Scandinavian delegates at the United Nations were fully informed of the cases. and many of them spoke to me about them. The Finnish delegates were especially disturbed that the United States could act as it did in the Mackie case. They refer to him as a refugee from America. Newspaper comment in Finland has been outright insulting toward the United States. as they make fun of our claim to power. dignity. and respect for the individual. These are not Communist or Communistline newspapers. either. One of these columnists wrote in the Paivan SanomatDaily Dispatchan organ of the SocialDemocrat Party: He [Mackie] has been declared an undesirable citizen. he has been accused of communism by McCarthyites. President Eisenhower rejected his appeal. and now he is herea man without papers or chattelsa penniless refugee in a borrowed coat amidst wintry frosts and blizzards. Mr. President. that is a typical Finnish editorial.
