G. Ward Price tells what they are afraid of & what they can do

SEVEN small countries, to whose citizens peace and security are as dear as to ourselves,

are aiming to procure Immunity from the war danger that overhangs Europe. reason is that all of them are close neighbours of Germany. So their principle is: Union in The strength,

In the West, Germany's frontiers touch no big nation except France. Between her and Britain les a fringe of little States who have long been uneasy as to their fate.

Each of them alone is very vulnerable. They began last year to discuss their common anxieties. These seven States are:

The three Scandinavian countries: Norway, Sweden, und Denmark; Finland. at the Northern end of the Baltic;

The three "Low Countries": Holland, Belgium, and Luxemburg.

It has been the hope of these small nations to see Switzerland added to their group, but this has not so far been effected.

Their association began in 1930, when a conference was held at Oslo, the capital of Norway, to discuss freer trade relations. Last your they began to organise their international political relations also.

He knows that the people who can pay cash and have the con- trol of the seas, are the nations of the Fence Front-especially Great Britain.

So Britain and France would be able to ge! arms, but the Axis Powers would not.

Now the President has arranged
