Open Break Is Unlikely Between Sweden, Germany

Washington, Nov. 8.—Despite the popular clamor among the democracy-loving Swedish people for retaliatory action against the Germans as a result of the destruction of a Swedish airliner by Nazi gunfire, relations between Stockholm and Berlin are likely to remain the same.

The incident, in which numerous lives were lost, is another in a long series of friction between Germans and Sweden. These incidents include German shelling of Swedish vessels and Sweden's action not long ago in canceling Germany's troop transport privileges to and from the Reich and Norway across Sweden.

There was a time when the Swedes were forced to 'knuckle under' in the days when it appeared likely the Nazis would win the war in Europe. But now, every one in Sweden, including the small percentage who were pro-Nazi, is a victory for Adolph Hitler.

But—and this government of the ruling King Gustave carries more weight than the enraged people.

From the beginning, Sweden's position in the world has been doubted by all manner of the time.

It is unlikely now Germany is to push Sweden into the position as the Reich.

If you want Day in case the Senates under the Constitution of the United States tax legislation and means committee and states a tough for the past 10 years, the Senate has taken the revenue-writing role with most of its tax proposals accepted to a major degree.

The reason for this is two-fold. Not even in the palmiest days of the New Deal did the ways and means committee become a 'rubber stamp' for administration tax programs, and as a result tax writing was subject to wrangling and inter-committee feuds.

Since Economic Stabilization Director Fred M. Vinson, former congressman from Kentucky, left the committee, it has had no outstanding tax authority. As a result, the Senate has taken the lead.

Newsmen now watch Senator Walter F. George of Georgia, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee. Since his predecessor, the late Senator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, died, George has practically dictated congressional tax bills.
