got far.

However, the The Tech car hadthe honor of being first across thebridge behind Governor Dever,making the trip in less time than it

good job on the American market,and they are not ready for such ajob.

A good comparison of .the fourScandinavian economics might bein order at this point. As regardsgovernment control and planningof exports, we found the followingto be true:

NORIWAY: Government plansyear's progam in advance. If ex-porters are not following program,the government tells them theymust and they do.

DENMARK: Government plansyear's program in advance. If ex-porters are not following pro-gram, the government tells themthey must. Exporters argue, finallyagree.

SWEDEN: Government plansyear's program in advance. If ex-porters are not following program,the government tells them theymust. Exporters tell governmentthey won't. And they don't!

Ho.pkins Univ.President WillLecture Here

Dr. Bronk To DeliverA. D. Little LectureshipNext Tues., Morss Hall

The 1949 lecture of the Arthur D.Little Lectureship will be given onTuesday, November 22, at 8:30 p.m.in Morss Hall. Dr. Detlev W. Bronk,President of Johns Hopkins Univer-sity, will speak on "The Unity ofthe Sciences and the Humanities."Student tickets are available at theInformation Office.

A well-known theorist concerningthe place of science and liberal artsin a college education, Dr. Bronkholds firm in his belief that spe-cialized scientific colleges shouldnot "assume the function of a tradeschool." Liberal arts colleges on theother hand should not merely "pro-vide entertainment for the masses."

Universally known as a physicistand physiologist, Dr. Bronk beforegoing to Johns Hopkins was directorof the Eldridge Reeves JohnsonFoundation for Medical Physics atthe University of Pennsylvania. Dr.Bronk's scientific achievements in-clude new methods'for the measure-ment of changes in nerve cells whilenervous impulses travel to thebrain.

A graduate of Swarthmore Col-lege, Dr. Bronk received his Ph.D.from the University of Michigan-in 1926. After studying at the fa-mous physiological laboratories atCambridge and London, he startedon a career in biophysics. His firstappointment was to the JohnsonFoundation at the University ofPennsylvania where he remainedfor 19 years.

During World War l, Dr. Rronkserved as chairman of aviationmedicine research in the Office ofScientific Research and as coordi-nator of research for the Air Sur-geon. For his work in aviationmedicine, the United States gaveDr. Bronk a special award and theBritish gave him the Order of theBritish Empire.

Since the war, Dr. Bronk has en-tered new fields of endeavor. He isa member of the United States Na-tional Commission for UNESCO,Foreign Secretary of the NationalAcademy of Sciences, and Chair-man of the National ResearchCouncil. In addition he is a mem-ber of the editorial staffs of severalscientific journals.

The Arthur D. Little MemorialLectureship was established in 1944to honor the founder of Arthur D.Little, Inc. The purpose of the lec-tures is to promote interest in thesocial aspects of science. Among thedistinguished men who have lec-tured previously under these au-spices is J. Robert Oppenheimerof nuclear physics fame.

Reviews & PreviewsOne Broadway critic, famous for

looking down his nose and seeingthe world through rose-colorednostrils, used as his most harshepithet against the lowliest per-formances the term, "college stuff."Although the Dramashop's presen-tation of Three Men On A Horsedidn't sink low enough to deserveso severe a criticism, the play wasnothing more nor less than "collegestuff."

There was no doubt that the plotwas excellent, and that the authorand some of the actors would goplaces-though probably not to thesame places.

All the trouble for which variouspeople paid a buck twenty to see,revolved about a meek greeting-card poet, Erwin Trowbridge, whohandicaps the races as a hobby. Hisbrother-in-law, Clarence Dobbins(David Newton), becomes verymuch annoyed; because he con-sistently picks winners but refusesto play them. After a family spatErwin attempts ,to forget his sor-rows in an alcoholic spree, and asa result falls in the hands of threeavid horse players who have beenin an unusual streak of bad luck.Clarence, always suspicious of hisbrother-in-law's motives, suspectsthat Erwin has cleaned up on theraces and flown the coop.

Joan Taylor plays her part wellas the worried and confused Mrs.Trowbridge. Erwin's' boss, whothinks that his underpaid employeehas been stolen by a rival greeting-card concern, appears in the cast;and this added to the flurry of re-porters, suspicious neighbors, andErwin's temperamental personalitygive sufficient backdrop to make ariotous story. It Ls unfortunate thatthe actors contributed so little towhat could have been a successfulplay.

David Newton, as Erwin, variedhis emotions and voice action asmuch as an FM hum, but he did

E.E. DepartmentAdds Third Dometo Growing Family"Hey, what's that?" "Look!"

Technology has a baby dome!Have you looked over Building 4?

It's there, just as plain as day-atnight it's illuminated by one of theInstitute's giant spotlights. Abouttwelve. feet in diameter and 14 feethigh, the baby dome has been inpossession of third place in theWho's Who of Technology domes(not dames) since early 1946.

What is this grey intruder doingthere? What are the mazes of wiresthat. lead into and out of it for?

During the war when Technologywas running the Radar School inBoston it, was found necessary totest antennae .continuously. Thisinvolved standing outside in allsorts of weather. Soo to avoid theunpleasantness of the job, andlower the rate of absence, severalsuch domes were constructed ofthin plywood and used as testingrooms for the antennae.

In 1945 the enthused electricalengineering department finally se-cured the permission of Buildingsand Power to construct on the mainbuildings petite Technology domeNo. 3.

As it now stands, the dome is forthe use of all members of the com-munications laboratory, aid gradu-ate students. It is also being usedin a classified research project forthe Army Ordnance Department, inconnection with the new researchlaboratory of electronics.

The housing is equipped with notonly. all facilities for housing theantennae but also many types ofequipment for studying the radia-tion patterns produced by the an-tennae.

Enthusiastic crowds of studentsare requested to refrain from flock-ing to the new dome, as she, likeall Technology domes, is not to betampered with.

Breaking a 1-1 tie in the finalsix minutes of the game, Brown'sbooters defeated the Engiaeereleven last Wednesday at Briggsfield. The Beavers went all out inthe last few minutes but were notable to make good their attempts.The entire game was played with-out the services of Captain Dimi-triou who was sidelined becauseof an injury suffered in Saturday'sgame with the University of Con-necticut.

As the end of the first periodapproached Leach of Brown wasable to . get one by Silveston andput the Bears out in front 1-0.After fifteen minutes of the secondperiod had passed, Harry Falcaotied up the game for Tech.

Score TiedFor two periods the teams then

played tight ball and neither wasable to score until, with six minutes-emaining in the game, Leach againput a good k'ck by Silveston to giveBrown the margin of victory.

In a frosh game neither teamwas able to hit the nets and theI;ame ended as a scoreless tie. Inrecent games the frosh have lookedbetter in each game and shouldhlave some good material for thefuture varsity teams.

Meet Harvard Todayin the final soccer meet of the

season the frosh and varsity willhead up river to meet the Harvard

ooters this afternoon. The engi-neers will be out to defeat theirannual rivals this year after losingfor the past few years.

Industry and ProductivityWe saw a unique process for

making pig iron out of iron scrapsin a rotary kiln in Aalborg. It is notknown in the United States, andis just being developed. It may bea good lndustry some day in somecountries, for besides the pig ironfrom scrap (impossible in a blastfurnace), they can also manufac-ture cement in the same processfrom the slag.

Productivity is perhaps equal toFinland, lower than Sweden, andhigher than Norway. Due to lackof production dontrol methods, timeand motion study, employee educa-tion, and mechanization, the pro-ductivity of the workers in Den-mark is naturally much lower thanat homie.
