197 Annals Am. Acad. Pol. & Soc. Sci. xi (1938)

handle is hein.cow/anamacp0197 and id is 1 raw text is: FOREWORD IN 1688, New Sweden was established on the shores of the Delaware. It brought an old civilization to the Delaware Valley-law, religious worship, civil government. Its life under the Swedish flag was brief, for it was soon con- quered by stronger neighbors, but its contribution to the building of an inde- pendent nation was a worthy one, well meriting the anniversary celebration now under way. In these three hundred years a mighty American nation has developed. They have also been years of progress for the country whence sprang the found- ers of the Delaware colony. After an era of temporary greatness, a war-spent and poverty-stricken Sweden has gradually been transformed into an indus- trial nation with flourishing cities and a world market. It is not, however, its material prosperity, its trade and manufactures, that have aroused the greatest interest. The attention of the world is more and more being focused on the intelligent manner in which Sweden is earnestly and successfully striving to achieve social justice and to make democracy work in an age when the demo- cratic ideal is being boldly challenged by totalitarian ideologies. It is the aim of this volume of THE ANNALS to review the legislation and to describe the policies, agencies, and institutions which have been created to deal with social problems in Sweden. In carrying out this plan the Editor has been fortunate in being able to enlist the aid of Professor Bertil Ohlin, member of the Swedish Senate and professor of economics at the Stockholm College of Business. The Editor is also indebted to the New Sweden Tercentenary Com- mission for the assistance it has rendered to Professor Ohlin; to Dr. Eric Eng- lund of the United States Department of Agriculture for translating Mr. Ytterborn's article; to Professor Arthur R. Upgren of the University of Minne- sota for translating Mr. Wigforss' article; and to Professor C. J. Ratzlaff of Lafayette College for translating Mr. Svensson's article. The undersigned is responsible for the translation of the articles by Messrs. M6ller, Axel Hojer, Goransson, Bengtsson, Wangson, Jerneman, and Karl J. Hojer, and that on The Labor Market and Its Regulation, by Mr. Skogh. The rest of the articles were submitted in English. Professors C. A. Kulp and Alfred Buehler of the University of Pennsylvania, and Dr. Helen Fisher Hohman of Northwestern University, have kindly read some of the translations which required the use of a specialized terminology.
