division of the university, in an
interview Tuesday morning.
Dr. Bengtson was born in Swe

in the Scandinavian countries. He
is very familiar with the topo

authority on the physiography of
those countries.

possibility of repelling the invader
would have been greater.
Chamberlain removal.
"For that reason," he said, "I
believe the removal of Chamber
lain as prime minister was justi
fied." "Also," he continued, "Cham
berlain has lost the confidence of
the British people."
Contrary to the popular belief
that the invasion of Norway was
a blind in which to lead the al
lies, Dr. Bengtson feels that the
real motive for the invasion was
to establish an air base to facili
tate the invasion of England later.
May invade Sweden.
"It is possible that Sweden will
be invaded," said Dr. Bengtson."
Sweden also would be a very effec
tive air base in order to facilitate
the bombing of the British Isles,
he said. He also pointed out that
the iron mines of Sweden are as
important to Germany as the stra
tegic value of the country, but
Germany can gain access to the
mines anyway.
Dr. Bengtson takes no stock in
the report that Sweden is too civ
lllzed to defend her country be
cause she hasn't engaged in a war
for 126 years.
Sign of weakness.
'This would not be an indica
tion of civilization," he declared
"but a sign of weakness." "Sweden
has an army of 500,000 men," he
continued, "and they will fight
and fieht hard if their country is
invaded."
Dr. Benetson recently made the
correct prophecy that the city of
Dombas, Norway would fall into
the hands of the Germans and also
made the prophecy that the port
of Narvik would be blockaded by
the British.
