Presents information on the socio-political conditions in Scandinavia. Thousand students and teachers of the University of Oslo, Norway, arrested and subsequently deported to Reich, Germany; Sweden's stand in the case of the arrested Oslo students one instance in a series of political moves which represent a new departure in inter-Scandinavian affairs; Developments tend to facilitate postwar collaboration, there are differences of national policy among the Scandinavian countries, which were intensified during the World war II; Northern neighbor of Norway has become an Axis state, while in Sweden there is still strong sentiment for exempting Finland from the category of the aggressors; Tendency in Swedish business circles, to look upon the Soviet Union as Sweden's great, natural market, which hitherto has been neglected; View of Arne Ording, adviser to the Norwegian Foreign Office in London, England that Scandinavian nations after the war will prefer to participate in worldwide international agreements rather than limited regional understandings such as a Scandinavian federation.
