regular sales day tomorrow, under the reor

cause more classes are held on Wednesday,
these two groups felt more students could be
contacted for war stamp sales.

"The government's unshakable
intention is resistance to the ut
most limit." This was the state
ment made by Dr. Gosta Franzen
of the University of Uppsala in
Sweden when he appeared before
a group in the Student Union yes
terday to try to clarify Sweden's
position in this war.
Dr. Franzen came to the United
States in 1941 to study American
education methods, but the war
and occupation of the Scandinav

at the University of Chicago. Ke

the U. S. to promote better under
standing between his native Swe

Swedish Not Neutral.

the misunderstood country ever
since she declared her neutrality

world's sentiment toward the war. It is an analogy illustrating
the changing of a coinman, cynical attitude toward the world
at war 1o a bright hope for the world's future. The analogy
is brought about by the experience of one man. Charleston, who
was once a newspaper reporter, disgusted and discouraged at
the world's turmoil. Giving the world up for lost, he tries to
escape by getting a job as the keeper of a lonely lighthouse on
Lake Michigan.
In the lighthouse Charleston
tries to build a little world for him
