Her wealth and her small but efficiently equipped Army make her a national leader in the so-called Oslo Group (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, The Netherlands, Finland, Belgium-Luxembourg Trade Union) which overlaps the so-called Northern Neutrals (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Finland). These groups pursue a ceaseless European activity for lowered customs barriers, mobilization of Europe's remaining moral forces against aggression, and until lately they were the energetic champions of the League of Nations, now admittedly defunct...

They resulted in celebrations at the dedications of power stations, but also in decrees that made factory managers liable to five years...
...humbler citizens afford expert, specialized consultation. Those who furiously denounce all group practice as "undemocratic" and "socialistic" are still living in the Horse and Buggy Days. Only by efficient, economical use of the new weapons at its disposal can the medical profession march on to new triumphs in its ceaseless struggle against disease...
