servative and Liberal spokesien in the Ri.ksdag on the status
of military cooperation with Denrtark and Norway, stated that
the Swedish Cov'ernrment has rejected even United technical
cooperation with Denmark and Norway on the grounds that it
offers few adw .ntages and would "invite suspicion elsewhere?

An unusually heavy influx of re L:-ees from Eastern
Cer r'ny during recent ivee!{s is forcing. R stiffening of Sweden's
policy toward refugees. The Swedish economy cannot continue
to absorb large numbers C.A. refugees t%Ithout eventual strain
(there are at T)resent rou hly 1063000 aliens in Sweden of which
annroxi,nate.Ly 46,000 are refu gees) and. it i.s feared, particularly
by labor leaders, that unrestricted accentance of refugees will
create unemrl.ou lent. The S ;eiIi-s}t rovern,-;ent, moreover, is con-
cerned lest noiitiraily a ldesi.rable eler"~erits and foreign a rents

Sweden does not contemnl.ate re:usin; as`lum to bona fide
nolitical ret'r~;ees, but a large nronortion of the East ref~ e.ns
have fled not to escape politicFa1 ncrserut ion, but in the hone
of na!.ing a better livin - in Sweden. The Svrpdish no? icy is
that, after an and t-ime-consl'l,i,nE investigation
of each indi.viclual' s case, those cud.?gcd refugees prom, noiit ica.l
