Abstract

Scandinavia's "New Democracy"
Lore, Ludwig | September 25, 1937 issue

add to cart   close window

The American public is becoming Scandinavia-conscious. In the early 1930s, Denmark, Norway and Sweden have been patronized by visitors from the U.S. as never before, and Scandinavian liners are doing a record business. Clinics and public welfare institutions, statistics on employment and social services, the fact that there seems to be not a single beggar in all Scandinavia, lead the superficial observer to conclude that Northern Europe has found the answer to the world's great problems. All this is done with the assistance, and wherever possible through the instrumentality, of the cooperative organizations, which have achieved a high degree of development in all the Scandinavian countries.
