Swedes Regard Safe-Conduct
Ships as Gifts From Heaven
By Ltnnart Strld
(United Press Staff Correspondent)
Stockholm (U.R) In peacetime ships come and go from the
most distant parts of the world and nobody pays much atten
tion except the firms who receive the cargoes and the sailors
who work on board. Today it is quite different. When a ship
from non-European ports arrives in Gothenburg all Sweden
hears about it and everyone is happy because he knows It may
mean increased rations or at least that the present rations will
remain at status quo."
Not lone ago it was reDorted
that a safe-conduct ship was on
its way with a cargo of tobacco.
Every smoker rejoiced when he
thought of the fine American
mixtures that soon would find
their way to his pipe and great
was the disappointment when it
was reported that the tobacco
was not to be "wasted" on
smokers but should be used in
the war against bugs and other
insects that threaten the fruit
harvest.
Safe-conduct shipping is of
the greatest importance to the
Swedish food situation, which
may be best unjrstood by i
look at imports before the war:
In 1937 imports amounted to
19,000,000 tons, of which about
60 per cent consisted of coal
and coke. Of the imports from
transoceanic countries more than
800,000 were food, concentrated
fodder and fertilizers. About
100,000 tons consisted of wheat,
rye and oats, and about 170,000
tons of corn. More than 60,000
tons of fat were imported that
year, plus considerable quanti
ties of fodder and vegetable
fats, altogether 100,000 tons.
Other foodstuffs that were regu
larly imported from the coun
tries beyond the seas are: Rice,
sugar, American pork, coffee,
cocoa, tea, tinned provisions,
spice and fruit.
Coffee was one of the most
important articles of importa
tlon before the war. The
Swedes are extremely fond of
coffee, which has been the na
tional beverage in Sweden for
many years. In 1837, 80,000
tons of coffee were shipped to
Sweden, which means eight kilo
grams for each person the
largest per capita consumption
of coffee in the world.
Besides foodstuffs, many other
articles were imported from the
west, such as mineral oils to a
quantity of more than 1,000,000
tons; chemicals, hides, furs, cot
ton, lead, copper, etc.
From these figures it may be
well understood how vital the
contact with the transoceanic
countries is to Sweden and it is
easy to imagine what difficulties
arose when the blockade began.
Private firms and the foreign
office succeeded, after overcom
ing many obstacles, In coming
to an. agreement with both belli
gerent parties, and on one of
the 'last days of 1940 the first
safe-conduct ship entered the
harbor of Gothenburg with a
cargo of beans, coffee, fats, etc.
From that day the safe-conduct
shipping has continued rather
satisfactorily. The total import
of food increased compared with
the previous year by 60 per
cent, to 380 million kroner.
Still, It has never been pos
sible to count upon safe-conduct
shipping when making provision
plans. Instead the ships have
been regarded as gifts from
heaven and it is always remem
bered that the traffic could sud
denly stop without warning.
Normally about 500 ship
ments a year came to Sweden,
whereas safe-conduct shipping
last year brought about 60 car
goes. This means that safe-
conduct, when it is at its best,
represents only from lu to Jo
per cent of normal snipping.
The limitations in the number of
cargoes makes it necessary to
choose the goods with the ut
most care. Moreover, it is not
only the Swedish government
that is interested in tne com'
position of the cargoes. Both
belligerents have to give their
consent to each shipment and
the supply or lack of goods in
the exporting country is natur
ally also decisive.
The main principle when
composing the safe-conduct car
goes is "greatest value in the
smallest space," and value is
not reckoned In gold out. in
need. ' ,
It has cost much work and
many sacrifices to keep this con
tact open. Several Swedish
shlDs have been lost. Last year
three big cargo ships were sunk
and this year there have already
been two losses.-

IT'S ONI THING to brew a- potAof
coffee and it's another to use cotfee as
the principal theme in feeding and en
tertaining a group of people. But with
Just the slightest amount of ingenuity
you can do that very thing with bnl
Jiant success.
I'm thinking of such problems as: tak
ing care Of a group of Red Cross work
ers, or the war-working woman who
wants to entertain some friends of a
Sunday morning, or aft informal mid
day meeting of P.- T. A. members.
Recently I took another trip down into
the heart of that hospitable state,
Texas. And I had the warm pleasure of
being a guest at just such a "morning
, coffee party" which Btarted about
eleven-thirty, - f
. The whole affair was on the order of a
"brunch," so that late workers could
consider it a breakfast and early risers
would make it a lunch.
When I investigated the details, later
. (my curiosity is never satisfied) I dis
covered that the whole thing had been
contrived simply and in a short time. .
The menu was as follows:
Baked Chicken Hash with '
Rip Ollvt Sauce
Broiled Tomato Halv
Hot Corn Muffins , .. ! Currant Jelly
; Old-Fashioned Gingerbread .
, nd Coffee -';'
The gingerbread tasted so good with
the coffee I asked my hostess for the
recipe. Here it is::
OLD-FASHIONED GINGERBREAD
2t cups enriched tap. cloves ' '
flour Vt euP shortening
3 tsps. baking powder 3 cup sugar
!4tsp. soda 2 eggs
Vt tap. lt 1 cup molasses
1 tap. ginger 1 oup boiling
1 tap. cinnamon water
Sift flour, measure; sift again with bak- :
ing powder, soda, salt and spices.
Cream shortening; gradually add sugar,
creaming until light and fluffy. Add
eggs, one at a time, beating well after
each addition. Alternately add molasses
and flour mixture, beating until smooth.
Add boiling water and stir until com
bined. Bake in well-greased drip pan
(9M12x2) in moderate oven (350' F),
45 minutes' or until done. Serve warm
or cold,, plain, with cheese topping,
wedges of cheese or warm with a fruit
sauce. Serves 12.'
Of course there are "evening coffee
affairs" when guests come after they
have had their dinner all but dessert
i and you serve coffee and any dessert
you want.
