Another Stockholm story relates that these deserters have probably the highest crime rate of any small group in the world. one out of six being in trouble with the police. This is not surprising. since what the "left" pleases to call "young men with conscience" are in truth the misfits and problems found in any society. fleeing from discipline in the service or evading punishment for wrongdoings in the United States. Swedens double standard is pointed out in a letter to the editor of the Evening Star. in which the writer concisely makes his point that refugees from the Baltic states were turned over promptly to Stalin. while Hitlers legions were assisted on their way to conquer Norway. From Lisbon come reports that the Portuguese have followed the American example and recalled their ambassador to Sweden because of Swedish financial aid to the Communist guerrillas in Angola and Mozambique. Apparently this is the same type of aid which is contemplated for the North Vietnamese against Americans.
